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 hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding my current living situation in college and to request a change in accommodation for the upcoming term.

Over the past two months, I have encountered significant difficulties while sharing a room with my current roommate. Initially, they began using my personal belongings without my consent, which I found quite distressing. Additionally, when I addressed the issue of our shared responsibilities, I was met with hostility and verbal profanities. The disturbances have not been limited to our room; my roommate has also been hosting loud parties late into the night, affecting not just my ability to concentrate but also the peace of our neighboring residents.

These ongoing issues have severely disrupted my academic schedule, making it increasingly challenging to focus on my studies. Given the importance of maintaining a conducive environment for learning, I believe that a change in my housing arrangement is essential. Ideally, I would prefer to have solo accommodation for the next term, as I believe this would provide the peace and focus I need to succeed in my studies.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ
