2nd May, 2019 (Monday) Sunny

Today, I had a terrible day. In the morning I went cycling with my brother in Sha Tin

and I hurt myself badly.

It was sunny. My brother and I were cycling along the river when my friend called me

on my mobile phone. I was talking to my friend on the phone while I was still cycling. My

friend told me a joke and I laughed a lot. I did not watch the road carefully and crashed into a

tree.

I hurt my knee badly. I felt very sad. Luckily a kind lady took me to the hospital and

called my mother for me. The doctor told me to rest in bed for two days and take some

medicine.

Finally Mum came and took me home. The lady was so nice and we thanked her. I

have learnt that I must not talk on the phone when I am cycling. It was an awful day.
