Band 7+: Your neighbor's dog frequently barks at night, disturbing your sleep and that of other residents. Write a letter to your neighbor explaining the problem. You should include details about: - how the barking affects you and others - when the barking usually occurs - suggest possible solutions to the issue.

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am one of your neighbours, the owner of the yellow two-story house. I am writing this letter to discuss a problem that is related to your pet, Ben.

As a dog lover, I fully understand how energetic Ben can be as a well-nurtured husky, but the fact that he is always barking loudly at night is disturbing people living near your house. In my case, I often struggle with sleep deprivation because my shallow slumber keeps being interrupted by the loud noise. What’s more, it seems that other residents are also negatively affected by Ben’s barking, which disrupts their work, study, or relaxation during the evening.

Therefore, I wholeheartedly hope that you can soon find out how to fix Ben’s behaviour to avoid causing further troubles for your neighbours. Some potential solutions might be feeding Ben its favorite food or training it to be calmer. Although I can sympathize with your difficulties in having a pet, you had better come up with the solutions as soon as possible for the sake of local bond.

To sum up, with all respects, I believe that you would understand the current situation and begin to solve the concern caused by Ben. I look forward to some improvements in the near future.

Your sincerely,

Your neighbour.
