Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing regarding the coding course that I saw on your brochure and I wanted to tell you that I am interested in it but I need more information.

My childhood dream is that one day I have a job around computers, coding and A.I. I always wanted to know how apps and sites work behind the scene. Therefore, I am really interested in this course and I would kindly request more information.

Since I am currently working, I would first like to know the schedule. I am available Monday, Thursday and Wednesday. Additionally I would also like the length of the course as well as the pricing please.

I have been practicing alone with python and JavaScript. Does this course need previous experience or qualifications? I still consider myself as a beginner but I would really like to improve my coding skills and I am really eager to learn.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Sleiman

Task Response

The letter comprehensively addresses all aspects of the task, providing a clear explanation of interest, specific inquiries about the course schedule and cost, and questions about entry requirements. The content is well-organized and relevant, demonstrating a strong understanding of the task requirements.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear from the beginning, and each paragraph addresses a specific aspect of the request. To improve coherence, consider using more varied linking words and phrases to connect ideas within and between paragraphs. For example, instead of starting multiple sentences with 'I,' try rephrasing some to create a smoother flow. Also, ensure that each paragraph has a clear focus and transitions logically to the next.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and generally accurate for the task. To enhance the lexical resource, try incorporating more specific and nuanced vocabulary related to coding and course inquiries. For example, instead of 'pricing,' you could use 'tuition fees' or 'course fees.' Also, consider using more formal language where appropriate to maintain a professional tone.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a reasonable command of grammar, but there are some errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to sentence structure and verb tense consistency. For example, in the second paragraph, ensure that the tenses align correctly when discussing past dreams and current interests. Proofread carefully to catch and correct these errors. Also, vary your sentence structures to demonstrate a wider range of grammatical skills.
