A Letter to the Arab News - 2
A couple of paragraphs that express your views on the subject.
I am nearly 80 years old and because of the re-routing of the main road while the extension to the metro is constructed I am now too frightened to go out of my house.
The Ministry promised us that the work would only take a year, and now nearly two years later, there is still no sign of it finishing.
Concluding paragraph
As we move towards the third year of these awful roadworks I wonder now if they will ever finish them and that I will ever see a Metro run on these tracks in my lifetime.
