Band 5+: You are renting an apartment, and there has been an ongoing issue with noise from your neighbors. This is significantly disrupting your sleep and work. Write a letter to your landlord explaining the situation. You should include details about: - the nature and frequency of the noise problem - how it is affecting your daily life - what steps you would like the landlord to take to resolve the issue.

Dear landlord,

I hope you are doing well.I am writing this letter to present a problem that is affecting me.Well,since I moved to this apartment a year ago,I have experienced noise problems from my neighbours.The neighbours play very loud music,especially during the night which makes it very difficult for me to sleep comfortably.Lacking sleep at night leads to me being unproductive during the day.However,it not only leads to unproductivity during the day,but also leads to poor memory and lack of concentration.Additionally,during the day,I am a ‘work at home’ person,which makes loud music interfere with my work because,sometimes I normally have scheduled online meetings,which is affected so much by loud music played by my neighbours.

Although,despite music being considered a calming factor after having a long day,it should be played at a low volume,to prevent distracting other tenants in the apartment.A possible solution I am suggesting is to have a meeting with the neighbours,to address the isssue and also, impact knowledge on them about not only the positive effects of music,but also the negative effects.

Yours sincerely,

Carolyne Jepchumba.
