Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Sapna, a resident of Kathmandu, Nepal. I am writing to inquire about hotel rooms, their costs, and recommended areas to visit during our upcoming trip to Singapore.

My family, consisting of my mother, elder sister, and I, plan to spend our next weekend at a seaside hotel in Singapore. We will be arriving on 23 May and departing on 30 May.

As there are three of us, I would like to request a twin bed room with soundproofing, as my mother is a light sleeper. Considering our budget of $450, I would appreciate it if you could arrange a room at a minimum price.

During our week-long stay, we aim to visit famous sites around the hotel and would appreciate any assistance in finding locations. We look forward to your prompt response and hope to meet you soon.

Thank you for your time, and I eagerly await your response.

Yours sincerely,

Sapna Magar

Task Response

The letter fully addresses the task, covering all the required points. However, there is a slight mismatch between the task and the letter, as the task asks for a weekend stay, but the letter mentions a week-long stay. To achieve a band 9, the letter should be more precise in its details and avoid such inconsistencies.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-structured and easy to follow, with each paragraph logically connected to the previous one. However, some cohesion devices could be used more effectively to link the paragraphs. For example, transitional phrases could be used to connect the paragraphs more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

7.5

The letter uses a range of vocabulary, but some words and phrases are repeated, and there is limited use of more sophisticated vocabulary. To achieve a higher score, the writer could use more precise and nuanced vocabulary, such as using 'accommodation' instead of 'hotel rooms'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good range of sentence structures, and grammar is generally accurate. However, there are some minor errors, such as the use of 'week-long stay' instead of 'weekend stay'. To achieve a higher score, the writer should ensure that grammar is consistently accurate throughout the letter.
