A sample story
Introduction
There is a small bike lying quietly in our garage. lt is quite old and l can no longer ride it, but l still keep it there, as it brings back a sweet memory.

A sample story
Many years ago, it was a Sunday morning on my sixth birthday. My father bought me a new bike. l could not wait to get on it and learn how to ride, so l begged my father to teach me in the garden.

Development
After l sat on the new bike, my father helped me put my two hands on the handle bars and my feet on the pedals. Then, he pushed the bike so that the pedals started to move. l was scared! But my father kept encouraging me. After falling down a few times, l could cycle around the garden shortly. It was amazing.

But unluckily, I was so busy waving at him that I didn’t see a small tree in front of me. I hit it and fell off the bike. It hurt a lot and I started to cry. My father encouraged me to stand up, be brave and try again. Gradually, I was able to ride the bike more skillfully.

I kept riding the bike until it was too small for me. It is still one of my most precious possessions, for not only was it my first bike, but a symbol of my courage as well as my father’s love. And I learnt that love has a great power.
