Student answer (Band 6.0)

Dear Madam,

Recently, you organized a event of opening of you hotel Sardar Ji. I visited there everything was good in the hotel, the catering and all the stuff. And the food was so delicious. You gave speech as well in which you told about the hotel amenities. I really appreciate it.

I really like the way of service to customer the manger treat with polit way and has good communication skills. Apart from this, the hotel has great design and suspicious are and lobby it too good with all amenities .

But i want suggest about the elevator because this hotel has 3 floor and stair to go upper floors. If the elevator can be install that will be too good for hotel because when people come with their family that time it is difficult for elder to go upstairs. According to me, this thing will be worth for them as well for hotel.

Thank you for your excellent service. We would be happy to organize another company event at your hotel in the future.

Yours sincerely,

Yatin.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The letter addresses all three bullet points: providing details about the event, mentioning positive aspects of the hotel, and suggesting improvements. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat limited. For instance, the details about the event are vague, and the suggestion regarding the elevator could be more professionally articulated. The tone is generally appropriate for a formal letter, though some phrasing is slightly informal or awkward. To improve, ensure that each point is expanded with more specific detail to fully satisfy the requirements of the prompt.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The letter is organized into clear paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. There is a logical progression from the introduction to the positive feedback, the suggestion, and the closing. However, the use of cohesive devices is somewhat mechanical and limited. Transitions between sentences are occasionally abrupt, and some referencing is unclear, such as the phrase 'suspicious are' which seems to be a misspelling or misuse of vocabulary that disrupts the flow of the second paragraph.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is adequate for the task but lacks the precision and variety expected at higher bands. There are several noticeable errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'manger' instead of 'manager', 'polit' instead of 'polite', and 'suspicious are' which appears to be a confusion for 'spacious area'. These errors occasionally impede the reader's understanding. To reach a higher band, focus on using more accurate collocations and ensuring correct spelling of common professional terms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The response uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors throughout. Issues include missing articles ('a event'), incorrect verb forms ('If the elevator can be install'), and subject-verb agreement errors ('this hotel has 3 floor'). While the meaning is generally clear, these persistent errors in basic grammar and punctuation prevent the writing from reaching a higher band. Focusing on sentence construction and proofreading for basic errors would significantly improve the quality of the writing.
