There were 9 parts in the driving test and if you lost the exam you will have 5 chance to retake the driving test. I was very frustrated. This was my first time. That was on the road. I took 2 days leave. I practise for 2 hours before the test so I did a good practice and my teacher was very pleased with me. 10 days later you can register for the test again. My teacher ask me to register in September. Parking is the first part in the driving test. I can park very quickly. You did a good job so he didn’t worry about me. It’s the easiest part in the driving test. It will be easy if I get the car license so that I can bring my daughter to school.

The ideal life is one that many people would like to pursue. It’s difficult to overcome the balance between dreams and reality. I don’t like to devote my life to working and unable to separate myself from my work. I prefer to change the values of my life that I can go back to school to study something I enjoy, instead of for how much money it can bring. This is not impossible as I am never too old to study. The most important thing is my ideal life is to come together with people you love for meals. It’s not only you are eating something delicious, but also something you have made and prepared together.
