[2024 江苏响水质检] I look at my watch. It’s 1:00 p. m. My train is half an hour late. I left home at 11:00 a. m. I may arrive in Liverpool at about 4:00 p. m. Then I’ll be late for my dance class with my teacher, Mrs Jerome. I ask myself, “Why can’t I drive?” I can get to Liverpool a lot quicker and life can be easier if I drive there. In fact, I asked myself every time I failed my driving test and I have failed it four times now.
The first time, I took my test when I was 18. I did OK, but I couldn’t park the car. I tried to park it three times, but I just did it really badly.
The second time, I wanted to finish the test so quickly that I drove too fast! I should drive at 60 kilometres an hour, but I drove at 75.
The third time, I was coming out of the parking lot and I hit another car. Of course, I failed the test.
The fourth time, I was really nervous. I couldn’t sleep during the night before the test and I didn’t feel well in the morning. It took me five minutes just to start the car and the test was really terrible.
After that, I decided not to take the test again and to just take the train everywhere.
