I read in the newspaper that you are the architect who is to design the new supermarket in our suburb. I am writing to ask you to consider the matter of easy use of the supermarket by people in wheelchairs. In particular, I would like you to consider the following things:

1. Width of aisles. Can you please make sure that the aisles are wide enough to allow wheelchairs to pass through. In some supermarkets the aisles are so narrow that a person in a wheelchair can not move along them easily.

2. Height of shelves. Can you please design shelves that can be reached by people in wheelchairs. In some supermarkets people in wheelchairs have to ask other shoppers to help them. This takes away their independence.

3. Lifts to other floors. Lifts should be in places that people in wheelchairs can get to easily. It is very difficult if lifts are right at the back of the shop and people have to go up and down the shelves before they get to it.

4. Car parks. I hope you will leave some car spaces close to the front of the shop for people in wheelchairs. It is very difficult if they have to park a long way away from the shop and wheel themselves over rough ground to the entrance.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope you will consider my suggestions. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able-bodied people to shop independently and they should be able to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will admire your supermarket if you design it with good access for disabled people. The supermarket owners will also be happy as more people will be able to shop there. Yours sincerely, Julia

教学后记：

对爸爸的印象，从记事的时候，就有了，他留给我的印象就是沉默少言的，但是脸上却始终有微笑，不管家里遇到了什么样的困难，只要有爸爸在，一切都能够雨过天晴的，小时候，家里很穷，可是作为孩子的我们（我和哥哥），却很幸福。爸爸从来不会因为缺钱，而让我们感觉得些许的拮据和紧张，哪怕的低三下气的问人借钱，爸爸都会按时给我们交了学费，从来都不会给我们兄妹俩拖欠学费。爸爸闲下来的时候，就会给我和哥哥讲他们生活的那个年代，很苦很累，还经历过自然灾害，穷的时候，连饭都吃不饱。在我的印象里，最深的一件事情就是过年的时候，不管这一年钱赚的多还是少，爸爸总会让妈妈带着我和哥哥去买新衣服，当然了，妈妈也必须买新的，唯有爸爸，他是家里面唯一一个可以穿旧衣服过新年的人，这就是我关于爸爸的儿时的印象，他爱家人，从来不肯委屈自己的妻子和孩子。成长岁月里的爸爸在我们渐渐成长的的岁月里，作为孩子，我们都有了自己的认知和想法，青春期的叛逆，我们也给爸爸惹了不少祸，但是，不管我们闯的祸有多大，最后都是爸爸出面，来摆平解决一切。在这个渐渐懂事的过程中，爸爸扮演着一位良师的角色，事情过后，爸爸也会趁机好好的教育我们，让我们懂得，我们做的是对的，值得鼓励的，还是不对的，今后需要去改正的。爸爸在社会上经历的多了，懂得的道理也比我们多很多。我们是在跌跌撞撞的认知中去探索这个社会，而爸爸就是这条探索道路的指明灯！在我们长大的青春光阴里，我们在爸爸身上看到了责任、懂得了承担的重要性！爸爸，在我们的生活中，必不可少，他让我们（大哥和我）拥有了正确的人生观和价值观，他教会了我们如何看待这个世界，如何去更好的创造自己想要的生活！渐渐上了年纪的爸爸：我只想用“渐渐上了年纪”来形容现在的爸爸，不想要用已经“老去”来形容爸爸。