You must write a formal email asking for more information about the offer. Important: This is not an application, but an information request. Key elements examiners look for:
Dear Sir or Madam, I read your advertisement and I am very interested in your course. I would like to ask a few questions: 1. ... 2. ... 3. ... 4. ... Thank you in advance for your response. Kind regards, [First name Last name]
“This task is very predictable – with a clear structure, helpful phrases, and some topic-specific vocabulary, you can handle almost any version with confidence. Practice writing emails on different topics and get feedback – that will really improve your skills.”
The “Request for Information” task is one of the most common and reliable formats in the Telc B2 writing module. If you follow a clear structure, use polite language, and address all key points, you have a great chance to earn a high score in this part of the exam.
