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!

I usually wake up early morning every day. I don't smoke and I would prefer to share with a non-smoking person.

I like playing football, this is my passion, so I prefer to share my apartment with another one who is interested in football too. Also, I don't smoke, therefore, I prefer sharing facilities with people who are a non-smoking person. I would like to have a roommate who is a foreigner because I'm an English learner, so I want to practice English as much as possible.

Hi guys. I prefer to share facilities with other. I like to have many freinds with other culture and other personality. I think it's so funny:) I'm guitarist and it's so important that my flatmate to be a guitarist , because i practice allday long and it's a disaster for non musicians people. At the end i am applying for Concordia university for winter season and i am so excited :))))))

I’m single person, I played football for the team of my country and I am hoping to study English in the university. I’m a clean person and like to spend time to reading books. So I wouldn’t like to share with other people who like play rugby. I love the noodles and I usually make it.

Hello, Please could you correct my writing!! I prefer a single room off campus, because we spend a lot of time at university, so it is a little bit challenging if I live off campus. I don’t mind to share facilities, so we can try different kind of food. I am a non smoker, I hate smoke’s smell, I can’t even share facilities with smoking people. I like to go for a walk in nature and also I like to gather with my friends and have a drink once a week.

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.
