Tuk Tuk function for those who do not post it

A tuk-tuk  is a type of taxi with three wheels . the driver sits at the front .and behind him is a seat for three passengers. Sometimes four passengers can fit into the tuk-tuk , but it is very uncomfortable ! they are called tuk-tuk  because of the funny sound of their small engines. There are thousands of tuk - tuk in Bangkok , Thailand.
One tuk-tuk driver is pom sanniwat . pom is fifty – two years old, and has been driving his tuk –tuk  for almost twenty-five years . like many tuk – tuk drivers pom comes from the north of Thailand. Pom’s village was very poor . there was no work on the farms, so pom came to bangkok . HE decided to become a tuk –tuk driver because it looked like fun.
Pom likes being a tuk-tuk driver because he can speak to many people everyday .He can also earn over 400$ a month . Almost any one can become atuk - tuk driver. Tuk-tuks are very easy to drive . but driving a tuk-tuk has its disadvantages, too. When pomm started  driving his tuk-tuk , he often got lost! Pom also has  along day. He works from six o’clock at night . there are many cars and buses in Bangkok , so there is a lot of pollution . the pollution is bad for pom’s health.

the bicycle from generation to generation will continue to be environmentally friendly

Many things we use every day to go from place to place move on wheels , for example . the bus . the motor bike . the car and many others move on wheels , One of the things that move on wheels is the bicycle . bicycles are important for both young people and grown-ups . people use them for fun and for work all over the world.
the history of the bike is interesting. in 1818 . the bicycle had no pedals . the pedals were added in 1839 the pedals made them move faster than the old ones . more speed was possible by making the front wheel very large . but such bicycles were dangerous to ride .
BY 1900 , MOST of the bicycle parts that we know today were developed  . They include equal - sized wheels , brakes to stop the bike , a chain connecting the pedals to the rear wheels . and various speeds . bicycling is now an exciting sport and a means of transport . using the bike to go to school or work is  a clean an easy of moving around . Unlike other means of transport , the bike does not use petrol . this means that the bike keeps the enviroment from another good thing about the bike is that it does not need a big space to park . this is why in some big cities in the world . people can only ride bicycles

From food to sport

Hunting was originall a means of providing food , but it has now become a sport , though in some parts of the world there are still people who hunt wild animals to provide themselves with food in england , hunting is as much a social activity as anything else.
A great many years ago , fishermen in japan used birds to catch fish . this art of fishing is said to be at least a thousand years old and is mentioned in japanese noh plays today , however , fishing in this way has simply become a sport. for the fishermen are not seriously interested in catching fish.
On summer nights the fishing boats set out on rivers in various parts of the country . the front of each boat there is an iron basket in which a wood fire is kept burning . as the grace ful curved boats float past carried along by the current . these fires , dotted here an here , make bright patterns on the water , steering down the river , the fishermen beat the sides of the boat to encourage the birds and people out for an evening entertainment either sit or lie on the floor of the boats cooking a meal for themselves over the flames of the fire . this method of fishing demands great skill , for the fisherman has to handle three or four birds in one hand . a long picece of string tied round the neck of each bird and the fishermen must take care to keep the birds separate from each other . every so often , the birds are set free and they fly close to the water in search of fish . the moment a bird catches afish in its beak , it is pulled back on to the boat , the string is held tightly round the birds throat to prevent it from swallowing the fish it has caught .  when many fish in the river do not appear , the fishermen can sometimes be seen secretly throwing dead fish into the water for the birds to catch , no one  really objects to this practice . as it is all part of this unusual sport
