Band 9: You live in a room in college that you share with another student, but there are many problems with this arrangement and you find it very difficult to work. Write a letter to the accommodation officer at the college. In your letter: Describe the situation. Explain your problems and why it is difficult to work. Say what kind of accommodation you would prefer. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

Dear Madam,

I am writing to explain the difficulties I am experiencing with my current room, which I share with another student, and to request a change in accommodation.

At the moment, I am living in Room 214 with a first-year student. Unfortunately, the environment has become quite challenging. My roommate frequently invites friends over late at night, which creates a lot of noise. She also enjoys playing loud music in the evenings, making the room very distracting.

Because of this, it has become extremely difficult for me to focus on my studies. I am in my final year and have several deadlines approaching, so I need a quiet space where I can concentrate. Despite discussing the issue with her several times, the situation has not improved.

If possible, I would prefer to move to a single room or to a quieter shared room with someone who has a similar study schedule. I believe this change would help me improve my academic performance and reduce unnecessary stress.

Thank you for your understanding. I would be grateful if you could consider my request.

Yours faithfully,

Olha Koval
