Question

Dear editor,

  I'm writing to you to say something about the noise in my neighborhood. I've lived in this city for years. It used to be very 1 here. But now I have found that everyone and everything is loud. Loud dogs,loud music early in the morning and at one,parties all the time …I don't 2 the last time I had peace of mind. It's so loud that I have to take sleeping pills to  3  Not sure what to do anymore. It 4 me very stressed out (心力交摔)and hopeless. One time I tried to complain to a neighbor 5 their noise and they threatened (威脅)me. The police don't do anything to help at all. There's nothing I can do to get out of this  6 .

  I don't think that we should just 7 noise  pollution.  Now  I  make  sure  that the people that I talk to understand the importance of reducing (減少)noise pollution.  I can't do  8  right now but I do what I can. People need to work together to  9  noise pollution. Of course it will not change over one night,but 10 we can make the noise levels lower in our communities. If you are not part of the solution (解決辦法)then you are part of the problem.

                      Yours,Simon
