CONVERSATION 1

Conversation one.

W: Kyle, How did your drivers theory exam go? It was yesterday right?

M: Yes. I prepared as much as I could, but I was so nervous since it was my second trying. The people who worked at the test centre were very kind. Though we had a little conversation which calmed me down a bit. And that was just what I needed. Then after the exam they printed out my result but I was afraid to open it until I was outside. It was such a relief to pass.

W: Congratulations. I knew you could do it. I guess you underestimated how difficult it would be the first time, didn’t you? I hear a lot of people make that mistake and go in underprepared but good job in passing the second time. I'm so proud of you. Now all you have to do next is your road test. Have you had any lessons yet?

M: Yes. Thanks. I'm so happy to be actually on the road now. I've only had two driving lessons so far and my instructor is very understanding, so I'm really enjoying it and I can't wait for my next session although the lessons are rather expensive. 20 pounds an hour and the instructor says I'll need about 30 to 40 lessons in total, that’s what six to eight hundred pounds. So this time I'll need to make a lot more effort and hopefully we'll be successful the first time.

W: Well, good luck.
