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 Sir or Madam,

I am writing with regard to room 506, which I have been sharing with another classmate since last summer. Sadly, it has been very hard to manage my residency in this room due to two main issues.

Firstly, it is impossible to concentrate because of the constant loud noise that my next-door neighbours make every day. Despite my repeated requests for them to stay as quiet as possible, especially during the exam period, they keep playing music and partying every week.

Furthermore, although I already knew that this room was small, it turned out to be smaller than I expected. Therefore, I barely have space for my clothes and personal belongings.

Consequently, I would like to formally request a bigger single room in the main building, if possible. I am available to move out as early as next Monday.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Paz.
