Polished transcript:

Male Female

Now I'm going to talk about an incident that happened a week ago when my bike broke down on my way to school. Usually, I don't ride bikes because I don't like them; I prefer walking. But sometimes, especially when I'm late, I have to ride bikes. Such a situation happened to me, if I'm not mistaken, approximately three or four months ago. At that time, I was riding my bike when suddenly I heard a loud clank from my back wheel. As soon as I heard it, I stopped to check, and I saw that the chain had come off. At first, I didn't know what to do because I felt confused and disappointed, and I didn't have any tools to repair my bicycle. Fortunately, a kind stranger who was passing by offered help. He taught me how to put the chain on properly, and after a few minutes, it worked again. I thanked him and continued to school, arriving a bit late. From this small incident, I learned the importance of checking my bicycle twice before going anywhere.
