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.
【译文赏析】 请愿书
亲爱的女士：
我写信是为了向您汇报，我下学期希望搬入新寝室。我更喜欢住单 间，因为我发现目前的安排十分不便。
我有必要解释一下，我的不满是由于室友们不考虑他人感受的行为。 一方面，他们的朋友经常来访，而且隔段时间就会举办喧哗的派对。另 一方面，他们时常未经允许就使用我的东西。在这样的条件下，我发现 很难集中精力学习。
我确信您也会认同，对我而言唯一的解决方案就是自己住单间，在 那儿我不会受到任何侵扰。因此，如果您能为我找一个小单间，房间最 好还是在校内但不是同一栋楼，我将感激不尽。
