Falling in love with biking

爱上骑自行车

1The first time my parents watched me compete in a mountain bike race,they tried to get me to quit.While I was riding down a hill,I hit a huge rock,flew through the air and crashed to the ground.However,this kind of thing happens all the time.I just got up as fast as I could,got back on my bike and kept going.And I won that race,despite taking quite a spill!

2My earliest bike memories are of my father taking me out for rides in the child seat on the back of his ten-speed.A couple years later,I got my first bike.But my parents wouldn't let me ride more than a few blocks from the house until I was ten.The morning of my tenth birthday,I got my elder sister to take me on a long ride.We ended up at my aunt's house.Although I was totally exhausted and every muscle in my body ached,I didn't care.I knew that this was only the beginning,and all I could think about was where my next trip would take me.

3When I was in the eighth grade,our gym teacher,Mr Raines,sent out a flyer about starting a mountain bike club.I ran to his office between classes and signed up.Over the next few months,the ten of us who joined the club worked on our biking skills.Besides taking us out riding,Mr Raines taught us about bike safety,and showed us how to properly maintain and repair our bikes.He also helped us form a mountain bike team.At first,we competed against each other.Later,we went up against other schools.We continued to train and compete all through high school.

4Biking has been the major focus of my life.Those early trips on the back of my father's bike got me started.The long rides with my sister increased my enthusiasm.Then,the training and competitions in the bike club guaranteed that I would turn into a lifelong bike fan.I think everyone should have a hobby like this——something that is good for them and makes them happy.

二、典句赏析

1.让步状语从句

Although I was totally exhausted and every muscle in my body ached,I didn't care.尽管我筋疲力尽，浑身肌肉酸痛，但我不在乎。

【点石成金】本句中，Although 引导让步状语从句，强调主句内容。在该句型中，主句前不可以加but，这是一个易错点，写作中使用该句型时应多加注意。

【例句仿写】尽管我们彼此很少见面，但我们仍是好朋友。

2.定语从句

I think everyone should have a hobby like this——something that is good for them and makes them happy.我认为每个人都应该有这样的爱好——使他们获益并让他们感到快乐的爱好。

【点石成金】本句用了一个that 引导的定语从句，用来说明人们应该拥有使他们获益并让他们感到快乐的爱好。由于先行词为不定代词something，所以关系代词只能用that 而不能用which。

【例句仿写】当你正承受着学习的压力时，你可以试着找一些能帮助你放松自己的东西。

三、写作迁移

假定你是李华，山地自行车俱乐部最近组织了一场山地自行车比赛,作为自行车爱好者,你很想参加,可是父母担心这会影响你的学习并且担心你的安全,不同意你参加。请你写一封信劝说父母同意你去参加，内容包括：

1.表达参加山地自行车比赛的愿望；

2.阐述骑自行车的益处；

3.恳请父母同意自己去参加比赛。注意：

1.词数80 左右；

2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；

3.至少需要使用一个本文中解析过的句式；

4.注意段落内的逻辑关系。

Dear Mom and Dad,

Yours sincerely,

Your beloved son,Li Hua

➢写作支架

本次的写作任务是写一封劝说信。根据任务中的要求，语篇结构可定为“引出问题+写作目的+阐述劝说的具体理由+总结并表达期望”。文章的框架如下：

➢语篇过手

根据以上提供的主题、主题表达和语篇结构，确定文章内容。第一段引出问题，表明写作目的；第二段结合问题，阐述劝说的具体理由；第三段总结个人观点并表达希望对方接受自己的想法。词数控制在80 左右。

同时，学习运用前文阅读中出现的让步状语从句或者定语从句等高级表达和结构。尤其要注意文章的内在逻辑关系，以及语言的准确性、流利性和得体性。
