You saw a brochure for a one-week walking tour in the mountains. You're very interested in taking part, but you're not very fit and are worried you wouldn't be able to keep up. Write to the tour operator. In your letter: • Explain why you're interested in the tour. • Ask for information about dates and prices. • Express your concerns about your fitness level.

Dear Sir, I hope
this
letter finds you well. In
this
letter, I would like to address my interest and a few questions regarding the one-week walking tour in the mountains.
Firstly
, I'm a very enthusiastic person and I'm very interested in the event.
Secondly
, I'm the type of person who loves to travel more and explore a lot of places, upon seeing the news in a brochure, I felt I should cope with
this
opportunity, and participate in the tour. I will be pleased to know about the dates and prices for the concert, as I work in an IT company and I need to take the week off to attend.
However
, the main reason for asking
this
is, that I have a family function to attend next month.
Last
summer, I met with an accident, in which both my legs were injured,
due to
the incident my fitness levels were reduced drastically. I am worried about the length of the trail, and I don't think I will be able to keep up with others. I will be happy to hear your opinion on my concern. Your's Truly, Srinivas Varma.

task response
To enhance task response, ensure that your letter addresses all parts of the prompt explicitly. While you discussed your interest in the tour, asked about dates and prices, and expressed concerns about your fitness, providing more specific details about why the tour interests you beyond being an enthusiastic person could strengthen your response. Furthermore, detailing what kind of information you're specifically looking for about the dates and prices (e.g., deadline for registration, whether prices include accommodation) will make your inquiry more pointed and relevant.
coherence and cohesion
For improving coherence and cohesion, consider using a variety of cohesive devices beyond simply starting a new paragraph for each new idea. Transition words or phrases such as 'Furthermore,' 'Additionally,' or 'Regarding my concerns,' can help the reader see more clearly how your ideas connect. Also, use a clear paragraph structure: introduce the topic of the paragraph in the first sentence, develop it in the following sentences, and use a concluding sentence if necessary.
