Unit 3 Lesson 1 A Three Wheeled Revolution E-mail writing, Activity 1, Imagine that you write an e-mail to Irfan Alam, giving your suggestions for, redesigning rickshaws with necessary improvements. What would you write?, Dear sir,, Its really a good effort that you introduced pre-paid cycle- rickshaws, the, traditional mode of transportation which is quite plenty now in many cities of our, country. It is said that R&D Wing of SammaN is planning to redesign rickshaws, with necessary improvements. I would like to suggest something regarding the, new-designing of rickshaws., In my opinion, if some modifications are done, it would be easier to handle and, more comfortable for travel. We have seen that most of the rickshaws don’t have, head cover completely. It should be extended for the rickshaw puller also. Panels, should be there for the privacy of the passengers. The seats be made of cushion, with head rest and it should be redesigned as low floor for the convenience of, children and aged people. The back side of the seat can be made in such a way that, the luggage of the passengers can be kept. Fans, phone charging docks, FM can be, attached. The seats should be adjustable and foldable that the rickshaw can be used, for carrying loads/luggage when there are no trips. Likewise, integrated gear, system will make the pedaling easier as we find the cycles with gear. Such, modifications along with the solar powered fiber glass rickshaws planned by the, R& Wing would bring an innovative mode of transportation and eco-friendly at the, same time., Though new trends are emerging every day, this human powered transporting, system is an easier and cheap alternative for getting around in crowded cities like, Mumbai, Chennai etc. So if we change with the change, it will boost the living of, the poor sect of the society who mainly depends on such jobs and the commuters, as well., Sincerely, Name, , 1, , Ananthi.M,HSST English,Govt HSS, Perumpalam ,Alappuzha [HSSLiVE.IN]
