My Bicycle
I have a red bicycle.
I pedal and I ride.
Trin… trin… trin… goes the bell.
Makes my friends move aside.
The seat is blue in colour,
The tyres and pedals are black.
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow,
But my bicycle is always on track.
To keep my bicycle moving,
All I need is some air.
I put on my little helmet,
And go happily everywhere.

Children are introduced to the short vowel sound ‘a’ through words such as ant, axe, apple, rat, cat, mat, pan, man and cap.
They learn the names of bicycle parts such as seat, pedal, wheel, bell, handle, carrier and brake.

“My Bicycle” एक कविता है जिसमें एक बच्चा अपनी लाल साइकिल के बारे में बताता है।
बच्चा साइकिल के पैडल चलाकर उसे चलाता है। साइकिल की घंटी “trin... trin... trin” की आवाज करती है और उसके मित्र रास्ते से एक ओर हो जाते हैं।
साइकिल की सीट नीले रंग की है तथा उसके टायर और पैडल काले हैं। साइकिल कभी तेज और कभी धीरे चलती है, लेकिन हमेशा रास्ते पर रहती है।
साइकिल को चलाते रहने के लिए उसमें हवा होना जरूरी है। बच्चा अपनी छोटी हेलमेट पहनता है और खुशी-खुशी हर जगह जाता है।
अध्याय में बच्चों को साइकिल, ट्राइसाइकिल और व्हीलचेयर के बारे में बोलने तथा अलग-अलग घंटियों की आवाज पहचानने का अवसर दिया गया है।
बच्चों को छोटे स्वर की ‘a’ ध्वनि से परिचित कराया जाता है। इसके लिए ant, axe, apple, rat, cat, mat, pan, man और cap जैसे शब्द दिए गए हैं।
बच्चे साइकिल के विभिन्न भागों के नाम सीखते हैं, जैसे seat, pedal, wheel, bell, handle, carrier और brake।
अंत में बच्चों को अपनी कल्पना से एक जादुई साइकिल बनाने, उसे चित्रित करने और यह सोचने के लिए कहा जाता है कि वे उस साइकिल से कहाँ जाएँगे, वहाँ क्या करेंगे और क्या देखेंगे।
