My friend let me drive his new motorcycle for the first time. I got overconfident with how fast it could go and shifted gears too quickly, forgetting safety. As I turned a corner at high speed, I shifted up instead of down and crashed into a street corner, leaving us with abrasions and pain. My friend rushed me home for first aid, and I learned my lesson about being more careful on a motorcycle.

1. INTRODUCTION: One time my
friend bought a new
motorcycle. The motorcycle is
fresh from the shop. Then he
allowed me to drive it first.
RISING ACTION: Then I wondered how
fast his new motorcycle can get. So I
shifted the gear so I can be faster. At
that time I forgot about my safety.
CLIMAX: As I turned to the left I forgot that I must lower the
gear so I will be slower but instead I shift the gear up and be
faster, causing us to hit the corner of the street leaving us
abrasions and pain.
DENOUEMENT: Knowing that the accident
happened using a bike she warned me not
to use bike anymore. And I’m thankful that I
didn’t die in that accident.
FALLING ACTION:I was the one who was damaged
severely so my friend rushed me to our house and my
mother cleaned my abrasion and gave me first aid.
Then when my mother asked me what happened, I
said that it happened using a bike and she believed it.
