Dear Sir/Madam
I want to book a room at your hotel. I’d like one
single room for three nights from 12th to 15th
February. I prefer a non-smoking room.
Can you please confirm the price for bed and
breakfast? And is there wireless broadband in
the rooms?
I also need parking for my car.
Many thanks.
Yours faithfully

phrases)
Progress Test 3
Dear Pat
I prefer to travel with National. It is more
expensive that EurLo, but the airport is closer to
the city. The taxi is more expensive than the
train, but the journey time is shorter. We can
also have a free meal during the flight. There are
more flights each day, and the flights arrive
earlier. With EurLo, we arrive at 10.45 p.m. I think
this is too late!
All the best
(68 words, not including opening and closing phrases)
Dear Pat
I prefer to travel with EurLo. It is much cheaper
than National. The cost of getting into the city
centre by train is also cheaper than the taxi from
Barcelona Airport. There is no free meal during
the EurLo flight, and the flight arrives late in the
evening, but for me, this is not a problem. What
do you think?

will lead the meeting at 10.15. We’re having lunch
in the company restaurant at 12.45 p.m., and in
the afternoon, Veejay will take the visitors on a
tour of the factory. We’ll have a question-and-
answer time and coffee lead by Tamsin at 4.00
p.m., and after that, at 5.00 p.m., Edith will go
with the Polish team to their hotel.

Dear Jeremy
I’m writing about the Global Trade Fair on 28
August. We’re going to present from 2.00 to 2.30
p.m. Do you know what time we should arrive?
Also, what products we should present?
We’re travelling on 27 August on flight 267. What
airline is that? What time does the flight depart
and arrive? We’re going to meet Carlos López in
the evening, but where are we going to meet?
We return on 29 August on a flight at 4.35 p.m.
Do you have the other flight details? What airline
are we flying? What time do we arrive?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
