Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inform you that I would like to visit a city and I want to know about your hotel facilities.

I am Priyanka Patel from Surat. I recently learned that you opened a new hotel in Gandhinagar; therefore, I want to know some details about your hotel. I can easily book a room for any session and price range according to AC or non-AC rooms. In addition, how is the food quality, and is your staff well-trained?

I would be grateful if you could give me the right information, as I want to visit this hotel next week. I look forward to your positive reply as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Priyanka Patel

Task Response

The letter addresses the task requirements by introducing the writer, asking about room availability and prices (though implicitly), and inquiring about hotel facilities. There are some minor areas for improvement. The letter could be more specific about the desired dates and type of room. Also, the questions about food quality and staff training, while relevant to facilities, could be phrased more professionally. Overall, the letter is well-organized and uses a suitable tone. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the flow could be improved. The purpose of the letter is clear, but the organization of information could be more logical. Consider grouping related questions together to enhance readability. For example, keep all questions about room availability and prices in one paragraph, and questions about facilities in another.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more specific and varied vocabulary could enhance the letter. For example, instead of 'I want to know some details,' you could use 'I would appreciate detailed information regarding...' or 'I am interested in learning more about...'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains some grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity. For example, the sentence 'I can easily book a room for any session and price range according to AC or non-AC rooms' is a bit unclear. Rephrasing it to something like 'I am interested in booking a room and would like information on the availability and prices of both AC and non-AC rooms' would improve clarity. Pay attention to sentence structure and word choice to ensure accuracy.
