Writing to a neighbour about noise

Your upstairs neighbour has been playing loud music late at night for the past two weeks. You have not met them yet, but you would like to solve this politely.

Write to: Your upstairs neighbour · Semi-formal tone

Write an email to your neighbour about the noise.

Write an email of 150-200 words. Read the situation, then write to the person named. Cover every required point, keep the tone appropriate, and organise your email into short paragraphs. You have 27 minutes for both writing tasks in the real test; aim for about 15 minutes here.

You must include

  • • Introduce yourself
  • • Describe the problem and when it happens
  • • Explain why it is difficult for you
  • • Suggest a friendly solution
