A young man makes Singapore travel easier – level 1
24-02-2026 15:00
Singapore has a very good bus and train system. But some places are hard to find.
A young man named Veric puts up signs to help people. The signs look like official signs, but he makes them. Veric starts at a university because the bus stops have no signs. Now he also works in other areas. He does many signs. Veric works at night and looks at maps to make his signs clear. He wants travel to be easy.
Before this, he writes about bad signs online. Nothing changes. He starts to change things himself. He thinks that other people will help make the city better.
Difficult words: system (parts which work together), sign (a board or label with information), area (a part of a place).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why did Veric start putting up his signs at a university?
