Today is my day off.

After nine o’clock, if you drive to the company, there will be no free parking space for me.
If you arrive at the company after 9, there won’t be/there might not be any free parking for me.

I’m not confident about my driving skills which I need to drive more to ensure the safety.
I’m not confident about my driving skills which I need to practice more to ensure the safety of myself and others on the road.

Write about something you would like to try but haven’t yet

There is one thing on the top of my wishlist is to have a road trip with my family. My parents are retired so it’s time for them to have a good rest and enjoy their life. It’s convenient to travel in cities by public transportation while in rural area it’s better to drive by myself. There are lots of famous roads with magnificent scene such as Gold Coast in Australia and Route 1 in USA. We can stop by anywhere we like to, to take some pictures or to get some local food comparing with traveling with travel agent, we will have more free time and more destination choices.
The reason why it’s still on my list is that I just got my drive license last year and I have rarely chance to drive a car as I’m trying to bid for a Shanghai car plate. It’s hard battle because every month the rate of success is only 5%. I’m not confident about my drive skills which I need to drive more to ensure the safety.
Once I have the car I will drive my parents to some scenic points near Shanghai and I believe in the near future when we can travel abroad, we can enjoy the long vacation by self-driving.
