Besides, I suggest you do more exercise in the future.Don't think the time spent on exercise is wasted. Exercise can improve your physical constitution and refresh the mind. After one or two hours of exercise you may find that you can study better.Sitting at your desk from morning 6 til night will do you no good.You should do at least one hour of exercise daily as on as you are recovered. Remember: good health will make our work time more productive and your free time more enjoyable.

Oct. 30,__ To whom it may concern,

I am a tenant of Room 311 in Building 5. I am writing to complain about our dorm management. First of all, the lights are not turned off at midnight. Students may have different work schedules but the no-lights-out disturbs the rhythm and routine of most students' lives. Secondly, strangers can go in and out freely without any inquiries and checks, so thefts occur from time to time. Thirdly, the noise insulation is poor and students,while reading or resting, are often disturbed by the noises from their neighbors.

The problems mentioned above seriously upset our work and study schedules. We would be very grateful if our requests could be respected.

Yours sincerely
