READING COMPREHENSION
Read the text and choose the best answer A, B, C or D.
Dear Sir,
As one of your regular readers, I have always admired your policy of supporting the problems of the ordinary citizens of London. I hope, therefore, that you will find space to publish this letter. I live in a tower block in the East End of London, situated between two busy streets with a street marked along its third side. Naturally we suffer from traffic, noise, dirt and petrol fumes. However, behind us we have an open green space with shady trees which provides us with a quiet, pleasant place where we can enjoy our leisure hours. We are mostly pensioners and there are very few children on the estate.
Our local council recently proposed to make use of this site as a temporary play centre for about a hundred children. Although all the residents strongly protested against this plan, the council have totally ignored us and have already started uprooting our trees and grass, in spite of the fact that there is a disused school and playground within one hundred metres which would suit their purpose equally well. I should be glad to hear from other readers who have had similar problems and might be able to advise us on what action we should now take.
P. Greene,
12 Gilmore Street, E1
