part 3 (paragraph 7):the advantages of designing the cinema with good access for disabled people
2.scanning
(1) list the suggestions the writer put forward.
①there should be adequate access for wheelchairs.
②it would help to fit sets of earphones to all seats,not just to some of them.
③the seats at the back should be placed higher than those at the front.
④for disabled customers,it would be more convenient to place the toilets near the entrance to the cinema.
⑤there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers.
(2) why do you think the writer numbered her suggestions and used italics?
(the writer has used numbers and a title in italics for each paragraph to organize the ideas and to make it easier for the reader to understand and remember the five suggestions.)
(3)besides using numbers and italics,what other ways can we use to make the things you say clear?
(we can use first,second,third...finally/at last/last but not least.)
(4)why should the architect consider the writer's suggestions?
(disabled people should have the same opportunities as healthy people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity.good access for disabled customers will help make the cinema successful.)
(5)the writer uses polite forms in the letter;do you know why?
(polite forms are used to encourage the reader to take the ideas seriously.)
(6)underline the examples of the polite forms in the letter.

dear mr smith,
i am writing to suggest that you consider the following things when you design the supermarket.
