Last Sunday, my whole family went to the amusement park near our town, as we planned the day before, on my brother David’s 13th birthday. David was two years older than me.

The weather was perfect and everyone was happy. The park was not too crowded. “Fiona,” said my brother, “do you want to go on that ride with me?” “Of course.” I said. The ride was brand new. I saw commercials(广告)for this huge roller coaster(过山车)on television. I was so excited to ride it. As we got in line, we talked excitedly about what we might experience. We decided that we would both try to keep our hands in the air the whole time. We believed that would make it even more enjoyable. I was so busy talking to my brother that I missed the most important sign—Empty your pockets(腾空口袋)before going on the ride.Something bad happened!

The ride started. It was a really fast roller coaster! Before I knew it, we were upside down. I felt my phone slipping(滑落)from my pocket. My hands were in the air, just as we had promised, and I didn’t catch my phone in time. It hit me on the head, fell down to the ground and broke. My parents said I wouldn’t have a new phone until I had enough money to pay for it. I need to be more careful. Next time, I’ll pay better attention to the warning signs as we wait in line for the ride.
