Dear Malika!

I have just got your letter with the picture of you riding a bike. From the smile on your face, I
can tell how much fun you’re having. I still remember when you could hardly ride a tricycle. Now here’s some advice. I’m sure you’re a good rider. But you may often fall off the bike. So please get yourself a helmet. A helmet is a hard cap which is worn to protect your head from a head injury. Wear a helmet when you ride a bike. Wear it every time you ride. I just don’t want a bad fall to wipe that smile off your face. When you come to visit me this summer, bring your bike. I ’m planning to have a ride along the seaside with you. Your friend, Aisha.
