World Bicycle Day It’s on the 3rd of June every year. The purpose (目的) is to make more and more people fall in love with riding. |
On a fine day, some children sit on their bicycles. Their mothers, standing not far, watch them happily. The children are happy to learn how to ride. They are between four and seven years old. They give names to their bikes and have fun riding with their friends.
Many people work hard to promote (推广) riding. Mary White is the starter (创始人) of a riding club. She says, “Riding is good for children for many reasons (理由).” Here are three of them.
Riding makes children feel free and happy.
Riding is a great way for children to get into healthy habits.
Riding keeps children close to nature (亲近自然).
Now, Mary’s job is to teach children to ride. Before starting a ride, she teaches children to make sure the bikes are safe to ride. Then, she teaches children to ride and stop. She tells them to look ahead (向前) when riding. It sounds easy, but many children find it difficult. They often look down, because they are too afraid. Rachel thinks every child should try (尝试) riding. If they don’t have a bike, it is very easy for them to find a shared bike (共享单车) to use. The following rules can help you to use a shared bike.

Wind is a powerful force in nature. Wind energy may cause the great waves in the world’s oceans. Its power can be used to create electricity for cities and the countryside.
Wind can also power many expressions in American English. Let’s start with a simple one. If you run like the wind, you can run very fast. After running, sometimes you can be full of energy.
If you are doing something difficult, it is good to have the wind at your back, for example, when you are sailing. In this way, it is easier to go forward.
Knowing the direction of the wind is the most important part of sailing. When wind fills a sail, it makes the boat go faster. If you take the wind out of someone’s sails, you prevent them from reaching their goals.
Let’s turn from sailing to music. Many songwriters use the image of wind in their songs. If an idea is blowing in the wind, it is under discussion but has yet to be decided. When a singer sings “you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, he means you know what is going on, and he tells you to trust yourself as you can find something out on your own.
Now you know which way the wind blows. Then how can you use these expressions properly? First, read them aloud and keep them in mind. Then, practice using them and test yourself. You know, practice makes perfect.
