1For the past few weeks, my upstairs neighbour has been playing loud music late at night.

2At first I tried to ignore it, but the noise made it impossible to sleep.

3I knocked on his door twice, yet nobody ever answered me.

4So yesterday evening I wrote him a polite note and left it under his door.

5In the note, I explained that I have to wake up early for work.

6This morning he knocked on my door and apologised for the loud music.

7He said he had no idea the sound travelled through the ceiling so easily.

8We agreed that he would use headphones after ten o'clock in the evening.

9He even offered to help me carry my heavy shopping bags upstairs.

10Now we wave to each other whenever we meet in the hallway.

11I am glad I stayed calm instead of starting an argument with him.
