Nightmare neighbours
I’ve lived in a rented flat for the last six months and until recently life has been very quiet and peaceful. But now a
new couple have moved in next door and they are making my life impossible. The main problem is that they have
parties during the week that go on all night. Sometimes their friends appear at their flat at two or three in the
morning and when I complain they just tell me to go away. My two children can’t sleep because of the noise, so I
don’t get enough sleep either. I was doing evening classes twice a week, but I’ve had to give them up because I’m
too tired to go. Now when I get home I just take off my coat, sit down in front of the TV and fall asleep – until the
party starts next door, of course. All this is making me very depressed and I just can’t tolerate the noise any longer.
I like living here and I have a good relationship with all my other neighbours, but these people are a nightmare. Do
you readers have any advice for me? Jane.

1. This article is about a woman who is writing to ask for a solution to her problem. T F
2. Jane’s problems began as soon as she moved into her flat. T F
3. She lives alone. T F
4. She has tried to talk to her difficult neighbours without success. T F
5. The parties take place every weekend. T F
