The pleasure of driving I got my driving licence very late. I was twentyfour years old and I failed the practical test several times. It was surprising for me because I hoped it would be easier than it was. However, I failed the practical exams for three times. (It was easy. What happened was I was dullish) Few years later and after a lot of kilometers I can say that I love driving. Of course I hate the trafic jam, and driving when I am in a hurry. And I can´t stand to find no lot to park mi car in my small town. But I love the independence of movement that my car gives me. When I´m alone in my car, and I have even a short trip to do, I enjoy these moments... Music never sounds as well as it does inside my car. I can sing as loud as I want and nobody can hear me. It´s a great moment!!!

The pleasure of driving

I got my driving licence very late. I was twenty four years old and I failed the practical test several times.

It was surprising for me because I had hoped it would be easier than it was. However, I failed the practical exams three times. (It was easy. What happened was I was dullish) <----What do you mean? I think this is an incorrect word.

A few years later and after a lot of driving for how many kilometers I can say that I love driving. Of course I hate traffic jams, and driving when I am in a hurry. And I can´t stand not finding (some verbs end in either 'to verb' or '-ing' verb. Can't stand always ends in -ing verb) a place to park my car in my small town. But I love the freedom of movement(English collocation. The same reason why we say take or have a bath and not do a bath) that my car gives me. When I´m alone in my car, and even if I have a short trip to make, (verbs that go with trip- take a trip and make a trip...do a trip is incorrect) I enjoy these moments... Music never sounds as well as it does inside my car. I can sing as loud as I want and nobody can hear me. It´s a great moment!!!

from Paul- We're the opposite. I absolutely hate driving! I prefer taking the train than driving myself to my destination.

Thanks Sheila!! I will never forget the hyphen.

When writing numbers between 21 and 99, you must use a hyphen (-). 24: twenty-four 29: twenty-nine 64: sixty-four 99: ninety-nine
