Band 6+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. 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 study/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 study/work say what kind of accommodation you would prefer You should write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to inform you about the difficulties I am facing while living with my roommate.

I am studying Master of Teaching and I am staying in room number 101 with another student named as Sam. His timings of studying are very different to me making it difficult to adjust.

Sam prefers to study at nighttime which makes a lot of noises and makes it very hard for me to sleep. My performance in the last few months have drastically decreased as I cannot focus at all in my lectures because I rarely sleep well at night. Sometimes, he listens to music on the speaker which he recently bought and that too when it’s time for me to go to the bed.

As my exams are just around the corner, I request you to change my shared accommodation to a private one where I can focus on my studies and sleep so that I can perform better in my final semester. I am happy to pay the difference in fees if you can organize that from the 1st of the next month.

Yours Faithfully,

Mark Grey
