today I'm going to write about my last stressful experience which was the Driving License's exam. I had my exam last friday, March 18th 2016 at 7 a.m ! I was very stressed and annoyed by the last few days before that big event.. People who had to take that exam know what I mean.. After long months of preparation at my driving school I had to show my knowledge, skills and above all my self-control and focusing to the examiner , who totally frightened me. I was very self-confident and sure of my skills but during passing such exams people behave differently. Although, I had to wait for my turn over an hour I tried not to think in a negative way. Finally I was called by the examiner and we both started the exam.
At the beginning I had to get ready to drive a car: I had to fasten my seat belts, adjust the mirrors and the driver's seat, press the cluth, start the engine and switch on the ignition and the lights, put the car in gear and take the handbrake off. When I was ready the examiner wanted me to move on and cross a piece of square in the front and back. I did it without any trouble and then came the next assignment, sliding up on the hill with using the handbrake. That also wasn't a problem for me. After doing well these two tasks, I drove to the city. I'm not going to explain to all of you where and how I was driving during the exam, but I did everythnig correctly. I often had to brake, watch the signs and the colour of the lights on the roads. I also used the right and left indicator and I watched what was happening on the road by the side-view mirrors. I was driving on the junction and made a U-turn.
The whole exam lasted about an hour, another hour.. I think it lasted quite long, but there were many traffic jams. The time was passing and I didn't even notice when it passed.
At the end of the exam the examiner wanted me to stop the car and park on the square. At first I didn't know what to expect but the man told me quickly that I passed the exam and congratulated me. I was very shocked but unimaginably happy. This is a kind of feeling that people who haven't had such an exam don't understand and imagine. :)
Now I have to wait about two or three weeks and I'm going to get the document. After that I will finally buy and drive my own car !
I feel so happy and for surely, passing such an difficult and stressful exam gave me the power and big self-confidence. To be honest, I believe that nowadays having the driving license is very useful and important. You can move everywhere you want very quickly and without wainting long minutes or even hours at the bus stops. There are of course traffic jams and air pollution, but the advantages of driving a car are very compelling.
I relize that the whole post is full of difficult automobile words, but this may encourage you to assimilate these interesting phrases and words. :)
At the end of the post let's watch such an absurd video, that will problably make you feel funny and relaxed.:)
Thank you for reading!
