Predicted band6.5Dear Sir or Madam, I am a student at St Mary's College in Perth, Western Australia, and I am planning to go on a trip to the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales with a few other classmates of mine. We would like to stay in your hostel and would appreciate your help regarding this. We are planning to stay at your hostel from 4th June to 11th June 2025. We will be ten students in total and we need accommodation facilities for all. We expect five rooms, each with an attached bathroom and room heater. Moreover, we would like to have cooking facilities as a few of us would like to cook us meals. Our team would primarily explore the Snowy Mountains area and do skiing. However, we would be in a few other places nearby to travel the whole area. Any recommendation would be highly appreciated. It would be great if you could inform the availability of the rooms between 4th and 11th January. I would also request the cost of the rooms and details of the included facilities. I hope to receive the information soon. Yours faithfully, Ashesha WeerasinghePredicted band7.0Dear Sir or Madam, I am Rona Olivar and I had a phone conversation with you last week. I am organizing a group of students from Perth Elementary School to the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales for a study tour. As a student adviser, I am writing to you regarding some information we need to reserve your hostel. Firstly, we will be visiting the mountains on 25th April, next Saturday. I and my students will be staying in your hostel for seven days because we will be conducting a long educational trip in those snowy mountains. Secondly, the group has twenty members in total including me. So we will need at least 8 rooms to accommodate us. We are looking for something cheap and expecting a discount from you. I would like to know if you can provide us with the required accommodation at your hostel and if so, how I can reserve it. I am looking forward to your immediate attention with regards to my queries. Yours faithfully, Rona OlivarPredicted band7.0Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you to get some information about the accommodation at your hostel during our visit to the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales. I am in charge of the trip for a group of students and would appreciate your assistance regarding this. I am John Miller, a lecturer at St Joseph’s College in Perth. We are planning to take a trip to Australia next month and would stay there from 2nd May to 7th May. We would like to visit the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales with our students as part of a study excursion. We have planned to stay at your Hostel during this trip for one week. We are a group of 20 students and 3 lecturers and we require accommodation of 5 double bedrooms and 2 large deluxe rooms. It would be great if we can get rooms with attached bathrooms and kitchens because some of our students prefer to cook for themselves. Please let us know the availability of accommodation in the mentioned period and booking details if they are available. Thank you in advance. Yours faithfully, John Miller
