Cycling through the rain into the sunshine
Several days ago, I bought a new bicycle because I was tired of waiting for the bus. Unfortunately, it's a rainy summer in Beijing. Last Wednesday, it rained when I was riding my bicycle to work. "It won't be a pleasant journey," I thought until I noticed that it was sunny in the west. I was so glad. It felt like I was cycling, cycling through the rain and into the sunshine.
Thoughts: bus is an object, so we typically place 'The' or 'A' in front of it, depending on the context. In this case, "The bus," a specific bus you wait for. "A bus," would refer to any bus at all.
Commas are typically used whenever you feel a slight pause about what you read. For instance: "Hello, my name is Michael, how are you?" verse "Hello. My name is Michael. How are you?" Periods use slightly more drawn out pauses.
If you've noticed, whenever you quote, the first word should be capitalized. That will never change. How you end the quote will, though. If you continue with the sentence, a short pause is required for fluid reading. "What a wonderful day," he thought to himself. If you wish to end the dialogue, or end on a quote, proper puncuation is required. He knew what he had to say, "Stop! Don't go, I love you!"
You mispelled noticed, but that's not a big deal. Also, the work "I" alone is capitalized.
The next mistake is one that is a tad more advanced. Tenses. Past tense such as: was, saw, walked. vs Future tense: see, am, will.
I walked to the store
I will walk to the store
I am on my way
I was on my way
I saw you
I will see you
The past part was complicated, I'm not quite sure how to describe it and what I corrected may not even be what you intended.
Sorry this is so long, hope I helped!
