A sample letter Dear Mr Smith, 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 if you have considered the matter of ea
23、sy use of the supermarket by people in wheelchairs. In particular, I wonder if you have considered 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
24、 wheelchair cannot 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 shoopers to help them. This takes away their independence. 3. Lifts to other floors. Lifts could b
25、e in a 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 wheelchair
26、s. It is very difficult if they have to park a long way away from the shop and wheel themselves over tough 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
27、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.
