Dear Miss Cheng ， enough sleep at night I’m sorry that I did poorly in the mid-term examination. That’s because I often couldn’t focus my attention in class and missed many key points of knowledge. I often felt sleepy and even fell asleep in class, because I didn’t get enough sleep at night ． And I have to complain about the noise in my dorm during the time for sleep. The dorm supervisor did warn us not to break the sleeping rules but it didn’t work. My roommates often kept chatting, playing with their mobile phones and doing something else secretly till midnight. My roommates all couldn’t sleep soundly, and as a result, we are falling behind in study, which really upsets us as well as our parents. Please help us out of the problems with your advice! Thanks! Best regards! Yours, Tom
