IELTS Task1 [Write a letter to the restaurant manager] Thanks for your help

Post by JamalOZ »

You and some friends ate a meal at a restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, and you were very pleased with the food and service.

Write a letter to the restaurant manager. In your letter
- Give details of your visit to the restaurant
- Explain the reason for the celebration
- Say what was good about the food and the service

Dear Sir,

I'm writing this letter to say thank you for yesterday's food and service quality.

We arrived quite early in the evening around 5pm. We were a group of ten people and we have been seated in the front area just next to the kitchen. We spent around four hours in the restaurant and we did not even notice the time passing as we had so much fun.

We were celebrating my 30th birthday as well as the birth of our friend John's son. It was also a special occasion as some of our friends living in Canada are in Sydney this week.

Both the service and the food were great. Firstly, the different ingredients such as the vegetables and meat were fresh and delicious. Also, the wine was exceptional. Furthermore, the waiters were very available and extremely professional.

We are looking forward to our next celebration in your restaurant.

Yours faithfully,
Peter James

Hello!

Overall, a very good essay. Grammar mistakes do not interfere with meaning. A suitable range of structures are used and past tenses are used consistently well.

I think that the third point could be more developed. What food did you eat? Meat and vegetables isn't very specific. And also be more specific about the service. Perhaps pick out something that a member of staff did, e.g. you forgot something and they found it.

All the best,
David
