Dear Real Estate Agent,

I am moving to Perth, Australia from Dhaka, Bangladesh on 2nd February, 2027. I am moving with my family. My family includes my husband, two children(one eleven years old and one five years old) and myself. I therefore please need a two bed room flat, which can be independent or in an apartment complex, costing AUD 500 per week at most. It will be better if the location is near Bunbury where my brother lives.

Please include the facilites present around the property, how far the metrorail is, if any, where the closest bus stops are, the type of school and proximity as well as the supershop for groceries.

I will be extremely grateful for your help. Please mention your fees with detailed breakdown and of any installment, if available.

Thank you.

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all requirements of the task, providing relevant and sufficient information about the accommodation needs, preferred location, and budget. The questions about facilities, transport, schools, and fees are also well-placed. A slightly more detailed description of the desired property features (e.g., specific amenities or preferences) could further enhance the response. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the instructions: accommodation type, location/budget, and questions about services. This would enhance clarity. Also, ensure a smooth flow of information by using appropriate linking words and phrases.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more specific and varied vocabulary related to housing and real estate. For example, instead of 'facilities present around the property,' you could mention specific amenities like parks, community centers, or recreational areas. Also, 'supershop' is not commonly used; consider 'supermarket' or 'grocery store.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I therefore please need a two bed room flat' could be rephrased as 'Therefore, I require a two-bedroom flat.' Pay attention to sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles (a, an, the). Proofread carefully to minimize these errors.
