Band 6+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You would like to buy some electrical goods at a shop in a nearby town. Write a letter to the shop and ask if they have the things you want or whether they will be able to order them. Ask what the prices are and how long they will be able to hold the goods for you. You should write at least 150 words.

The letter addresses all parts of the task: it asks about availability, requests pricing information, and asks about holding the goods. However, the response could be more fully developed to reach a higher band. For instance, the explanation regarding living in a 'nearby town' is slightly contradictory to the earlier mention of living in Sakarya, which might confuse the reader regarding the distance. To improve, try to expand on the details of the request to ensure a more natural flow and more substantial content. Additionally, ensure that all bullet points in the prompt are addressed with sufficient depth; while you asked about holding the goods, providing a specific reason for the request or a more detailed timeframe would make the letter feel more complete.

The letter follows a logical progression, but the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. The sentences are often short and 'choppy,' which prevents the flow from being effortless. To improve, try using more cohesive devices and complex sentence structures to link your questions and statements. For example, instead of several short questions about payment, you could combine them: 'Could you please let me know if you accept credit cards and whether it is possible to pay in six installments?'

The vocabulary used is functional and appropriate for the task, but it is quite basic. There is a repetitive use of simple words like 'buy,' 'want,' and 'can.' To reach a higher band, aim for more sophisticated lexical choices. Instead of 'the phone which I want to buy,' you could use 'the specific model I am interested in.' Instead of 'get information about stock,' you could use 'inquire about your current inventory.' Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The grammar is generally understandable, but the range of structures is limited. Most sentences follow a simple Subject-Verb-Object pattern. While there are no major errors that impede communication, the lack of variety in sentence structure (such as using conditional sentences or relative clauses more effectively) keeps the score lower. Additionally, ensure that your phrasing sounds natural; for instance, 'the charge capacity is important to me' would be more naturally expressed as 'battery life is a priority for me.'
