language
Proofread the text to correct spelling errors (e.g., "begining" should be "beginning," "recomendation" should be "recommendation"). This will help improve the overall clarity and professionalism of the letter.
coherence
Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a single idea. For example, the paragraph discussing the waitstaff's attitude could be separated from the paragraph describing the food quality issues.
task achievement
The letter effectively addresses all parts of the task: problems with the food, issues with the service, and a reasonable suggestion for resolution.
task achievement
The writing tone is suitable for a formal complaint letter. Politeness is maintained even when expressing dissatisfaction, which adds to the effectiveness of the communication.
