I had great time during summer vacation because I could make many good memories with my boyfriend and friends, but my best memory is getting my driver’s license. When I could get it, I thought I grew up a little because I couldn’t imagine me driving a car before I got it. Let me introduce my driving school life to you.
First day, I was very nervous because I drove a car for the first time this day. I had sweat on my hands. I couldn’t drive a car well in the beginning because I couldn’t imagine where the car tires passed, so I dropped the tires into ditches many times, but I could get used to drive a car in a few days and I enjoyed driving a car with my teacher. I studied about traffic safety, traffic signs, traffic rules and so on every day and I could pass computer test and four kinds of written tests easily. I could get temporary driver’s license at last. I was very glad. I thought it is easy for me to get driver’s license, but I couldn’t find many difficult problems at that time.
Next stage is driving in the road. I was more nervous than first day because I thought there are many dangers in the road. I always passed at Route23. The speed limit on this road is 60 kilometers an hour, but I was afraid of driving a car at this speed in the beginning. My teacher said to me, “You must drive at a steady speed of 60 kilometers per hour.” I said to him, “I can’t do it. I’m afraid”. I tried to drive a car at this speed and I could get used to this speed. I gradually drove a car fast. When I looked a speed meter, I drove a car at speed of 70 kilometers per hour. Of course, my teacher said to me, “Miss Sugiura, Be careful. Don’t drive too fast.” So, I was careful not to drive too fast. It was difficult for me to memorize how to get to destinations because I have no sense of direction. I made desperate efforts to memorize it. We must pass computer test and written test until we take a graduation examination and I passed two kinds of tests, but I failed computer test once. Maybe, I did not study enough.
It was rainy day on the day of graduation examination. First, I took a proficiency examination. I was very nervous because the fact is I failed this test once, too, but I was happy girl that day because my test course was very easy and I could pass this test. I was very glad. Next, I took a written test, but I failed this test because this test the ratio of successful applicants is 10 percent, so I wasn’t sad. I thought I could pass next test, but I failed next test, too. I read textbook every night, so I didn’t know why I couldn’t pass this test. I took this test four times and I could pass this test at last. I was very glad. When I could get temporary driver’s license, I thought it is easy for me to get driver’s license, but it was difficult for me to get it.
After a few days, I went to Tsu City in order to take a test and get driver’s license. My driving school tests were very difficult, so I thought this test was very easy. I thought I observe the speed limit and I want gold license. I want to become good driver, so I want to practice driving a car hard.
