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 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 and employ more of them 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.
