The two-wheel wonder
I LOVE my new two-wheeler, which is a wonderful birthday present from my parents.
It is blue in colour, with some green spots on the wheels.
Every evening, I will ride my bicycle around my house at Seremban 2, Seremban in Negri Sembilan.
I am now learning how to ride on a two-wheeler. Before this, I was riding a tricycle.
Both my parents have been patiently coaching me.
Even though I fell off my bike few times and have scratches on my hands and legs, I did not give up.
My father kept telling me, “Don’t lose hope, Princess. You’re doing great!”
I told my parents they were the best teachers I have ever had. They replied that I was a very good student.
Now, I can ride confidently. It is indeed fun to ride my bicycle.
Cycling is a healthy activity and promotes an active lifestyle. During my Geography lesson, I learnt that cycling can help to prevent pollution too. By cycling, we can contribute towards conserving nature and making the world a better place to live in.
I can also enjoy beautiful scenery while cycling and appreciate the greenery around me better.
Riding my new bicycle has been a really wonderful experience for me.
However, my parents often advise me to be careful and alert when cycling. Now, I am looking forward to participating in cycling activities.
I would like to win some competitions too. Someone once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, keep moving!”
I am very thankful to my parents and God for making my dream come true – owning a bicycle and being able to ride it. –
