Answer & explanation
Dear Course Organiser,
I saw your advertisement for the beginner photography course at the community centre. I would like to learn how to take better pictures. I have not taken a photography course before, and I am free on Saturdays. Could you tell me how much the course costs? Do I need to bring my own camera, or can I use my phone? I would also like to know the date of the first lesson.
Thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Mina

The organiser replies: the next course is on Fridays. You work every Friday and cannot attend.
Write 50–75 words. Thank the organiser, explain why Fridays are impossible, and ask whether a Saturday group is planned later. Do not book the Friday course.
Answer & explanation
Dear Course Organiser,
Thank you for sending the course information. Unfortunately, I work every Friday, so I cannot attend the next course. I am still interested in learning photography. Are you planning another beginner group on Saturdays later in the year? If so, could you let me know when information about it is available?
Best wishes,
Mina

This is one possible response, not the only correct answer. Thank the organiser, explain that Friday lessons are impossible for you, and ask about a future Saturday group. Do not confirm a Friday booking.
