Đề 5: Thư khiếu nại
Đề bài: Write an email to the management of your apartment building to complain about noise from construction work. Describe the problem, its impact on residents and suggest a solution.
Bài mẫu:
Dear Building Management,
I am writing to express my concern about the excessive noise caused by the ongoing construction work on the 12th floor.
For the past two weeks, drilling and hammering have been taking place from early morning until late evening, causing significant disturbance to residents. Many of us work from home and find it impossible to concentrate. Several families with young children have also reported sleep disruption.
I would like to request that construction hours be limited to 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM on weekdays only. This would allow residents to have quiet evenings and weekends.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Vo Thanh
