Band 9: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You and your family are planning to spend a weekend at a seaside hotel. Write a letter to the hotel, making the arrangements. In your letter • tell them when you will be arriving and leaving • explain what type of rooms you would like, and ask how much the weekend will cost • ask about activities and places of interest near the hotel You should write at least 150 words.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inquire about room availability, pricing, and nearby attractions at your hotel for an upcoming weekend stay.

My family of five, including a two-year-old child, plans to arrive on the morning of Saturday, 10th December, and depart on Monday, 12th December. We would prefer two spacious, adjacent rooms on a higher floor with sea views. Given that we are traveling with a young child, we would appreciate a baby cot in one of the rooms. Additionally, we would prefer the rooms to be located in a quiet, non-smoking area.

I have reviewed the pricing on your website but would like to confirm whether weekend rates include any additional charges. Please provide a breakdown of the total cost, including taxes and any applicable fees.

Furthermore, I would be grateful if you could recommend family-friendly activities and must-visit attractions near the hotel. We are particularly interested in beach activities, local cultural experiences, and child-friendly entertainment options. Any information on guided tours or nearby restaurants would also be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,

Naim