没错，岁月是真的很无情的，不知不觉间，爸爸的眼角多了些许的皱纹，额头的皱纹也不自觉的来向他报到了，爸爸再伟大，也终究抵不过岁月的蹉跎。两角鬓白的爸爸，让我们看着多了很多的心疼，一向雷厉风行、无所不能的爸爸，渐渐地，变得老了，特别是当我们都成家以后，爸爸也算是把他一生最重要的任务也都完成了，上了年纪的爸爸，更多的心思，留在了妈妈的身上，一路走来，是妈妈的陪伴和默默的奉献，才让爸爸能够在外工作的时候，毫无杂念！妈妈，就是爸爸最为坚强的后盾，而我们，是爸爸努力奋斗的最大动力，如今，爸爸渐渐地老了，作为儿女，我们无法让时光倒流，能做的就是多陪伴他们，让他们的晚年生活能够幸福！爸爸的一生，都在付出，为了家和家人而付出，如今的我们，都已经成家，更加体会到了为人父母的心酸苦楚，我们能做的就是常回家看看！让父母不感到孤独！ 我们都是母亲身上掉下来的一块肉，我们跟母亲之间的关系，血浓于水，彼此间的那种爱，是神圣而又不可侵犯的，是妈妈给了我们生命，也是妈妈无怨无悔的把我们抚养成人，在我们成长的过程中，不管是好还是不好，妈妈都一味的去包容，去引领着我们我和妈妈的温情小生活，母爱，总是那么的伟大！都说慈母多败儿，其实啊，母亲在我们的生活着，扮演着不可或缺的角色，没有母亲的无私奉献，又怎会有我们的今天呢？更多的时候，是我们忽略了母亲的重要性，甚至是把母亲对我们的关心和爱护变成了理所当然！其实啊，也是因为我们从出生的时候，就拥有了母亲的爱，也就变得不那么的珍惜了！我觉得，我们生活在这个世上，更要好好地对待我们的母亲，在我的记忆深处，母亲总是很慈祥的，她也有属于她自己的小忧愁，但是，却从来都不会让我们知道，不管生活中，遇到了什么困难或者坎坷，她总是自己一个人想办法面对和解决！以至于曾经的我一直觉得母亲是万能的，没有什么困难事情是母亲不能解决的！儿时记忆中，最深刻的一件事情就是那年的的大冬天，下了很厚很厚的雪，我跟哥哥上学的地方是需要骑着自行车去的，妈妈早早的叫醒了我和哥哥，并且告诉我们下大雪了，路上滑，要早点出发，路上慢一点走，当我们吃了早饭准备出发的时候，妈妈也跟着一起出发了。大冬天的，天黑黑的，母亲拿着手电筒，给我和哥哥照明，因为下了雪，有的路段不好走，我们就推着自行车，一路上有说有笑的，时不时的哥哥还会调皮一下，就这样，母亲拿着照明灯，一路护送我和哥哥到了学校，现在回想起来曾经的岁月，满满的回忆，满满的温暖！不知不觉间，我们就都长大了，哥哥也成家了，有自己的孩子，妈妈看着我们生活幸福，她也就是开心满足了，可是，岁月却是那么的无情，不知不觉间，妈妈的眼角就多了些许的皱纹，她在岁月的淘洗中，渐渐地老去了！她没有多么伟大的理想，唯一的希望，就是我们都能够生活的健康，平安，快乐，幸福！母亲，从来都不曾奢望我们能够有多么大的丰功伟绩，最大的心愿就是我们平安快乐，她的一生心血，都在我们这些孩子身上，而对于她自己，似乎总是少了很多的关心，作为儿女，长大后的忙碌，确实忽略了对母亲的爱，当我们真正的意识到母亲老去的时候，岁月一晃已经过去了几十年！母爱，虽然平凡，但是却很伟大，我跟妈妈的温情小生活，那些记忆中的点滴，一直萦绕在脑海中，让我感受到幸福，感受到温暖！爱你，亲爱的妈妈，愿你生活幸福，健康平安！其实也就是平凡的一年，和往常相比较，也没有太多的区别，唯一的不同就是自己就业了，不再是学生了，也不再是那个向父母伸手就要钱的小姑娘了！步入社会的自己，很开心，同时也很紧张，毕竟社会才是一个真正的大染缸，才能让一个人真正的成长和坚强！父母的爱，平凡中渗透着伟大，这一年，感恩父母！在初入社会的这一年里，是要感恩很多的朋友同事领导，但是，我最想要感恩的两个人，其实就是我的爸爸妈妈！也许，你会觉得很奇怪，步入社会，经历的很多人或事，不应该都是单位或者工作吗？怎么会是要感恩父母呢？没错，我最最想要感恩的就是我们爸爸和妈妈！为什么呢？且听我慢慢道来！每一年的母亲节和父亲节，都只有一天，我想先和大家分享一下父亲节发生的小故事，虽然很平凡，很普通，但是我的心确实五味杂陈暖暖的！这一年的自己，已经参加了工作，也有了自己的收入，虽然工资不是很高，但事多多少少还是有些结余的，父亲节到了，那天早上一醒来，我就给父亲微信上发了红包，金额不多，也就只有100元的红包，这一天，我一直在等待着父亲领红包！可是，等啊等啊等啊，眼看着24小时就要过去了，可是父亲还是没有领取红包，难道是忙碌着，一直没有看到吗？或者是信息太多，被挤下去了，于是，我就告诉了妈妈，让妈妈去提醒父亲，记得领取父亲节的红包。当我和妈妈说了以后，妈妈却告诉我说：你爸爸说了，他还能赚下钱，不差钱，他没有理由领取你的钱，你在外工作也不容易，留着让你自己花了，！听了妈妈的话，我的心，那一刻的感觉，真的时候无法形容的，于是，我就告诉妈妈，说也就只有100块，不多，我也不缺这100，多少一点心意，就领取了吧，我再三提醒让领取，可是，最后的结果是，红包退还了回来，这就是父亲，他不过是一个平凡的农民，对于孩子给予的，他却觉得孩子出门在外不容易，不愿意花孩子的钱！事情虽然很小，但是，却真的触动了我的心，也激发了我更要好好的工作，努力赚钱，以后给予父母更好的生活！记得还有一次是我小学的朋友要结婚了，因为处的不是很好，很一般，礼钱也就200元，当天我也没回去，于是，就让妈妈去上礼了！不过，我前一天就给妈妈发了红包，可是妈妈愣是没有领取，非说是要给就等你回来了的吧，其实啊，我知道，妈妈的意思就是要让我常回家看看！爸爸和妈妈都在用他们的觉得对的方式，爱着自己的孩子，在他们的眼中，孩子永远是长不大的。平凡的小事情，渗透着浓浓的爱意，或许，这个世界上还有很多很多向我父母一样的家长，他们不愿索取孩子们的金钱，只愿孩子们能够健借此机会，也借此平台，感恩亲爱的爸妈，希望爸爸妈妈身体健康，幸福快乐！爸爸妈妈，我爱你们！
