Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing to apply for an event coordinator position which was posted on your website. I believe I am a great fit for this position, as I do have extensive experience in the industy and I am very passionate about what I do.

To begin with, I have been working with events since I have obtained my degree in business management 5 years ago. Troughout my career I got to organize hundreds of birthday parties, weddings and corporate events. Every case that I have worked with, had lots of positive reviews from the customers and I will be happy to share those upon request.

On top of that, I have a solid foundation in sales from my part time position as a customer success lead at a payments company. This gives me an undertanding of what attracts people, and it might be something your retaurant can benefit from.

As for my availability, I would prefer working any time between the hours of 9am and 3pm, Monday through Wednesday. I will be also be available to work every second Friday of the month during this summer.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Please let me know if there is anything you might have questions about.

Best regards,

Danylo Vityk.

Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points of the task effectively. The candidate clearly states the intention to apply, provides relevant professional experience, and specifies availability. The tone is appropriate for a formal application. However, there is a slight mismatch between the task prompt and the response: the prompt mentions a 'part-time job' at a restaurant (implying general staff), whereas the candidate applies for a specific 'event coordinator' role. While this is acceptable, ensuring the experience directly relates to the specific nature of the restaurant (e.g., hospitality vs. corporate events) would strengthen the response. To improve, ensure all spelling is accurate (e.g., 'industry', 'throughout', 'restaurant', 'understanding') to maintain a professional standard.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is very well-structured and easy to follow. You have used appropriate transitional phrases such as 'To begin with', 'On top of that', and 'As for my availability' to guide the reader through your points. The paragraphing is logical and aligns perfectly with the bullet points in the task. To reach a higher score, ensure that the flow between sentences feels even more natural and less reliant on standard linking words.

Lexical Resource

You demonstrate a good range of vocabulary, using terms like 'extensive experience', 'solid foundation', and 'customer success lead'. However, there are several spelling errors (e.g., 'industy', 'Troughout', 'undertanding', 'retaurant') that prevent a higher score. While these do not impede communication, a band 8 or 9 requires more consistent accuracy in spelling. Aim to double-check your work for these minor typographical errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

You use a variety of complex sentence structures, such as relative clauses and conditional-style phrasing. However, there are some grammatical inaccuracies, such as 'since I have obtained my degree... 5 years ago' (which should use the past simple 'since I obtained') and 'I will be also be available' (a repetition error). Refining your use of verb tenses, particularly when discussing completed past actions, will improve your overall accuracy.
