【推荐1】I’m Kevin, a student of Grade 7. Many of my friends walk to school, but I like to ride my bike every day. I get up at 7: 00. After I wash my face and eat breakfast, I take the schoolbag on my back. Do I have my books and homework? Yes, I do.

I take my bike and ride to school at 7: 30. “See you later, Mum,” I say. Mary does not want to ride with me. She does not like to wear a schoolbag. She likes to bring her books in her arms when she walks. She likes to look at the flowers best.

Not me! I like to ride my bike to feel the wind. When I get to school, I say hi to Mr Brown and wait（等候）for my friends in our classroom.

My desk is blue. There is a backpack, a book and a computer on the desk. My keys are in my pencil box and you can’t see them.

What’s on the chair? It’s a cat. Oh, no. It’s my hat. Where’s my ruler? It’s in my parents’ bedroom.

【推荐3】Dan Austin is a writer and filmmaker. He is “saving” the world, giving away one bike at a time. In 2006, Austin and his brother started an organization called 88Bikes. It's non-profit group that delivers bikes to kids in need around the world for free. In less than four years, the group has given away nearly 800 bikes in seven different countries.

What difference can one bike make? A big one, says Austin. Many of the children who have received bikes from88 Bikes live in faraway areas and in orphanages（孤儿院） Having bike gives the kids a safe and quick way to get to school. It also means freedom for a young person, and the happiness that bike can bring is just more important than anything else, Austin explains. ‘This may also be favorable to their study because being happy they are likely to learn more.” Austin adds.

Austin and his brother thought of the idea for 88Bikes in an outing. They once went to Cambodia by bike. After the ride, they decided to give away their bikes to an orphanage in the city of Phnom Penh. “But then we realized there were 88 kids in the orphanage,” Austin says. “We wanted to help the other 86 kids, too.” So, they set up the group as well as a website for donations. Four days later, there was enough money to buy more than enough bikes.

Along with the bikes, all of the children receive hats, bike locks and shoes. They also receive photos of the donors（捐赠人）. “We want them to know that there is somebody across the ocean that always cares about them,” Austin says. A world map is put on the back of the photo which shows where the donors live. The donors also receive pictures of the kids and their new bikes.
