Band 9: Your next door neighbour owns a small dog that barks throughout the day and the night. Write a letter to your neighbour requesting that something be done about the dog. Include in your letter: Your reason for writing What you would like to happen A nice, respectful style.

Dear John,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to let you know about an issue I have been experiencing recently concerning your dog.

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that your dog has been barking continuously, both during the day and late at night. While I completely understand that dogs can be noisy at times, the frequent barking has made it quite difficult for me and my family to rest, especially during the night when we are trying to sleep.

I would really appreciate it if you could look into this matter. Perhaps you could try bringing the dog indoors at night or consider some training to help reduce the barking. I am sure that with a small change, things will be much more comfortable for both of us.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation. I truly value being your neighbour and look forward to resolving this matter in a friendly way.

Best regards,

Tri
