Ask a new neighbour about a barking dog
Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds
A new family moved in next door two months ago. Their dog barks for hours every weekday while they are at work. You work night shifts at a hospital and sleep during the day, so the noise keeps waking you up. You have not met your new neighbours in person yet.
Write an email to your new neighbour in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:
- Introduce yourself.
- Explain how the barking is affecting you.
- Suggest a solution that could work for both of you.
