Scene 1 · A Small Shop on Mittraphap Road
Level band 1 · Beginning–Low Intermediate (A1–A2)Arun is a quiet young man from Khon Kaen. a small bicycle shop next to his house, and it belongs to his father. Arun fix almost any bicycle, because he has watched his father work since he was a child.
Yesterday morning a schoolgirl into the shop with a broken chain. Arun fixed it in ten minutes. “Come back Monday if it breaks again,” he said. The girl thanked him and rode away on bicycle. Arun’s shop is small, but it is than the big shop in the shopping mall, so many students come here.
Scene 2 · Bicycles for the Village
Level band 2 · Intermediate (B1)Arun play football every evening, but these days he spends his free time building bicycles from old parts. Last month a teacher from a village school called him. “Our students walk five kilometres to school,” she said. “Some of them are young to walk that far in the rain.”
Arun decided to help. “I build ten bicycles for your students,” he told her. “I’ve already collected the old frames.” Every bicycle carefully before it leaves the shop. Arun has finished the seventh one, and he really enjoys the children’s faces when they see their new bicycles.
Scene 3 · A Letter to the City Council
Level band 3 · High Intermediate (B2)Dear Council Members,
I am writing about the road between Ban Nong Phai and the town school. By the time the first students received their bicycles in June, they along that road for years, often in heavy traffic. One of the parents told me that her son off his bicycle twice the previous winter.
Last week a truck nearly hit two of the children, shows how dangerous the road has become. The driver seen them, because the road has no lights at all. I wish someone this problem years ago. In my view, a cycle lane on both sides of the road before the next school year begins.
Yours faithfully,
Arun Wongsa
Scene 4 · Arun Speaks at the Clean Air Forum
Level band 4 · Advanced (C1)Two years later, Arun was invited to speak at a regional forum on clean air.
“Not only the children safer, but they have also made our town’s air cleaner. It was not until the cycle lane opened I understood how many adults also wanted to cycle. the first ten bicycles, I realised that old parts are not waste but opportunity.
the support of the village school, the project would have ended after a month. I would rather young people how to repair things than simply buy new ones. A town people repair, share and cycle is a town that breathes.”
