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

10. Our room is quite small for 2 people as we cannot use it efficiently. Both of us are struggling to study due to narrow tables and space.
However
, because of our midterms, my roommate has been inviting his classmates for reviewing course books which could take until midnight.
As a result
, I am not able to sleep properly since noise level and brightness do not let me get some rest. If you look at my scores, you will notice that I have not been performing as good enough as used to be. I would like to move the 1-bed room in your dormitory. Scheduling my daily routine independently without any disruption from other people would be healthy for me as well as beneficial for increasing my grades. I hope you can consider my letter and take the necessary steps to put me in a 1-person unit. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Structure your letter

A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:

  • A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
  • The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
  • A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)

When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.

All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
