I played football for my sixth-form school and I am hoping to join a university team. I'm a morning person and I get up early to train and go to the gym. So I would prefer to share with other people who don't like late nights either! Also I am vegetarian and, if possible, I would prefer to share a kitchen with other non-meat eaters.

Tips

  1. If the form is on paper, write clearly. Use capital letters if your handwriting isn't clear.
  2. If there is not much space to write, make a list instead of writing full sentences.
  3. Check it. It's easy to make small mistakes!

Hi Dawn,

Welcome to LearnEnglish! I'm afraid we don't correct users' writing on the site. I know it would be very useful but unfortunately we are a small team here and we have many thousands of users, so it's just not possible. We do try to answer all questions we get, however, and provide explanations where we can.

I like to share my room with non-talkative people. Because I want to live in a clean room, I don't want to share with careless people.

I don't mind sharing facilities and I'd like to request a shared room. I don't smoke, so I want non-smoking accommodation. I'm a morning person and get up early to do exercises. I don't stay up too late.

I would you like to share a house or flat with people equal in age, but with different hobbies, so that we can have opportunities for exchange.

I'll be happy to share a flat with people from different cultures or countries. Also, I'll be happier if they are smokers or at least don't mind if I smoke in the room.

would like to share a flat with people who like meeting people from different cultures. Also, I would like to have a flatmate non-smoking and someone that loves barbecue. About accommodation, I would prefer one private bathroom, away from university and sunny.
