Final comments:
1) The format should be improved. See the paragraph with the dots.
Each idea should be on a separate line – introduced with an asterisk (*) or an arrow ()
2) The length of your Info Sheet is 405 words which is far beyond the word-limit of 260.

3) You ought to be careful with the register and you should be consistent with the formal to
neutral language, no colloquial English.
4) Vary the sentence structures: e.g.”Should you have a room- mate is a decision of your own
