My Favorite Sport
Playing sports is becoming more and more important in our teenagers’ daily life. When it comes to my favourite sport, cycling always holds a special place in my heart.
Last autumn, I joined a cycling club and started my first cycling trip. At first, we rode and talked happily side by side. Suddenly, I fell down and hurt my leg because of riding too fast. At that time, the only thing came into my mind is giving up. However, students in the club encouraged me to keep on and helped me all the way. Finally, we rode to the finishing line and cheered together. From then on, I know cycling can not only make my body stronger but also make me better understand team work.
I feel happy and learn a lot by cycling. Why not join us
