A gift (such as a camera, a soccer ball, or an animal) can contribute to a child's development. What gift would you give to help a child develop? Why? Use reasons and specific examples to support your choice.
When I was about 10 years old, my older sister gave me a present. It was my first real grown-up bicycle: a three-speed, yellow and black, shiny and new. I still remember how excited I was. That bicycle was very important to me over the next few years. If I wanted to give a gift that would contribute to a child's development, I would choose a bicycle.
当我大约10岁的时候，我姐姐给了我一份礼物。这是我第一辆真正的成年自行车：一辆三速的，黄色和黑色的，闪亮的和新的。我仍然记得我是多么兴奋。在接下来的几年里，那辆自行车对我很重要。如果我想送一个有助于孩子成长的礼物，我会选择一辆自行车。
Bikes are great exercise. They encourage outdoor play. Television and video games, which are the most popular children's activities nowadays, involve mostly sitting and starting. Riding a bike makes exercise fun.
自行车是很好的锻炼。他们鼓励户外运动。电视和电子游戏是当今最受欢迎的儿童活动，主要包括坐着和开始。骑自行车使运动变得有趣。
Bikes are convenient transportation, too. Without a bike you have to depend on an adult to drive you almost everywhere. With a bike you can go farther. You can ride to your friend's bouses. If your school is close enough, you can take yourself to school. You have control over where you go, and you're not always waiting or begging for a ride. Now you can say “Can I go ……?” instead of “Please take me!”
自行车也是方便的交通工具。没有自行车，你几乎要依靠一个成年人开车到处跑。有了自行车你可以走得更远。你可以骑马去你朋友家。如果你的学校足够近，你可以带自己去学校。你可以控制自己的去处，而且你并不总是等待或乞求搭车。现在你可以说“我能去吗？”；？&“而不是”请带走我！&对我小时候来说，自行车意味着独立。我不仅可以走得更远，而且没有人注意到我去了哪里。这条路经过公园、池塘、树林、7-11商店等等。我从另一个角度看到了小区道路网。我可以在任何地方停下来看看我想要什么。一切都是我的选择。骑自行车是主动的，而不是被动的。
To me as a child, a bicycle meant independence. Not only could I could I go farther, but no one was watching where I went. The road went past the park, the pond, the woods, the 7-11 store, and more. I saw the network of little neighborhood roads from a different viewpoint. I could stop anywhere and look at whatever I wanted. Everything was my choice. Bike riding was active, not passive.
我的自行车给了我有趣的锻炼、方便的交通和自由。由于这些原因，我认为自行车是给孩子的特别礼物
My bicycle gave me fun exercise, easy transportation, and freedom. For all these reasons, I think that a bicycle is a special present for a child.
