Dear Lucy,
Learning in WeChat that you had a quarrel/argument with your roommate because she liked to throw things around, which you are very upset about, I am writing to share with you some advice on this matter.【高分句型一】(了解的情况)
In my opinion, it is useless quarrelling with your roommate, which can only make things worse. 【高分句型二】Instead,you had better talk with her face to face, making her realize throwing things around can get the room messy.ln addition, keeping our room tidy and clean is a good habit, which can be beneficial to our health and life.(看法和建议)
Hope my suggestions are helpful to you.(表达希望)
Yours, LiHua
