In the 1980s, the bicycle was a popular form of transportation in China. At that time, I was only a teenager. I envied people when I saw them riding around on their bicycles.
On my birthday, I received a present from my father. It was a fashionable bicycle. I was so excited about this gift as I would be able to ride on the bicycle like other people. I rode on it immediately, but it was not as simple as it looked. I fell down as soon as I got on my bicycle and hurt my foot. I almost gave up on the bicycle. Just then, a friend of mine advised me to learn how to get on the bicycle first. I took my friend's suggestion. I grasped the handlebars and stepped on one of the pedals with my left foot to move forward for a little distance. After I was proficient in this, I put my right foot on the other pedal. But I was not successful. I fell down again and again. On the following days, I returned to practicing getting on the bicycle. After numerous tries, I finally successed in putting both feet on the pedals. I was awfully excited about riding on the bicycle. But after a few minutes. I found that I was having trouble getting off my bicycle. At last, I fell down on the ground in front of a surprised crowd and got off the bicycle. In spite of all felling down many times, I continued to try. A few days later, I could ride on my bicycle and began to enjoy the feeling of riding on a bicycle.
This is one of my success stories. It is very funny and amusing. Now, I am studying English in the Microskills LINC School. I hope I can speak English very well after a few years. It may be another success story of mine.
