Examiner comment
Band 7
The answer is well-written and contains some good
arguments. It does tend to repeat these arguments but the
writers point of view remains clear throughout. The message
is easy to follow and ideas are arranged well with good use of
cohesive devices.
There are minor problems with coherence and at times the
expression is clumsy and imprecise. There is a wide range of
structures that are well handled with only small problems in
the use of vocabulary, mainly in the areas of spelling and word
choice.

Dear Sir or Madam
Request to change room
I am writing to ask if I could please be given another room in college.
At present I share a room with another student who, unfortunately, is very noisy. This makes it very difficult for me to study. I have
asked this student on many occasions to let me work quietly but there has been no change. He plays his radio or watches TV
constantly and often invites friends round for parties which last till late in the night.
I have tried working in the library but it is not open at all the times I need. I am very worried about this situation, as I have to
finish my final year project this term and have my final exams coming up at the end of the year.
I would be most grateful if you could please give me a room by myself or a room sharing with a student who is quiet.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your help.
Yours faithfully
Jan Hutt
