30、ngs that they should be learning from, such as when they committed (犯) a crime.

Im not a natural teacher, as

36、 I am easily bored and quickly get angry. Worse, Im not a natural driver. I even failed my first attempt to get a license.

37、th an eye for traffic signs. Still, there were enough narrow misses, and by the time it was his younger sisters turn, my nerves were already shot. My daughter is bright and talented, but on the roads, she sort of freestyles. Even after hours of professional driving lessons, her every move behind the

Even if she passes her test, whos to say she wont forget the next red light as soon as shes out there on her own? One of my friends has refused to teach her daughter

40、to drive as she is “just not responsible enough” to be on the road. A middle-aged friend of mine gave up trying to get his license after the eighth failed attempt and an evident lack (缺乏) of skill. We take it for granted that everyone should drive, but perhaps there are some people who just shouldnt

41、 be behind a wheel. What if my daughter is one of them?Well, I dont know. At least not yet. But in these dark times, one thought springs to mind.
