Dear Sir,

I am writing to enquire about car rental service, for this week end. A Toyota Camry, 5 seater car is needed from your agency for four days. Yesterday, evening I visited your centre, but unfortunately, there was no one to assist me.

If the vehicle is available, then I would like to pick up the motorcar from your office on June 25th, that is, Thursday morning, at 9 am. And would assume dropping it at the second terminal of Muscat International Airport on Sunday evening by sharp 6o’ clock.

I would kindly appreciate if the vehicle involves specific features like bluetooth connection and GPS navigation, which can help us to commute smoothly. Additionally, I would like to include a collision Damage waiver(CDW) and comprehensive roadside assitance to ensure that we are fully covered, in case of emergency.

Could you please let me know if this type of vehicle is available on these dates, and provide a full quote including insurance and any extra fee. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Asifa

Task Response

The letter fully addresses all parts of the task. The candidate provides specific details regarding the vehicle type, duration, pickup/drop-off locations and times, and specific requirements for features and insurance. The tone is appropriately formal and the purpose of the letter is clear from the outset. To further improve, ensure minor typographical errors (such as 'week end' instead of 'weekend' or '6o' clock' instead of '6 o'clock') are corrected, though these do not detract from the overall task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter follows a logical progression, addressing all parts of the prompt in separate paragraphs. However, the flow is occasionally interrupted by awkward phrasing and punctuation errors (e.g., 'Yesterday, evening' and 'And would assume'). To improve, ensure that sentences are connected more smoothly using appropriate transition words and avoid starting sentences with 'And' in a formal context. The paragraphing is appropriate, but the internal cohesion of sentences needs work.

Lexical Resource

You have used some good topic-specific vocabulary, such as 'collision Damage waiver', 'comprehensive roadside assistance', and 'GPS navigation'. However, there are some unnatural word choices, such as 'motorcar' (which sounds outdated) and 'involves specific features' (where 'includes' or 'is equipped with' would be more natural). Aim for more precise collocations to enhance the professional tone of the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are several grammatical inaccuracies that affect the professional quality of the letter. Issues include missing articles (e.g., 'enquire about car rental service' should be 'the car rental service'), incorrect punctuation (e.g., 'Yesterday, evening'), and awkward sentence structures (e.g., 'And would assume dropping it...'). Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and the use of articles. Practicing complex sentence structures while ensuring accuracy will help raise this score.
