Correction – 

Today I took my boy to the dentist from Pudong to Huangpu district by bike. my boy was very excited on the road,because it was his first time to go a long distance on a bike. and when we arrived at the old ferry,we took the boat across the river,and then continued riding the bike to the hospital. however when we arrived at the hospital,the doctor had finished this morning”s work ,and told us to wait till they start work(n.) in the afternoon. I felt I made a wrong decision to ride a bike today. Actually riding a bike is a good transportation way,but it needs more time.  Maybe you need to have good judgement before making the decision to ride a bike.
