Band 6+: 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 you to make a complaint because of my roommate.

Unfortunately, she is too loudly and goes to sleep too late. These are extremely disturbing for me. As a result of this, I can learn significantly more difficulty than previously, in the case of any of my ex-roommates. In addition, I cannot sleep really deeply and calmly due to the noise which she makes at the arriving. Due to these facts, I started to get worse marks. In other words, my results became worse.

Therefore, I would like to ask you to provide another room for me. Having a roommate is generally not a problem for me. I already lived in a room with other students previously, and until now, it have never caused any problem for me. So far, I could always make good friendships with my previous roommates. Although, I would prefer to have a one-person room in the college, if it is possible. If its price is a little higher, that is not a problem for me.

I would be grateful if you could address this problem in a short time.

I look forward to your replay.

Yours faithfully,

Susan Taylor
