To: Mrs.Ramirez
From: Victor
Subject: Problems in apartment

Dear Mrs. Ramirez,
There are many problems in my apartment. A few things don’t work in my bathroom. If you turn off the sink[sɪŋk]洗碗池, it leaks[liːks]泄露. I’m wasting[ˈweɪstɪŋ]浪费 a lot of water! The toilet broke yesterday. If you push the handle down, It doesn’t flush. I’m using my neighbor’s barthroom now and want someone to fix the sink and toilet SOON. There are also problems in the kitchen. When you open the refrigerator 冰箱
[rɪˈfrɪdʒəreɪtər] door, it doesn’t close. I have an amchair in front of it now. Also，the lock on the front door to the building doesn’t work.
If you don’t close the door tightly [ˈtaɪtli] 紧紧地，牢固地, it doesn’t shut[ʃʌt]关闭. Many people don’t realize[ˈriːəlaɪz]意识到 this, and the door is often open when I get home. This is dangerous! Please fix these problems soon!
Thank you,
Victor Simons
Apartment 42B

Thank you for telling me about the problem with the front door to the building. That is dangerous! Ms. Tyson, the locksmith[ˈlɑːksmɪθ]钳工，修锁人 who works in the building, is going to fix the lock on Monday morning. I put a sign[saɪn] 指示牌 on the door for people to close it tightly until then.

Thanks again,
Elsa Ramirez
