I (1) ____________ to ride a bike when I (2) ____________ eight years old. My dad (3) ____________me....

I learned to ride a bike when I was eight years old. My dad taught me. I remember one day in particular. The sun was shining and Dad took me to the local park with my new bike. My old bike had stabilisers, but this one didn't. When we got there, I saw some children who were riding their bikes, and I wanted to be just like them. I started on my bike and Dad began to push me. After a moment, I told my dad he was pushing me too fast, and I couldn’t believe his answer! ‘I’m not pushing you! You’re doing it by yourself!’ he said. Of course, I fell off my bike many times after that, but that was a very special day.
