An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school. Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way. The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

The case of the girl shows the barrier-free(障碍物) facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well. There's no well-designed path for the blind. In fact. in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier-free facilities for disabled people. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier-free facilities are badly destroyed（毁坏）. Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

Some ideas can make a difference — build more barrier-free facilities, employ(雇用) more of workers and require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It’s our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

Dear Mr. Lim,

My name is Mary Taylor. I’m a 14-year-old girl. I want to be a pilot. I spend hours watching the planes take off from the airport. I love traveling to new places by plane and the idea of flying people around the world!

I’m not sure whether it’s the right job for me. I want to decide soon. I hope to start training early. I want to be young when I’m flying a Boeing 737 or even an A380.

I have so many questions about the job-do you get paid well? I want to make lots of money because I want to have a big family and a big house. Is it fun? Is it safer than being a doctor, a policewoman,etc.?Is it really hard? I’m a girl,so will I be discriminated against（被歧视）? If I decide to become a pilot, where and when should I start training?

My only brother also says if I want to be a pilot, I have to be really good at math, but I’m only OK at math.

Being a pilot looks like one of the coolest jobs in the world. Could you please write to me soon? Thanks so much, Mr. Lim!

Yours,

Mary Taylor
