Band 8+: 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 Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my current roommate. As you know, we share a room, and I find it increasingly difficult to study there.

She frequently has friends over and hosts parties in our room. The noise is overwhelming, and they often play the radio at a very loud volume. As a student, I need a quiet environment to focus on my studies. Additionally, it is quite impolite that she borrows my belongings without asking.

I kindly request a room change for the next term. I have talked to her multiple times about having parties elsewhere, but unfortunately, the situation has not improved. I feel that I cannot continue to live in the same room as her.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could accommodate my request for a single room.

Yours faithfully,

Catherine
