Winter Mountain Lake

This Saturday, my parents, my parent's friends,kids and I went to Winter Mountain Lake in Ilan, Taiwan. Winter Mountain Lake is a park and a place to practice riding a 2 wheel bicycle or a 4 wheel bicycle. When I arrived there, I saw a store that rents bicycles. You can rent one for 100 nt every two hours. At first, I wanted to rent a bicycle that had four seats, then my dad said that I needed to practice riding a bicycle, so I rented a small one. When I started riding a 2 wheel bicycle, my dad controlled me. Then my mom said," Michelle will not be able to balance herself if you go so slow! Let her have her own speed!" At first, my dad did not listen, but when his friend told him the same thing. he listened. I could go as fast as I wanted. Soon, I got used to it. My mom and dad try to let go of me. Although I fell down a few times, my dad told me to get up. That was the time when I almost gave up. I threw the bicycle on the floor and found a chair sit. I felt really tired and angry. After a few minutes, my mom said," Don't give up. " So, I did not give up. I got up, and started riding. I did not fall down this time! Not at all! When I went pass my parent's friends and kids, they said to me," Well done, Michelle!" It made me feel proud. After a few minutes,I fell down on a bridge. " It's okay.", I said to myself. Keep trying! Now I know the things you can do from preventing the bicycle form falling down. First, you get one feet on the bicycle and ride. Second you put the other feet on the bicycle. Last, you put body straight. Remember, ALWAYS keep your body straight and look forward! When the two hours was over, we went back to the store to return our bicycle. All of us voted that I should come to Winter Mountain Park again next time!
