Band 7+: You want to join a local sports team. Write an email to the team coach to express your interest. In your email, you should: Introduce yourself and state the purpose of your writing. Explain your previous experience in sports (position you play, how long you have played). Ask about the tryout dates, required equipment to bring, and the registration process. Write at least 120-150 words. Use an appropriate formal tone.

The letter addresses all parts of the task effectively. You have introduced yourself, explained your experience, and asked the necessary questions regarding tryouts, equipment, and registration. The tone is appropriate for a formal email to a coach. To improve and reach a higher band, you could expand slightly more on your experience or the specific type of equipment you are inquiring about to ensure the word count is robustly within the target range and to provide more depth to the response. Additionally, ensure there are no minor spacing errors (e.g., 'Ezoza ,'). The letter falls short of the required 150 words.

The letter is exceptionally well-organized. Each bullet point from the task is addressed in its own logical section, making the message very easy to follow. The transitions between introducing yourself, discussing experience, and asking questions are smooth and natural.

The vocabulary used is accurate, appropriate for a formal email, and effectively communicates the intended meaning. To reach a band 9, you could incorporate more sophisticated or specific sports-related terminology (e.g., 'competitive environment,' 'tactical awareness,' or 'formal enrollment process') to demonstrate a wider range of lexical control. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

The grammar is flawless. You have used a good mix of simple and complex sentence structures correctly. Punctuation is used appropriately throughout, and there are no errors that impede communication. The tone remains consistently formal and polite.
