Band 9: You live in a room in college which you share with another student. However, 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 the letter, describe the situation, explain your problems and why it is difficult to work and say what kind of accommodation you would prefer.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention the challenges I am facing with my current roommate in the college accommodation. While the living conditions of the apartment are satisfactory, I find it difficult to coexist harmoniously with her due to her disruptive behavior and lack of consideration for shared living spaces.

To elaborate on the situation, the primary issue stems from her social activities that disrupt the tranquility of our living environment. She frequently hosts gatherings in our apartment where loud music plays late into the night, disturbing my peace and affecting my ability to rest adequately for work. Moreover, these gatherings often result in a messy and unclean living space, further diminishing my comfort and productivity. Despite my attempts to address these concerns diplomatically, her behavior persists, significantly impacting my daily routine and work performance. Consequently, continuing to reside with her is untenable.

I kindly request your assistance in relocating either myself or my roommate to alternative accommodation. Ideally, I would prefer a new roommate who respects communal living standards and values a peaceful cohabitation environment. Resolving this issue promptly will ensure a conducive living arrangement where I can focus on my studies and professional responsibilities without disruptions.

Thank you for addressing this matter promptly.
