Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this to inquire about the services, rooms cost for the weekends, places, and activities near at seaside hotel.

Me and my family are planning to make an appointment at seaside hotel. However, I had a few questions before I book a room accommodation. I have a time to consider that we are leaving on Thursday afternoon and we will arrive at Friday morning. Firts, I would like to arrange for our room, which is why I would like a family room to cater us, and especially with two beds, one for my parents and the other is for me and my brother. Secondly, I would like to know how much the cost of the room in weekends, therefore I could prapare extra money. Moreover, what activities are available, held near in the hotel as well as the places to visit that could make our vacation memorable.

Hoping for your response at youe earliest convenience.

Your faithfully,

Thad

Task Response

The letter adequately covers the requirements of the task, providing relevant information about the arrival/departure dates, room preferences, cost inquiry, and activities. However, there are some minor lapses in clarity and detail. To improve, ensure that the requests are very clear and specific, and that the tone is consistently polite and formal.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the flow of ideas could be improved. Consider structuring your letter with a clear introduction, body paragraphs addressing each point (arrival/departure, room requirements, cost, and activities), and a concise conclusion. Using more explicit transition words and phrases would also help to connect your ideas more smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and variety. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'room,' you could use 'accommodation' or specify the type of room more clearly (e.g., 'a family suite'). Try to incorporate more descriptive language to make your requests and inquiries more specific and engaging.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and proper sentence structure. For instance, the sentence 'Me and my family are planning to make an appointment at seaside hotel' should be rephrased for better grammar and style. Proofreading carefully and focusing on constructing grammatically sound sentences will enhance the overall quality of your writing.
