Band 8+: 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 while sharing a room with my current roommate at the university hostel. My name is Nuray Ismail, and I reside in apartment L-1001, which I share with another student. While my previous roommate was intelligent, sociable, and diligent in studies, my current roommate’s behavior is quite the opposite. He frequently hosts loud parties late into the night, which is disturbing my ability to focus on my studies. Unfortunately, due to the significant age gap and my roommate’s behavior, I find it challenging to address this issue directly with him.

As my semester finals are approaching, a peaceful environment is crucial for my preparation. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in either relocating me to a different room or finding a new roommate who values a quiet and conducive study environment. I am open to any type of accommodation as long as it offers a tranquil atmosphere that enables me to concentrate on my studies effectively.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Nuray Ismail
