8、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 fr

9、ont so that everyone can see the screen easily. Perhaps there 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

10、only disabled toilet is in the basement a long way from where 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

13、人安排一个厕所，这种做法会给他们带来麻烦。如果厕所的门能设计成向外开，残疾人会很高兴。 5停车场。当然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 meetwith your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as ablebodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with d

14、ignity. I am sure many people will praise your cinema if you design it with good access for disabled people.
