Short Writing Practice 1

A brilliant sunbeam was slanting through a gap in the curtains. In no time, I jumped out of my bed since I remembered that dad said he would teach me to cycle this day.

Just after the breakfast, dad took me to the nearest park. I was so excited that I could not stop fidgeting. We soon arrived at the park with my bicycle. Yet, I found that learning cycling was not that easy as I thought.

At the beginning, dad held the bicycle at the back to make me safe. I found the first few pedals were hard ones. Nevertheless, the condition improved rapidly as I kept trying. After a few minutes, I thought my cycling skills was proficient and asked father to let me go by myself. I can see his anxiety rushed through his veins. He thought my cycling skill was not good enough. Before long, I was sailing down the hill of the park rapidly and going to crash on a tree. I attempted to change my direction forcefully, but failed. My father comforted me and encouraged me, "Never be beaten down by difficulties."

I learned cycling for the whole morning. In the end, I sailed down the slope without crashing anything! A sense of accomplishment crept up to my head and my eyes lit up like the sky on the first of October. As a reward, my dad took me to Mcdonald for my favourite lunch. From then on, I always remember father's wise saying, "Never be beaten by difficulties."
