Dear Sir/Madame,

I am writing to request further information regarding the basic life support course offered at your community college. I am interested in enrolling soon, but I would want to get additional details before sending my application.

First, could you provide the course schedule? I want to know on which days and what times the course being held, as well as if there is an option of it on weekends or evenings. I also want to know more about the content of the course, if we will be having a hands on experience like giving CPR, using defibrillators and instructions when an emergency arises.

In addition, I would like to ask what are the requirements and if there are fees I should be aware of. I would also like to confirm the deadline for the next available schedule.

Thank you for your assistance and looking forward in joining the course soon.

Respectfully,

Nina

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, clearly identifying the course, asking specific questions about the schedule and content, and inquiring about the application process and deadlines. There are no significant omissions. To further enhance the response, consider adding a more specific closing statement that reiterates your interest and availability.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. However, some sentences could be combined or rephrased for smoother flow. For example, the transition between the first and second paragraphs could be improved. Consider using more varied cohesive devices to enhance the connection between ideas.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate for the task. To further enhance your lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and varied vocabulary related to course inquiries and application processes. For instance, instead of 'sending my application,' you could use 'submitting my application.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect the clarity of the letter. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and proper article usage. For example, 'the course being held' should be 'the course is being held.' Proofreading carefully before submitting will help catch these errors.
