INTRODUCTION

This report is intended to evaluate the success of the six months {1} English Course, which I have assisted {2} recently at the Academy Center in English.

LOW AREAS {3}

First of all, as there were twenty of us in the class, we were a bit crowded, and also the computer room was not big enough for all of us. Another thing to mention as a drawback is the cost of the course being too high.

PLUSES

As I had expected, {***} {4}teachers were well-qualified and friendly, {***} {5} what´s more, there were a pleasant atmosphere among the other students. As a consequence, my English improved a lot.

CONCLUSION

To sum up, my only suggestion would be reducing the amount {6} of students per class. Otherwise, the course was great and interesting and I have enjoyed studying. I would recommend it to my friends and I am sure I will be back in the future. {7}


Feedback

This is a very well-written answer to the task, Pablo. I like the way you have organised this report and given each paragraph its own heading. This really helps the reader, doesn't it? You have a good range of grammatical structures and you're ambitious in the vocabulary you use. Another positive aspect is your use of linking phrases ('Another thing to mention...', 'As a consequence...', 'To sum up....') which helps your writing to flow nicely. For the makeover, I have commented on aspects of your English that wouldn't be considered too serious at FCE-level but are points you may wish to remember for the future!

All the best with your FCE result.
