Access to English - Starting out - 15 - LEARNING TO DRIVE (text)

2013.03.03. 23:34 aforizmágus

Two small boys in a canoe brought the boat back to the island after about three quarters of an hour and Arthur rowed the boat back to the bridge. He didn’t row very quickly because this time it was upstream and Arthur wasn’t very good at rowing anyway. Sheila steered and Mary sat next to Michael. They arrived back at the bridge by eight o’clock.

Because they were all wet and miserable they went home immediately. Mary didn’t even say goodnight to Arthur. When Arthur got home, he went straight to bed.

The following morning it was still wet so Arthur didn’t get up until twelve o’clock. Then he had lunch and sat in front of the television for the rest of the day. He didn’t go out and he didn’t even have a shave.

On of the programmes on the television was about learning to drive. What a good idea! - Arthur thought and so the next day he went along to the Licence Office in his lunch hour and got a Provisional Driving Licence. Then he went to the Driving School and made an appointment for his first lesson on Wednesday evening.

***

- Good evening. My name’s Newton. I’ve come for my driving lesson.

- Sorry. What was your name again?

- Arthur Newton. Here’s the card. You gave it to me on Monday.

- Oh, yes. That’s right, Mr Newton. I remember now. Did you get your licence by the way?

- Yes, here it is.

- Good, that’s fine. Do sit down for a minute. Mr Taylor, your instructor, is out with another pupil at the moment. You are a bit early, actually. Ah, that’s him now.

- My God, Elsie! I had a terrible time with Mrs What’s-her-name. She nearly drove the car into a brick wall just now. Is my hair completely white? Oh, hello.

- This is your new pupil, Mr Taylor. Mr Taylor - Mr Newton.

- How do you do, Mr Newton. Have you ever driven before?

- Well I had some lessons from my father once but after a few lessons he refused to continue.

- Oh, I see. Well, are you ready, then? Let’s go.

***

- Now, then. Did you ever learn about the controls?

- Yes, I did but I think I’ve forgotten them now.

- Well, anyway, this is the steering-wheel, as you know, and these pedals are - the clutch on the left here, and that’s for your left foot, the middle one’s the foot-brake and the one on the right’s the accelerator. You use your right foot for both the brake and the accelerator. This the hand-brake and that’s the gear-lever. OK?

- I think so, but what’s the clutch for?

- When you put your foot down on the clutch, you can change gear. Now, start the car. Make sure it’s in neutral first. All right.

- Now?

- Yes, go on.

- Like this?

- Yes … Now switch off. Well, you didn’t do too badly that time. Now try again. Put your foot on the accelerator and press down a tiny bit … Switch off again. Now for the gears. This is first - up here; second’s down like this and third’s up and to the right like this, and forth’s straight down. Don’t worry about reverse just yet.

- My father’s car didn’t have the gear-lever here. It was up here.

- You mean on the steering-column. Anyway, now try to start the car again. Put it into first gear and move off. But first check your mirror and put on your right indicator. That’s the lever there. Are you ready? Now!
