Driving test! Today I had my driving test, I felt I was ready for it, I had studied the manual for weeks, and I already had approved the writing test. I just had to take the second part of it, the road test. I wasn't nervous at all, actually I was very confident of myself, I had done that several times, and for someone experienced who already had the driver license from their country seems like a piece of cake. That's how I felt, so I woke up really early, and went to the department of public safety, to be the first one, and didn't have to wait in the line. The things changed when I was there in front of the supervisor, I started to feel nervous!. The first thing she asked me to do after doing all the inspections to my vehicle, was to parallel park, which was fine for me I knew how to do it, so I looked at the mirror, I put one hand on the passenger's seat, the other one on the wheel, I looked behind, and I proceeded to go in reverse slowly, and I did it just perfect. Then she told me drive straight out of the parking area, and I remember I thought the hard part is over!. The next I did was to drive around the neighborhood, then we got into a road that didn't had any mark of double lane or anything like that, not even a sign, so I supposed it was a one way road. Then I looked the parking vehicles, and saw it was a two way traffic, so I took the right lane quickly, but It was too late, she already had marked it. After that there was a stop sign, and I stopped and looked both sides of the street, and went straight, I saw her writing something again. After that, we went back to the parking. The next she told me was that I was failed, and that I had to take the test again, she told me my mistakes. One of those I was surprised because she told me that when I did the parallel parking I must have had both hands on the wheel, which I didn't new, I've always been told to do it that way, and now she told me the opposite, I got confused. The next mistake was obviously, because I drove in the wrong way of the lane, and the last one, that I didn't look there were many trees in that stop, and that It was impossible to see the cars coming from both sides of the street, so she told me I didn't look. After that I was really disappointed, I still have 2 more chances, but I'ts a shame to fail when you already know how to drive. I guess they are too strict in this country, some rules are different.

One more correction: In the first paragraph, you should say "I already had passed the writing test," not "I already had approved the writing test." Example of "passed": I passed the writing test. Example of "approved": My mother approved of me meeting my curfew.

Haha lo siento. Tu Inglés es muy bien. Mucho mejor que mi Español. English is my native language and I studied English in school. Estoy muy estricto. ;) Keep up your hard work in both writing and driving. You'll do great!
