Band 7+: 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 neighbor,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am one of your neighbors who currently attends a nearby university as a student. My major is Finance and Accounting. I spend my days attending classes, and work part-time jobs in the evening to accommodate my daily needs. After finishing my evening job, I usually study at night to prepare for tomorrow’s study material, because as you may know, Finance and Accounting are one of the hardest majors you could study in a university.

I found that you own a cute little dog that could melt my heart upon seeing it, but unfortunately, your cute little dog has a bad habit of barking throughout the day and the night. I didn’t have any complaints about the barking during the daytime, since I am not at home and did not get bothered at all, but I am pretty bothered when your dog barks at night, especially at midnight, since nighttime is my only time to study and get a good sleep.

I was hoping that you could do something about the barking throughout the night, so that I could focus on my night study and get a good, silent sleep. You are also welcome to contact me if you want to discuss this matter further.

Thank you for your attention. I hope we could solve this matter smoothly.

Warm regards,

Gregorius Alvin
