Dear Sir/Madam,

I have seen a brochure for a one-week walking tour in the Alps and I am very eager to join the tour. However, I have some health concerns and I am writing to request for your suggestions in order to help me keep up during the tour.

I have always loved the mountains and wanted to try walking among them but unforunately, i never had the chance. I knew this tour was for long over due dreams, as soon as I took a glance at the brochure. Also, the tour period of one week is very ideal as this is exactly the length of my upcoming time-off from work.

Moving forth, I would like to gather more informations from you such as dates of the tour and the prices in details. As much as I am keen about the tour, I may definitely need these information to make the final decsion.

Most importantly, I am a little worried about my fitness level as I am an office person with no training in advance for such a tour or even a regular work out. Should there be any physical exercises I should do prior to the tour, please do recommend me. You are welcome to suggest anything else you can think of that would help me increase my fitness level in a short notice.

I sincerely look forward to hearing from you soon and I am already excited for the tour.

Yours faithfully,

Emily

Task Response

The letter appropriately satisfies all the requirements of the task. It is well-organized, clearly explains the writer's interest in the tour, asks for relevant information, and expresses concerns about fitness levels with a request for advice. The tone is consistently polite and formal, and the language used is accurate and effective.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and each paragraph addresses a specific point as outlined in the task. However, the transition between ideas could be smoother in some places. For example, the transition from expressing interest to asking for information could be more seamless. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, using appropriate words and phrases to convey the message. However, there are instances where the word choice could be more precise or natural. For example, instead of saying 'Moving forth, I would like to gather more informations,' you could say 'Furthermore, I would like to inquire about...' This would enhance the sophistication of your language.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are some errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage. For example, 'request for your suggestions' could be improved to 'request your suggestions'. Also, ensure that punctuation is accurate throughout the letter.
