Cloze 7
On my 14th birthday,I gave myself a skateboard. For me, it was a special gift, 1 that I had fully recovered from the terrible accident two years ago.
Back then, I accidentally fell from a 12-metre tree and broke my legs. I went from using a wheelchair to crutches(拐杖),then managed to walk a block,and finally walked miles on my own. For me,taking exercise became far more 2 than ever before. So why not make it enjoyable? I've wanted to skate since childhood, 3 I used to spend all my time dancing. To me,skating was like it—both require rhythm,body control and 4. So I hope my dance experience will help.
For a long time,I tried learning alone and always practised 5 when many strangers saw me skating. That fear of being judged often stopped me from 6.
Then one day,my friend Monica 7 me to meet members of GRLSWIRL,a skateboarding club. They were happy to help and excited to see me 8 challenges. Little by little,I became confident and my legs got better 9.
Because of that accident,even a small 10 made my heart beat fast—I was afraid of getting hurt again. But since falling is a big part 11 skating,the more I learnt about it,the better my body and mind understood that it was OK and that I could 12 and get up again. Although I started skating for exercise,I never 13 it to help me with this problem and 14 a new world for me. So,you see,life is like a roller coaster,full of ups and downs,allowing us to take on 15 and see how brave we are.
