This kid is excited to finally learn to ride a bicycle, with a little help from his 爸爸.
今年我七岁了。爸爸说: ‘你可以学骑自行车了!’
第一天, 我很高兴。但是我骑了一下, 就摔倒了! 好疼啊! 我想哭。
爸爸说: ‘没关系, 再来!’ 他在后面帮我。我们在小路上骑, 一次, 两次, 三次…
现在我会骑了! 我骑得很快, 风吹我的头发。我太开心了!

This year I am seven years old. Dad said: ‘You can learn to ride a bicycle now!’
The first day, I was very happy. But after I rode for a moment, I fell down! It hurt so much! I wanted to cry.
Dad said: ‘It’s okay, try again!’ He helped me from behind. We rode on the small path, once, twice, three times…
Now I can ride! I ride very fast, the wind blows in my hair. I’m having so much fun!
