Task 1-Your friend is thinking about learning to drive and would like some advice. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter • say why a driving licence is advantageous • recommend a driving school • give any extra guidance/tips
Dear Paritosh,
I’m so glad to hear you’re thinking about learning to drive! Having a license offers amazing freedom—you’re no longer tied to bus schedules, and you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. Plus, if you ever need to commute to a new city, it’ll make life much easier.
For a driving school, I highly recommend DriveSmart in Kenowa—it’s where I went, and the instructors are fantastic. They let me work with the same instructor throughout, which helped me feel confident and prepared. Their in-person theory classes are
also
very efficient, wrapping up faster than the online ones.
One tip: practice as much as possible, especially parking and handling different road situations. It’ll make a big difference when you’re driving alone for the first time.
Let me know how it goes! I’m sure you’ll do great, and I’m excited for you to get on the road.
Yours lovingly,
