Hope you are well.
I heard that you are planning to stay for a month at the same Hall of Residence as me. you better choose another one. So far, it is  a nasty place where I have had to deal with a lot of problems.

My room was full of dust, and the bathroom was filthy too. I think they have dogs in the basement because I heard squealing sounds at night, and now it will give you the chills. The food is terrible. It´s the worst thing of all because I think they don´t pay atention to that kind of details.

So, I hope you take my advice. Choose the Hall of Residence that I recomend you on the link, all of my english friends say that it´s wonderful and clean. I hope you enjoy this experience and please give me some news about your family.

Hi, long time no see. I hope you and your family are well. I´m writing to you from the Hall of the Residence in Oxford. But it is more like a hostel than a residence. Everithing is terrible: the rooms where we sleep are very small for two people and there isn´t enough light to do my homework or study.Also, the rooms are very dirty, so it´s not comfortable. As well as that, I have a snoring flatmate.

You don´t know how difficult it is to sleep all night with him snoring. Sometimes it is really impossible to concentrate on something while he is sleeping. Another problem is that the drains in the shower are clogged. So, you have to have a very fast shower. Because if you don´t, water will floud the room.

My mum told me that next year you are coming here. So I want to give you  some advice. If you can, don´t choose to came to a Hall of Residence. The best thing you can do it is go to a host family. You will be more comfortable and your room will be cleaner.

I cant wait to see you. And please give me some news about you.

Hughs and kisses.

Hi Martin,
it wasa a long time without seeing you. I hope you are well. The other day, I heard that you wanted to come here at Oxford for finishing your studies. Well, if I tell you the truth, staying at this Hall of Residence is like having a raining weekend.
There aren't enough adjectives to describe the situation of being here. A word of warning, don't come.
First of all, this awful place is very small and has no day natural light at all. But this place has some other big problems. I have to share my room with a complete snoring person. I haven't slept for three days because of the sounds he makes . I hope you will take my advice into account because you were always the wise one . Please stay with a host family or you will regret it!
Speak to you soon,
Brais
