I'm Mary. I'm 28 years old and I'm still single. Recently,I moved into a new flat. I quickly discovered I had noisy neighbours―a young couple,who have parties at least twice a week with loud dance music that shakes my walls. I've asked them nicely to turn it down,which they do at once,but then it starts up again until dawn. They're only renting―what else can I do?
Vicki Do everything you can ―including keeping a disturbance ( T扰) diary,calling their landlord (房东) ,finding out how their flat is rented and checking if they are doing something against the contract (合同) .It's too an?noying for you,lying in bed while the beat goes on and on. Buy earplugs for yourself;you can also go to see a doctor if you're being kept from sleeping. If their landlord is actually a management company based in Toronto j everything will be very slow,but you'll have to make this into a task and keep on until you win.
Octavia If they're renting,you can complain to their landlord,who can usually have them out in two months (or six at most) . I've seen some friends who were evicted after holding just one loud party and had to find another place to live in. Most landlords will force them to leave. Failing in that,you can complain to the local council,who in my experience do very little and very slow?ly. So don't get your hopes high. Actually,I think the best thing is to keep putting pressure on them;every time they make loud noise,go and knock on their door. Sometimes people just need something to realize that they're beha?ving badly.

I. There was time women were not allowed to take part in the Olympic Games.
He is the one you can always turn to when you're in a fix. He knows when you're tired,upset or unwell. He is the companion who s always pleased to see you. Sound familiar? Only if you have a dog.
Although we're used to the old saying about man's best friend,the intimacy (密切) between an animal lover and his pet could run far deeper than we realized. In many cases,they are a companion we value even more than our spouse (配偶) . According to a study,about 45 per cent of British dog owners believe their pel knows when they are happy and sad and can sense when they are tired or unwell. Almost a third of those questioned say their dog is a much bet?ter listener than their spouse. 41 per cent of dog owners believe their pet love^ them more than thi'ir human friends,and 24 per cent say they would rather spend quality time with their dog than their spouse.
Perhaps there's a good reason for that. Unlike many people,pets can be reliei? on not to tell a secret,which could explain why almost one in ten of those surveyed admitted to trusting their dog with a secret that they would not dare to tell even their closest human friends.
Chris Laurence,who is veterinary director of the Dogs Trust,said, *'Dogs are always responsive (反应积极的) .If you walk up to a dog and touch it,it will surely pun. If you tickle your dog behind the ears,it will wag^ its tail. But humans aren't quite like that.” TV vet Emma Milne said,"The joy and companionship our dogs bring to our lives is unquestionable and it is no wonder that many consider them to be man's best friend."
