if block should finalize with one end. Checking a condition with elsif and leaving all other possible cases to be handled with else statement are all parts of the same if block. One other very important thing.. you should introduce a parameter in your function, which you can replace with variables when you call the function for later use.
So, it should read something like this:
def check_speed(speed)
# check if speed is above 55 & print output accordingly.
# check else if speed is below 55 & print output accordingly.
# check all other options & print output accordingly....
# well, there is only one remaining alternative outcome.
# speed is an integer, right? :)
end
I hope this helps.
