VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [W]

Homework

Talk about driving in detail and use some of the vocabulary from today.

Writing exercise

Yesterday I entered a driving test, but I haven’t passed. My driving was too bad and I almost forgot I have learned. I can’t control the car and I was too nervous. I remember last time I did well but after that I haven’t driven for more than half a month. I think driving a car most like riding a bike. If you can ride a bike you will never forget even though you haven’t ride for a year. Maybe because I’m not learning very well and I haven’t practice too much. It’s my fault. Through this I think about the other tests I have done or I will do in the future, I must be fully prepared and have a good attitude. That is I learned from this test.
