21.Mad or not
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built during the war, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

I lived nearby an abandoned airport which was built for the war. But the airport has been used since last year. The noises of the passing planes are driving people crazy. A lot of people have left but I decide to stay, even though I was offered quite a bit of money. Everyone says there must be something wrong with me, and they are probably correct.

Thank you for listening, any comments are welcomed.
