Sarah: Hello, Jack. How are the driving lessons going?

Jack: Hi, Sarah. They’re fine, but I’m not sure if I like the teacher much. He's not very friendly, really. But I don't suppose that matters too much. He is good at explaining things and I always understand what he wants me to do.

Sarah: That’s the important thing.

Jack: But last lesson I had to practise stopping the car quickly - in an emergency - and we also spent some time parking. I’ve still got a lot to learn. Parking was easy, but I couldn’t manage to stop the car quickly enough.

Sarah: It is quite hard the first few times because you have to think very fast.

Jack: Well, I’ve got three more lessons before my test, and I’m sure I’ll be fine on the day.

Sarah: You’re feeling confident then?

Jack: Well, it doesn’t help to get worried about it, does it?

Sarah: Not really. But three lessons aren’t that many.

You’ve only been learning for a couple of months, haven’t you?

Jack: Yes. But the lessons are really expensive.

Sarah: I know, but if you don’t get enough practice before the test, you might fail. It could be more difficult than you think. Can’t your parents take you out to practise?

Jack: They won’t do it any more. We went out a few times but they're worried about their car.

Sarah: You could use mine. It’s quite old and I don’t worry about other people driving it. I passed my test a long time ago, so I can go with you to help you improve.

Jack: Are you sure?

Sarah: Yes. It’s fine. Is Sunday all right? I can pick you up about four.

Jack: OK then. Thanks. I’m hoping to get my own car soon. I could never save enough to pay for one myself, but my parents have promised to buy me one if I pass my test. But I need to pass first, and a bit more help would be really good.

Sarah: See you on Sunday then.
