Question

Riding a bicycle has become very popular these days.

My school is far from my house, so I went there by bus for years. I sometimes got there late. This March I asked my father to get me a bicycle so that I might get to school on time. And he bought me one some days later.

Then the problem was how to ride the bicycle. One of my friends lives next door. He helped me learn how to ride. He took me to a school playground and demonstrated how to ride to me. When it was my turn to ride, he ran with me. He did that to make sure he would be there when I was falling off I learned things very quickly and could ride a bicycle without anyone's help after a few days.

What fun it is to ride a bicycle! I now go to school on my bicycle. I think a bicycle is the cheapest and quickest means of transport （交通工具）for a student. I make use of my bicycle if a football game is waiting for me in the park. I visit the homes of my friends by bicycle. And they live too far away. I can also be very helpful to my mother and get vegetables and fruit for the house.

What fun it is to fly like a bird on my bicycle!
