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 and Mrs Hagel, Hope

this

letter finds you in good health and spirit. I am sorry that it has come to

this

, but I had no other choice but to write

this

letter to you. In fact, we have a situation with your

dog

here which keeps barking at night just when I try hard to go to sleep after a long and tiring day at work. Now, please don’t get me wrong as I really have nothing against dogs. In fact, I like spending time with a good and friendly

dog

. But, as for your

dog

, I am having a hard time dealing with the noise made by it. By the way, it is really important for me to have a good sleep because if I don’t, it becomes difficult for me to perform well at the hospital where I have to treat elderly people. So, I think, I have got my point across. So, I would like to request you

to

spend some more time with the

dog

and train him better, or alternatively, take him to a pet hospital to do something about his abrupt barking at night. But, if that doesn’t work, please try to take it to another room so that I can take some sleep at night. Yours sincerely, Freddie John
