Band 4+: You saw a posting online for a short-term administrative assistant position at a local travel agency. Write a letter to the agency manager applying for the position. You should include details about: - which specific role or tasks you are applying for - why your previous work experience makes you a good candidate - your availability for an interview.

The letter addresses all three bullet points required by the task, which is a positive aspect. However, the development of these points is somewhat thin. For example, while you mention having 5 years of experience, you do not provide specific details or examples of tasks you performed that would make you a 'good candidate' for a travel agency specifically. To improve, try to expand on your relevant skills (e.g., booking systems, customer service, or organization) to better satisfy the second bullet point. Additionally, ensure the tone remains professional; for instance, 'Dear Mr. Mike' is slightly informal for a job application (using the surname is standard), and some phrasing is a bit awkward. Aim for more descriptive content to provide a fuller response to the prompt. The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

The letter follows a logical structure by addressing the prompts in order, but the transitions between ideas are somewhat abrupt. To improve, use more sophisticated linking words and ensure that each paragraph flows naturally into the next. For example, instead of starting a paragraph with 'After screening...', you could use 'Having reviewed the job description...' to create a smoother connection to your previous statement.

The vocabulary is functional but limited and contains several errors in word choice and collocation (e.g., 'apply my dream admistrative job' should be 'apply for my dream administrative job'). There are also spelling errors like 'admistrative'. To reach a higher band, aim to use more professional business terminology, such as 'demonstrated expertise,' 'relevant experience,' or 'suitability for the role,' and ensure all technical terms are spelled correctly.

There are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally hinder the clarity of the message. Issues include article usage ('the my working experiences'), subject-verb agreement, and awkward phrasing ('what the job scopes are depend on'). Focus on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that your verb tenses are consistent. Practicing the use of relative clauses (e.g., 'experience which aligns with...') will help improve your grammatical range.
