You have been living in a rented house for the last six months. Your neighbour has a new dog that makes a lot of noise at night, preventing you from sleeping. Write a letter to your neighbour. In your letter - describe the problem with the dog -explain why it is important for you to get enough sleep - suggest what your neighbour could do about the situation.

Dear Mr Kumar, I'm afraid I've got to complain about your dog, Tom. As much as I adore him, lately, he is keeping me up all night

due to

non-stop barking near the window of my bedroom which faces your lawn. Tom's barking starts around midnight and goes on for at least two hours. Owing to

this

, I'm unable to get good quality sleep as I'm a light sleeper. I thought the barking would stop within a day or two but it has been going for about three weeks now. I used to wake up at 6 am every day for work but because of the barking which keeps me up at night, I wake up at 7 am

instead

.

This

has led to me being late for work on multiple occasions. I would be most grateful if you could keep him inside for the next few days to see if he stops barking.

Moreover

, I suggest that you reduce or eliminate his nap time during the day and hopefully, he will sleep a lot earlier at night. I expect you to take my complaint into consideration and make changes. Yours sincerely, Akshita Parasher
