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 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 work • say what kind of accommodation you would prefer

Dear Sir or Madam I would like to bring

this

problem to your immediate attention. I have been living in a shared

room

for two months. My roommate recently returned from his holiday and has been acting strangely. He refuses to cooperate with me and doesn’t clean the

room

. I am in the final year of my bachelor’s program and I have to study a lot. My roommate likes to watch

television all the time and he keeps the volume high.

This

disturbs me and

hence

I cannot prepare well for my examination. I have time and again asked him to reduce the volume, but he doesn’t listen to me. My roommate

also

doesn’t like to clean the

room

. I have prepared a cleaning routine, but he does not stick to it. He always leaves his rubbish on the table that he shares with me.

In addition

, sometimes he forgets to put the leftover food in the garbage bin. Because of these reasons, the

room

smells bad. On some days, especially at midnights, he uses his mobile phone and speaks loudly with his friends.

This

disturbs my sleep and makes it impossible for me to concentrate on my studies the

next

day. I really want to move out of

this

room

as soon as possible. I believe that it will benefit both parties. I am looking for a single

room

with kitchen and bathroom facilities. It would be really helpful if you could arrange one near my campus. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your time and support. Yours sincerely Rahul
