Dear Sir,I am writing to state my dissatisfaction and problems about the current accommodation I have at college. Therefore, I would like to request you to arrange me a new room from the next session.
Although my current room is nice and wide with attached bathroom and other facilities are pretty good, I am not satisfied with my roommate because of his immature attitude and carelessness towards cleaning and maintenance of the room. Moreover, he has a big social circle and invites lots of friends to the room on regular basis. They would like to do talk loudly, dancing, singing, even sometimes drinking which really ruin my personal life and often disturb me in preparing for exams. Last but not least, he has a tendency to use my personal belongings without taking into consideration of my permission. In the last few months, I have lost some of my valuables from the room and I am not sure who should I blame!
Thus, I would wish to have a single room, so that I can have freedom of work and relax according to my own will. In addition to this, I would be able to concentrate more on my studies in the absence of any interference. I hope you would be kind enough to understand my severer issues related to my roommate and would arrange me a new room from the next term.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
David
Direction: As if you are the person in charge of arranging accommodation for students, read the letter and give a suitable response.
Dear David,
I sympathize with your dissatisfaction with your roommate and I also thank you for your information about your roommate
As I know, your roommate is a new student at our college. Many new students are often unfamiliar with collective life. Therefore, they can make other students discontent, particularly for former's. If I were you, I would talk honestly with him on the issues with which you are not satisfied. Then he will possibly change his life style, so that you both will understand and respect each other.
Actually, at present, our dormitory still has two rooms.If you do not like it here, you can move room at the end of this month. However, there is no single room anymore and you must share a room with someone else. But you do not worry. The roommate you will live with is a good student. He studies hard. He is one of the best students who was rewarded one of by the college for good achievements in the last semester. Therefore, I hope you and your future roommate can get on well with and support each other in study.
As a person in charge of the accommodation, tomorrow, I will meet your roommate and talk with him about your complaint to help him recognize his fault and avoid disturbing you. If he still does not change his habits, I will force him to move out of the dormitory. I hope it will be of benefit to you and others.
Finally, wish you would get along well with new your roommate. Besides, I hope that you will do well in your exams next term. If you would like any further information about this, you can come to my office or email: leetran@abccollege.com
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Lee Tran
