Identical Twins Kathy and Sophie arrived at college last year and determined to strike out on independent paths，so they had requested rooms in different dorms.While Kathy got along with her roommate，Sophie was miserable.She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged.Finally，they divided the room in two and gave up on oral communication.During this time，Sophie kept seeking comfort from Kathy.Before long，the two wanted to live together again.Sophie's roommate eventually agreed to move out.
Sophie's ability to solve her dilemma by rooming with her identical twin is unusual，but the conflict she faced is not.Most roommate conflicts spring from such small，annoying differences rather than from grand disagreements over abstract principles.One person likes quiet，while the other person spends two hours a day practicing the trumpet.One eats only organically（有機(jī)地） produced vegetables and loves animals，while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting up frogs in biology class.
When personalities don't mix，the excitement of being away at college can quickly fade away.Moreover，roommates can affect each other's psychological health.A recent study reports that depression in college roommates is often passed from one person to another.
Many schools have started conflict resolution programs to calm tensions that otherwise can build up like a volcano preparing to explode，finally resulting in physical violence.Some colleges have resorted to "roommate contracts" that all new students fill out and sign after attending a lecture on roommate relations.Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room，including acceptable hours for study and sleep，a policy for use of each other's possessions.Some schools try to head off the feud before it begins by using computerized matching.Students are put together on the basis of their responses to housing form questions.

Dear Sir or Madame，
I am a middle school student.I am writing to express my dissatisfaction and disappointments about the unpleasant experience.
The reason of my dissatisfaction is about the quality of the books that I order on the Internet the other day.They are bestsellers by my favorite author.Unfortunate，when they arrived，quite a few pages were found missing and badly damaged，greatly affect my understanding of the books.In addition，the price is higher than it in our local bookstores.Under these circumstances，I wanted to exchange them for new ones or declare the refund.However，I haven't been received any reply up till now.I wonder that it is possible for you to suggest a solution.
I would appreciate if you could take my opinion into consideration.
Yours sincerely，
