What it was?
How did you complete it?
Why it was difficult?
And how you felt about doing it?
In our life, we do so many difficult things knowingly and unknowingly. For some difficult tasks, we get appreciation and some remain unnoticed by others.
Last year I passed my driving test. I was the last one in my group of friends to do this – and they all thought it was arduous task – so I was expecting a difficult time preparing for it.
I got my sister to ask me lots of questions about the information to make sure I could respond correctly and knew all about the rules of the road and what to do in certain situations and things like that.
I booked some lessons with a driving instructor and, personally, I found driving very easy. That might be because I had always been fascinated by watching my father drive the car when I was little, and, in fact, after the third lesson my driving instructor said that I was a natural driver.
After a few more lessons I applied for the road test and I was a little nervous on the day – but everything went very well and after the test had finished the examiner informed me that I had passed – and done it very well on the first attempt – which most people don’t do.
He congratulated me and I was extremely happy and all my friends were surprised when I told them because most of them had done the test more than once in order to pass.
So I had been the most successful in passing the driving test in my group of friends.
My family arranged a special celebration for me because they were so happy about how well I had done in the test.
