You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

You are organising a trip to the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales for a group of students from Perth in Western Australia.

Write to the manager of Student Hostel Services. In your letter, explain:

  • when you want to visit the Snowy Mountains
  • how long you will stay
  • how many students are in your group and what accommodation you will require

Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Sir or Madam,


Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you to enquire and possibly confirm our stay in New South Wales at one of your hostels. We are a group of students from Perth, planning for a month long trip.

We will be reaching New South Wales on our second week into our trip, and this will be on the 20th of November 2021. We will be spending two weeks there. We certainly look forward for skiing on the famous snowy mountains in South Wales, hopefully we will be ending our trip at the best place we can visit.

We will be eight students in total, yeah relatively small group. So we will not have many things to require, just 8 beds that can fit us. If you can actually split us into two rooms that would be perfect, as we are group of mixed gender, so this will be more convenient for us. I was wondering whether any skiing equipment would be provided?

Regards, Nael
