Dear Sir,

I hope this letter finds you well. I have recently learned that your company is going to organise a tour to the hilly areas for one week. I am keen to participate in such trips but I am afraid I would not be able to cope up with this walking tour. So, I am writing this to ask for some information and to discuss some of my issues.

Firstly, I am delighted to share that I am fond of visiting mountain ranges, because it is close to nature. There are breath-taking views of the lakes surrounding with the mountains, as I have seen many pictures on the internet.

Secondly, I want to inquire about the exact dates of departure and arrival at the distination. Besides this, I am also concerned with the prices of the tour. Are there any packages available that includes food and stay for seven weeks?

Finally, I want to share some of my problems, such as I feel nausea and stomachache while going to some heightened areas, also I am taking some pills to relieve my shoulder pain on regular basis. Would suc issue effect my walking journey?

So, I am looking forward to your response.

KInd Regards,

Shumaila Iqbal.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all requirements of the task, providing relevant and sufficient information. The purpose of the letter is clear, and the questions are well-articulated. To further improve, ensure that the duration mentioned in the second question matches the tour duration mentioned in the task (one week instead of seven weeks).

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and the questions are logically presented. However, there are a few areas where the flow could be improved. For example, in the third paragraph, the transition to discussing prices could be smoother. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas more effectively.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate. Phrases like 'keen to participate' and 'breath-taking views' are effective. To further enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more specific vocabulary related to hiking and fitness, such as 'challenging terrain,' 'moderate intensity,' or 'altitude sickness.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with a variety of sentence structures used. There are a few minor errors, such as 'cope up with,' which should be 'cope with,' and 'suc issue' which should be 'such issues'. Pay close attention to prepositions and articles, and proofread carefully to catch these small errors.
