when I was a first year in high school. I met a girl. Actually I had heard about her before I met her. Someone said she was s trouble maker. She smoked, drunk, and even liked riding a motorcycle. So I had a prejudice to her. One day, I had a chance to talk with her about now and the future. I was surprised. Because she was maturer than any other students about the some age. She already decided to her route, and she also had a dream same with me, lawyer.
After the time, we became good friend. I liked her very much, so I didn’t like that she smoked and drunk especially rode a motorcycle. Riding motorcycle without a helmet is really difficult. But sometime she enjoyed riding a motorcycle without a helmet. I asked her to quit riding a motorcycle. Whenever I asked her, she answered just “Yes”. But she didn’t quit anything.
Finally, when I was a second year in high school, during vacation, she died cause of car acident. At that time she didn’t have helmet but her motorcycle clashed with a car. She died on the spot.
After she died, I was depressed for a long time. I couldn’t sleep and eat for few days. Sometimes I dream about her until nowadays. I miss her so much, and I hope we’ll meet again in the heaven.
I think you should change the word.
” Riding motorcycle without a helmet is really dangerous.”
I think ‘Dangerous’ is the word that you want to say, isn’t it?
If it is not, I am sorry.
Hyesun,
You’re right, I was thinking the same thing. It’s not harder to ride a bike without a helmet, is it? The helmet doesn’t help you drive, it just protects you. So driving without a helmet is more dangerous. It’s good advice, and don’t apologize!
Gayoung,
What a sad story. I have a friend who rides a bicycle a lot, and when he rides, he always wears a helmet. He does this because he almost died the same way one day when he was riding his bicycle and a truck hit him: his skull was cracked but he lived somehow. He was very lucky. When he heard I bought a bicycle, he told me that he would kill me if I didn’t also wear a helmet. So I did, and it probably has saved my life a couple of times too in accidents I’ve had. Anyway, I’m sorry about how you lost your friend to an accident. It’s very sad, and it makes me angry at another friend of mine who also doesn’t wear a helmet when he rides a bike.
I have a question: was she really riding a motorcycle, or was it a scooter? I haven’t seen too many high school girls riding motorbikes, but it might be she was really tough.
By the way, thank you for sharing something so personal. I know it’s not easy to write about something like that when you know people will read it, and worse, when you know people will be looking at your grammar. So thanks, and I applaud you for your courage!
