In the past few weeks, in particular, the situation has really got out of hand. I believe it is time a solution was found so that those of us unfortunate enough to live near the stadium can once again live in peace.,9,3 The latest in a long list of unacceptable incidents involved a rock star’s concert last Friday. The problems began with the preparation for the show, which took place throughout the day on Friday. The stadium’s speakers were tested by blasting out unconnected bits of music at high volume. This was accompanied by the banging of hammers as workers set up the stage decorations and equipment.,10,4 Then, when the show began at 8 pm, the noise became so loud that there was no point in even trying to watch television or talk on the telephone. The music was so loud that it sounded like thunder. This noise continued without interruption until after 11 pm.,11,5 And finally, as if we had not yet had enough, we had one more problem to deal with. A large crowd of fans stayed outside the stadium after the show, waiting to have a closer look at the rock star. And, as one might expect with a crowd of young people, they made a lot of noise in doing so.,12,6 There has been a lot of talk about possible solutions to this serious problem: there have been noise studies, discussions about restricting hours and days for concerts, and so on. However, so far nothing has been done. I believe that the only realistic solution is to ban concerts from the stadium completely so that the problem will be solved once and for all. Yours sincerely, Simon Lewis,13,While-reading Questions,Who is Simon Lewis ? What is he complaining about ? How does he think the situation is ?
