Band 7+: You live in a block of flats; your neighbour makes a lot of noise which has caused problems for you. Write a letter to your landlord. In your letter, you should: • explain the situation • tell him/her how you are affected by this • suggest what you want the landlord to do.

Dear Joseph,

I hope you and your family are doing well. It’s been a while since I visited your home. I would probably travel to Boston next month. I will give you a call before coming. Let’s go out and have fun.

Recently, our family is going through a lot of noise pollution in my house. My neighbour’s wife and children are making so much noise, especially during night times. This is affecting our peace in many ways. Sometimes they make huge noise by fighting with their family members without considering the surroundings.

My daughter was preparing for her final exams, and her room is close to Stephen’s house. The noise that they are making is affecting her studies and sleep. The children’s are playing loud music on a loud speaker. My wife is also complaining that noise pollution is ruining her mental peace. We have been going through this since last November.

I had communicated this issue with my neighbour. But they don’t seem to be taking it seriously. This has been affecting my family, and we need peace around the house. Could you please take immediate action on this and inform Stephen’s family to reduce the noise?

Looking for a positive response from you!

Yours Lovingly,

Selvi R.
