On
receiving my learner driver license a couple of months ago, I started driving
lessons straight away. In New Zealand, the __33__ driving age is 15.
However it wasn't __34__ two days ago that Dad finally allowed me to drive on
the motorway. Our __35__ was Orewa, a seaside town about 60 kilometers away
from my home in Auckland. That morning I __36__ sure I had enough to drink and
went to the toilet (廁所) about
three times __37__ we left. I thought I was totally __38__ for the journey, but
nothing could have prepared me for my family's __39__. "Relax! Don't hold
the steering wheel (方向盤(pán)) so
__40__. The car is going zigzag (彎彎曲曲的),"
called a nervous voice from the __41__. "Speed up. 70km/h isn't fast enough. You are holding up the traffic," another voice ordered from the seat next to mine.
How
__42__ ! My parents were really starting to get on my nerves. To satisfy them I
sped up and within a second, an angry voice began to yell again. "Stop!
__43__! Are you crazy? ” Everything did not go fine until I pulled off the
motorway and drove into the city, __44__ the speed limit was only 50km/h.
My
family seemed relieved (放心的) and
__45__ telling me what to do. They all looked out of the windows and enjoyed
the scenery . __46__, that silence didn't last very long. My mum suddenly
cried out, "Look at those birds above us. __47__ they lovely?"
How
did she expect me to look up in the __49__? As the driver I had to __48__ . Who
knows what would have happened if I had taken my eyes off the __50__? Four
hours later we drove home. This time the journey was much __51__ than before as
everyone else __52__ fast asleep. So, I just took my time and enjoyed the
drive.
