"The bike is too old. Let me throw it away, " said Mum. "Don't throw it away, Mum. It means a lot to me, "I nearly cried. I like my old bike because it is my first bike. It wasn't bought by my parents, but by myself, with my one month's hard work.
Ten years ago, I learned to ride a bike with my father's help. I had a special feeling①____my friends rode past me on their cool new bikes. How I wanted a new bike of myself!I knew it was impossible even if I asked my parents to buy one for me. They worked so hard for the family but still didn't have any extra（额外的）money for a bike!
I knew myself well and I always tried to get what I wanted by myself. That summer vacation, I didn't spend much time playing outside like most kids. Instead, I found a part—time job. I worked two hours a day in a factory, and I could get 15 yuan a day!15 yuan was really a lot of money for me at that time. I finally got 450 yuan!It was enough for a bike!
I told my parents about my part—time job, and showed them the money. They were so surprised!Of course, they allowed me to buy a bike!It has been my best friend②____then. I rode it to almost every corner of the town, happily and proudly. "Mum, could I keep it?" I begged again. My mum finally agreed. I was overjoyed and jumping up and down because I could keep my old friend. It is very important to me!
