A personal narrative is a fancy name for writing about your life.
It might be a small everyday happening or a large life event.
Here are some events or experiences from my own life that I would like to write about. Yesterday, we made a list of personal narrative ideas; and experiences from our own lives. Today we are going to choose one idea, orally shared it, and then write. As a writer, I look at my list and think about which experience is of most interest to me and would be of interest to my reader. I would like to tell you about the time I broke my arm. The first time I ride a bicycle and like other people, a new thing and a new experience, we all have on the first try. It was a Saturday, I cannot remember if was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was Saturday because the park was filled with people.

At the age of 15, people know how to ride a bike when they were a kid. People around the road throw their eyes at me. Oh, such a shame! It was carefree at the moment. Just focus on what I was doing. “ Life is like a bike, if you don’t move on, you will fall,” said, someone. Get in getting off my legs were tired…. My mom pushed me and then took her hands off my bicycle. I struggled to find friends that I could trust would be there for me if I picked up and left again. Trust no one! I felt disappointed in myself and my mum. I fell off the bicycle. Painful. Stood up. Tried again. Over and over again. And just like the saying of Vietnamese people “ Having merit grind iron, one day it becomes a needle”. Yes, I trained hard on my bike, and a lot of injuries were caused during the training. As you can see, I succeeded, I was able to run on a bike that I thought was very difficult for me. During the training process , there were times when I was bored and tired, but when I think it later, I can ride on my favorite motorbike, and it seems negative
