早上好。今天是一个重要的日子。我的驾照考试。我有点紧张,但是我已经准备好了。考官会说什么?你会学会如何在驾照考试中心自信地交流,了解考试过程。准备好了吗?

今天早上,我来到驾照考试中心。人很多。我先去报名。柜台小姐问我叫什么名字,还有我的预约号。我告诉她我的名字和预约时间。她给我一张表格,让我填写。我认真地填完表格,然后坐在等候区。我的心跳有点快,我感到有点紧张。这是我第一次来这里考试。我看到其他考生也在安静地等待,他们看起来也很认真。我一直在心里复习驾驶规则,想着一会儿考官会说什么。突然,一个声音叫了我的名字。

Let's pause our story for a moment and look at some useful phrases from that first part.

  • 驾照考试 (jiàzhào kǎoshì) — driving license test, 我今天有驾照考试。
  • 报名 (bàomíng) — to register/sign up, 我需要去报名。

  • 紧张 (jǐnzhāng) — nervous, 我有点紧张。, 好了,现在让我们回到我的驾照考试,看看接下来发生了什么。

我的名字!我站起来,走向一位穿制服的考官。他很严肃。他让我上车,检查我的证件。我启动汽车。考官说:“请往前开,然后左转。” 我按照他的指示,小心地驾驶。考官又说:“现在,请路边停车。” 我记得教练说过,停车时要看后视镜。在中国,驾照考试很严格。我深吸一口气,慢慢地把车停好。考官看着我,点点头。几分钟后,他说:“好,我们回考试中心。” 我回到中心,忐忑地等待结果。最后,考官微笑着对我说:“恭喜你,你通过了!” 我的心终于放下来了。今天真的很顺利!
