2、stown cinema. I hope you will not mind me writing to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things：1 Adequate access for wheelchairs. It would be handy to have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lif
3、ts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have to use the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers.2 Earphon

7、 U陪伴rather than而不是致建筑师的一封信桑德斯女士艾丽斯梅杰总建筑师剑桥街64号影院设计公司班克斯敦希尔街44号班克斯敦200_年9月24日亲爱的桑德斯女士：今天我从报纸上了解到，您将成为班克斯敦新电影院的建筑设计师。我希望您不介意我写信询问您是否已考虑到残疾顾客的需要。尤其是以下几点不知您是否考虑到了：1为乘坐轮椅的人进入(电影院)提供充分的便利。影院内的各个部分都安装电梯就会很方便。电梯的按钮应当让乘坐轮椅的人容易够到，电梯门应足够宽以方便进入。在有些电影院里，(残疾人专用)电梯设在影院背后阴冷而不显眼的地方。由于残疾人必须要使用这些电梯，这就使残疾人感到比别的观众低一等。2给
8、听力有障碍的人提供耳机。所有座位的旁边都装有耳机，而不是少数几个座位，那会有帮助。这样可以使那些听力有缺陷的观众和他们听力正常的朋友坐在一起，而不是让他们坐在一个特定的区域。3 Raised seating. People who are short cannot always see the screen. So Id like to suggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front so that everyone can see the screen easily. Perhaps th
9、ere could be a space at the end of each row for people in wheelchairs to sit next to their friends.4 Toilets. For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from wh
10、ere the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards， disabled customers would be very happy.5 Car parking. Of course, there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers. If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit， it is easier for disabled people to

13、还得专门为残疾司机和老年司机安排停车场。如果这些停车场离影院出入口或出口都很近，残疾人就会很轻松地到达影院。Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as ablebodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity. I am sure many people will praise your cin
14、ema if you design it with good access for disabled people.
