Dear Sir,

I am a student of pharmacy assistant course at Heritage College and currently moved here for my study. Everything is new to me, so I am writing to request about sports club located near to Heritage College.

I would be very grateful if you could help me by providing the information about the sports and activities here, as I am very keen to learn about more sports, as this will help me to get relaxed from studies at free time and your information could be helpful for me to choose from different sports to that I can improve my skills in my current sport of basketball.

I could like to know more about facilities available at the club as well as about the process of how I have to apply for sports club with the charges. With this, it could be grateful if you have membership available at the club as this will help me to interact with other members.

Thank you for your consideration

Your Faithfully

Task Response

The letter appropriately addresses all parts of the task, introducing the writer, explaining the interest in the sports club, and asking relevant questions about facilities, membership, and costs. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed. To improve, ensure clarity and precision in language use throughout the letter.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a paragraph to each of the points mentioned in the task instructions: introducing yourself, explaining your interest in the club, and asking specific questions. This will enhance the flow and clarity of your letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more precise and varied language to express your ideas. For example, instead of 'very keen to learn about more sports,' you could say 'eager to explore a variety of sports.' Also, avoid informal expressions.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, verb tense consistency, and correct use of prepositions. For example, 'request about sports club' should be 'request information about the sports club.' Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and avoid run-on sentences.
