Last one night,a police officer was waiting outside a noisy bar to look into possible bad behaviors.At closing time,a man walked out unsteadily,fell off the sidewalk,and tried his keys in five different cars before he found his.Then he sat in the front seat trying to star this car for quite a few minutes.Everyone else left the bar and drove off.Finally,he started his engine and began to pull away.The police officer came over,stopped his car,and asked him to do the breath alcohol test.The test results showed a reading of 0.00.“This is strange,”the officer thought.He wondered how that could be.The driver replied,“Tonight I’m asked to act as if lam drunk.Now they are all safe!”

Learning to drive isn’t as simple as people think.First, you need a good teacher.Its better to have lessons from a qualified driving instructor.These lessons are expensive, however, but it is worth the money.
Proper instructors have special cars, with extra mirrors and special controls, such as an extra brake pedal.They can use this if you have problems and stop the car themselves.This gives you confidence when you.re learning.
As well as worrying about how to use all the controls, looking in the mirrors and deciding where you.re going, you have to workout what other drivers are doing.That’s why its better to learn to drive in the countryside on quiet roads rather than busy roads in town centers
You shouldn.t spend too long on your first lessons, as there.s a lot to remember.It.s better to start with two or three one-hour lessons a week, then have one two-hour lesson a week after that.Of course, you also need to get as much extra practice as possible.Ask patient people to help you though.Then you need to decide on the route before you set off It.s also a good idea to discuss what you want to practise each time.Make it clear you don.t want any surprises.
Concentrate on one thing at a time and you.ll quickly become a confident driver.

One study in the United States found that thirty-eight percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends.

England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate.  People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country, except for the summer months of June to September.  This is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands.  In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is thesouthwest, which consists of the countries of Devon and Cornwall.  The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm.  Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical plants grow well in the southwest of England.  Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere.  Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier.  In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest.  This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England.s most popular holiday areas.
