第十篇 A Letter from Alan

　　I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax — the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.

　　I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere. The roads will always be full of traffic, there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

　　No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But, in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this, we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

　　I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

　　第十篇 艾倫的來信

　　我聽說了一個要在叫Parson 公園上建造三百所房子的計劃。沒有幾個人知道這個打算將我們的城鎮(zhèn)擴大的計劃。對我來說，Parson 公園是非常特別的，因為它是一個美麗的天然公園，當地人可以在此放松休息。這片小樹林里有許多獨特的樹木并且這里的小溪受到了漁夫和野鳥觀察者的歡迎。這里很安靜因為附近只有幾所房子和幾條公路。我認為失去這片公園會很糟糕，因為在這附近我們沒有其他與其相似的公園了。

　　我反對這項計劃也是因為它將會引起交通問題。住在新房子的人們將如何去工作呢?高速公路和地鐵站在城鎮(zhèn)的另一端。因此，這些人每次出行的時候將不得不驅車穿越城鎮(zhèn)中心。公路上將總是有很多車輛，沒有地方停車，并且來參觀我們這兒可愛的老式建筑物的觀光者將會離開這里。商店和旅館將賠錢。如果這個城鎮(zhèn)真的需要更多的房子，那片在地鐵站附近的空地是一個更合適的地方。

　　毫無疑問，通過出售這些房子建筑商們會賺很多錢。但是，在我看來，每個人將會因這個計劃的實施而快速地變窮。不但如此，我們將失去一個非常特別的地方，并且我們的城鎮(zhèn)將會失去很多快樂。

　　我將在周一早上到當地政府辦公室抗議這項計劃，并且我希望你們這些讀者將會和我一起去那里。我們必須讓他們停止這項計劃，否則就來不及了。
