Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the plan which intents to expand the local airport and increase the number of flights. I have been living in West River for several years. My house is located within 20 minutes' drive from the airport. Let’s take a hard critical look at the current environment and the plan, to identify precisely what negative impact to the residential area will be brought if the plan is carried out.
The residents have already been seriously affected by the noise of the airplanes. Children distracted by the noise could not concentrate on their homework. Additionally, old people cannot get good rest when there are night flights. I dare not to imagine how serious it will be if there were more disturbing flights. Moreover, expanding the airport will inevitably occupy more plot of land.
I strongly protest this inconsiderable decision of the government. I hope the government can wisely discard this short-sighted development plan. I would appreciate it if you can forward this letter to the department concerned.
Yours Sincerely,
Joe Jones
总体结构安排合理，具体的我就一句一句的细批了。"Let’s take a hard critical look at your letter."原文：I am writing to complain about the plan which intents to expand the local airport and increase the number of flights. 1.“complain” 通常是针对已发生事件，比如现有的噪音问题。而这里机场扩建还只是计划，尚未产生任何损害。因此建议改为“protest”2.“intent to”之前通常是人或是一个有思想有主观意志的组织，而“the plan”是一个固定的没有意志
