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 to let you know that I am not happy with my current living condition. While the accommodation itself is really great, my roommate has become intolerable to live with which is making it impossible for me to focus on my work and studies. I hope that you will help me solve this situation favorably.

Let me explain my situation. The issue started three months ago when my roommate moved in. Prior to that, everything was fine; my old housemate was extremely considerate. My new roommate plays incessantly loud music and stays up almost all night and I am unable to sleep most nights. Hence, this has caused me to lose focus on my studies and taken a toll on my health as well.

Would you kindly be able to transfer me or my roommate to a different accommodation? I would definitely prefer to live with someone who is quieter and more considerate of others quiet time. As long as they are quiet as well, I don’t mind who it is I live with.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours Faithfully,

Nickita
