Student answer (Band 6.0)

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing this letter to book your hotel for an event which would be on August 15 2026. It will be a seminar, which will be organized by Belpak company. There would be total count of people around 30-35.

The one thing which attracts me the most is friendly nature of your hotel's staff. They all are very organized and well mannered. I like the ambiance of this hotel.

In order to organize a successful event, I want to give you an advice. First of all, make sure both male and female washroom should be cleaned and equipped with all the required items such as, paper towel, hand wash, sanitary pads and good supply of water. secondly, it would be impressive to have appropriate seating plan in lunch area because this event will be in the afternoon.

I hope you will do everything as per my expectations. I

Yours Faithfully,

Anju Pal.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

You have addressed all three bullet points required by the task: providing event details, mentioning positive aspects of the hotel, and suggesting improvements. However, the tone is slightly inconsistent. You begin by stating you are writing to 'book' the hotel, but the prompt implies you have already held an event there ('You recently helped your company organise an event'). This creates a slight confusion regarding the timeline. To improve, ensure your narrative aligns perfectly with the prompt's premise. The ideas are relevant, but the suggestion section could be more detailed to fully develop the response.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.5

The letter is logically organized into clear paragraphs, each addressing a specific requirement of the prompt. You use basic cohesive devices such as 'First of all' and 'secondly' to structure your suggestions. However, the transition between the introduction and the body paragraphs is a bit abrupt. The use of referencing is generally clear, though some sentences feel slightly disjointed. To reach a higher band, try to use a wider variety of linking words and ensure that the flow between sentences is smoother and less mechanical.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, using terms like 'seminar', 'ambiance', and 'equipped'. However, there are some minor inaccuracies in word choice, such as 'total count of people' (a more natural phrasing would be 'total number of attendees') and 'give you an advice' (advice is an uncountable noun and should be 'give you some advice' or 'offer a suggestion'). The vocabulary is sufficient to convey your meaning clearly, but it lacks the precision and variety required for a higher band score.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

You use a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. There are several grammatical errors, such as 'make sure both male and female washroom should be cleaned' (the 'should' is redundant here) and 'this event will be in the afternoon' (which is slightly vague). Punctuation is generally functional, though there is a stray 'I' before the sign-off. While these errors do not impede communication, they occur frequently enough to prevent a higher score. Focus on subject-verb agreement and the correct usage of articles and uncountable nouns.
