[00:00.840]--- Lesson 21 Mad or not?
[00:07.080]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.560]--- Why do people think the writer is mad?
[00:19.680]Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad.
[00:25.040]I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day.
[00:33.240]The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then.
[00:42.960]Last year, however, it came into use.
[00:48.040]Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise.
[00:54.560]I am one of the few people left.
[00:58.480]Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.
[01:05.440]I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here.
[01:14.440]Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
