Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about seaside hotel, as we are planning to spend a weekend to stay at your hotel. I and my family we be leaving here in London on Thursday afternoon and our arrival is on Friday afternoon. We decided to go directly at seaside hotel and take some rest before heading to dinner. I have a room arrangements, before I book online. I am looking for a family room and having an extra bed for my brother, and how much it cost for each day, so I could separate money for the payments.

On the other hand, waht would be the most eye catching places would you recommend to visit as will as the events to be memorable to our family. Is there a magical place at night to visit and nearest affordable restaurant for lunch?

I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.

Your faithfully,

Thad

Task Response

The letter covers the requirements of the task, including arrival/departure, room preferences, cost inquiry, and questions about local activities. There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the letter is clear and fulfills the prompt's requirements. To improve, focus on using more precise language and proofreading for grammatical accuracy.

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 stating your purpose, followed by separate paragraphs detailing your arrival/departure, room requirements, cost inquiries, and questions about local attractions. Using more explicit connecting words and phrases would also enhance the letter's coherence.

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 'eye catching places,' you could use 'notable attractions' or 'popular landmarks.' Try to incorporate more specific and descriptive language to make your letter more engaging and informative.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage ('a,' 'an,' 'the'). For instance, 'I and my family we be leaving' is grammatically incorrect; it should be 'My family and I will be leaving.' Proofreading carefully and focusing on basic grammar rules will significantly improve your accuracy.
