Father and Me
My father teaches me how to ride a bike. Every weekend, I learn to ride it with my father.
At first, I feels very nervous. I often fall down from my bike. My father encourages me to be brave. And he helps me and protects me. Then I am not so worried. I can ride it slowly. At last, I can ride it by myself. I was so excited. My father is proud of me, too.
For me, the love and support of my family give me power. I am really grateful to my family and I will love them forever.
