Title: The Open Road

Level: Intermediate (B)


#Story :

Zara, a 21-year-old motorcycle enthusiast, lives for the thrill of riding. Her customized black motorcycle is her pride and joy, and she feels free every time she hits the open road. One morning, Zara is invited to a motorcycle rally outside the city, where bikers from all over gather to ride together. At the rally, she meets new friends, including a guy with a Ducati who is impressed with her bike and riding skills. Together, they ride through winding mountain roads, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the excitement of the ride. During a break at a diner, the guy suggests Zara try racing, believing she has the talent for it. While Zara loves the idea of racing, for now, she’s content with the freedom of riding and the adventures it brings. As she returns home, she feels happy and fulfilled, knowing that the open road will always be her true passion.
