A Petition Letter
July 7, 2010
Dear Madam,
I am writing to inform you that I wish to move into a new room next semester. I would prefer a single room、as I find the present arrangement inconvenient.
I must explain the reasons for my dissatisfaction is my roommates’ inconsiderate behavior. For one thing, their friends are constantly visiting them and they regularly hold noisy parties. For another, they sometimes use my things without asking permission. Under these circumstances』I find it difficult to concentrate on my studies.
I am sure you will agree that the only solution for me is to move into a room of my own, where I will be free from such distractions. Therefore, I would begrate if you could findasingleroomjorme,_preferablynotinjthe same.bui^ling.but.stilloncamfius.
Sincerely Yours Li Ming

親愛的女士：
我寫信是為了向您匯報(bào)，我下學(xué)期希望搬入新寢室。我更喜歡住單 間，因?yàn)槲野l(fā)現(xiàn)目前的安排十分不便。
我有必要解釋一下，我的不滿是由于室友們不考慮他人感受的行為。 一方面，他們的朋友經(jīng)常來訪，而且隔段時(shí)間就會舉辦喧嘩的派對。另 一方面，他們時(shí)常未經(jīng)允許就使用我的東西。在這樣的條件下，我發(fā)現(xiàn) 很難集中精力學(xué)習(xí)。
我確信您也會認(rèn)同，對我而言唯一的解決方案就是自己住單間，在 那兒我不會受到任何侵?jǐn)_。因此，如果您能為我找一個(gè)小單間，房間最 好還是在校內(nèi)但不是同一棟樓，我將感激不盡。
