Let me tell you about a journey that nearly went wrong.
Last weekend, I decided to visit my friend, Khalid, who lives in a 1 town near me.
I decided to 2 catch the train, which was leaving at 11am.
I didn’t have any 3 luggage because I wasn’t planning to stay there overnight.
I got on my bike and started to 4 cycle to the train station, which is ten minutes from my house.
After five minutes, I hit something in the road and fell off my bike! I was OK, but my bike was damaged.
I was so 5 annoyed at myself for having an accident!
I was 6 worried that I was going to miss the train. Just then, a young man drove past me on a 7 scooter.
He was travelling at high 8 speed, but he stopped and came back when he saw me sitting in the road.
He offered to take me to the station, which was really 9 generous!
He gave me a 10 helmet to put on my head and I got on the back of the scooter. We made it, thanks to my new friend!
