2. Reasons and Information
Learning Intention: To include information (facts and details) to support my reasons.
Look at the reasons and information (facts and details) for why riding a bicycle might be a great pastime. There are three reasons in favor of riding a bicycle and one reason against it.
| Reason | Information (Facts and Details) |
|---|---|
| It makes me fitter |
Fact: I rode to the local park and back home which is 5 miles. Details:This is further than the 2 miles I could ride when I started riding so I am much fitter now. |
| It is good for the environment |
Facts: According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, cars cause more than half of the air pollution in the USA. Bicycles do not cause any air pollution. Details: I ride my bicycle to school each day so my mom does not have to drive me. This means she does not drive her car as much and add to the air pollution. |
| I like the outdoors |
Fact: When I ride I am closer to nature. Details: I can smell the trees and hear the birds singing. At the local park I saw lots of flowers, trees, squirrels and birds, including a red cardinal. This is why I like being outdoors. |
| It can be dangerous |
Facts: Riding on the footpath can be dangerous to other people who you might bump into. Riding on the road where there is no cycle path can be dangerous because of cars. Also it is dangerous to cycle on icy roads and footpaths. Details: One time, a dog ran in front of me on the footpath and I fell off my bike. My knee was bleeding. |
