My dear friends, do you like cycling? Cycling is full     fun. When I go out, I always like it. But cycling in the UK is      from cycling in China.
First, you have to ride on the      side of the street. It’s not    as you do in China. It was the biggest difference when I first rode here.
One day when I was riding on my bike I heard someone  to me. “Wrong side! Wrong side!” I didn’t care about it at first, but soon I was     when I saw a car rushing(冲向) by me. Luckily, I was not hurt.
Second, UK bikes have two    ,a white one and a red one. The white one is in the     and the red one at the back. When you’re riding in the dark, they can keep you   . But in China, you can’t see lights on bikes in the dark.
There’s another difference between UK bikes and Chinese bikes. What? Remember. You can      your bike anywhere you like in China, but you can’t do that in the UK.
