You are unhappy about a plan to make your local airport bigger and increase the number of flights. You live near the airport. Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter • explain where you live • describe the problem • give reasons why you do not want this development.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing this letter to explain that I am worried about expanding the U-tapao airport area and increasing flights a day. This project may have effects on local residents, especially, noise and reducing a community park. However, I would like to inform these problems in the local newspaper. My home is situated on fifty-eight street, opposite the old community market, and ten minutes walk to the airport. As you know that the government have a new project to develop the local airport which affects me and local residents such as noise pollution from lots of flights landing and taking off, including during building the airport have noise all day. I hear that this project will reduce the central park area where is the green area of people and some animals to expand the airport which is not appropriate because the central park is a relaxing area for local people. Consequently, I disagree with this project because it reduces the green area in the community, where are many people spend a lot of time exercising, communicating with neighbours. Moreover increasing the number of flights affect traffic and air pollution in our community. I hope the government or directors of the airport are aware of the problems that I mentioned above. Finally, I would be appreciated if you consider this article and publish these problems in the local newspaper. Yours faithfully Matita Choochat
