My first bike
Hi, I’m Ted and I love cycling. I got my first bike at the age
of five. It was purple and green. My favorite colors! I can
remember when my parents gave it to me. My dad took
me into our garden and there it was! I couldn’t ride a bike,
so my parents took me to the park to practice. My mum
was a bit scared. She didn’t want me to fall off, so she told
me to be very careful and to ride slowly. When I sat on the
seat and rode for the first time, I didn’t feel scared. I was
just excited! It wasn’t very difficult and after an hour, I
could ride it very easily. ‘This is great fun!’ I thought.

1. What colour was Ted’s first bike? Purple and green

2. Where did Ted ride his new bike for the first time? In the park
