My Driving Test

Last week, on Friday at 11:45 I had a driving licence test. I was very nervous. Yesterday I prayed to god. "If I don't pass this time, I will give up on the licence. It was the fourth time. I was ashamed.

Next morning I prayed again. The inspector was not kind. With a deep baritone voice he said "right turn, left turn, reverse". I didn't really like it. I was still praying "help me god , help me god" to calm myself down. I was too thirsty, too. It looked like 24 hours.

At last we arrived at the R.T.A. The inspector said "park here and wait". I waited for 10 minutes. He came back and told me " You passed!" I didn't believe it. I asked him again and he repeated
"You passed! " I was surprised, excited and amazed. That day I couldn't sleep. I had peace. Thanks God.

gas

HelloBetty, Let me tell you what happened to me last week.
I have a problem with my gas stove. The control knob bloke while Iwas cooking .
I turned off gas at the meter. That meant I had no hot water or heating, whitch made the house cold. Because it was Saturday night the Estate agent was closed.
Irangthe landlord emergency number but he was out and I got the answering machine.
Then I had to call a plumber to fix my stove. So I could use the gas again.
The plumber came, repaired the stove, gas turned back on. He charged me $ 200.
I am going to take the $200bill the Estate agent on Monday.

They have four seasons. It is Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.In Summer, it is very hot and in Winter, itis very cold. Autume is very beautiful season. A many colourful leaves fall on the road. It's very gorgeous.

Over the years the Capital city has continued to grow as a political, economic, cultural and educational centre. Now Seoul is the world's 10th- largest city.

It's past and present live together. There are many Palaces, City gates, Shrines and Gardens. The old city was surrounded by four inner mountains and outter mountains in the North, East and WEst. There were originally inside the Castle walls of the ancient Capital.

Now there are a lot of high rise buildings, high apartments, huge buildings and departmentstores
