Section I. The assessment of communicative competences.
Read the text and do the tasks below.
You live and learn.
My name is Mary and I'm 24 years old and I'm learning to ride a bicycle. You probably think that it is too late to start. In fact, I wouldn't been invited to go on a cycling holiday this summer. I was too ashamed to tell my friends that I could not ride a bike. It was time to learn.
But why didn't my parents teaсh me when I was a child? Well, to begin with, we didn't have a bicycle. My parents always told my aunt who tried to learn to ride on her own but she fell off and broke her arm. My grandparents were so upset that they decided to give the bicycle away. No one on my mother's side of the family has ridden a bicycle since then.
But now a lot of things have changed. I started my lessons in the local park two months ago. My teacher lowered the seat of my bike so that I could put my feet on the ground and I learnt to balance riding down grassy hills. When I fell off, it didn't hurt much at all. Now I can ride on hard surfaces and I love it.
If you're reading this and you didn't learn to ride a bike as a child, believe that it is never too late. You can find a class or ask a friend to teach you. There is plenty information on the Internet about how to learn. If you fall off, get up and get back on. Don't give up. Cycling is great!
