Reading Part 4 Read the text about learning to drive and answer the questions. Put a circle around the letter of the correct reply. First look at the example. Example: Learning to drive is a) b) c) d) easy. difficult. simple. Impossible.

Learning to Drive
Learning to drive is not as simple as people think. First, you need a good teacher. Some people ask a friend or a family member to help, but it is better to have lessons from a qualified driving instructor. These lessons are expensive, however, and can cost anything from 17 to 25 an hour. The instructors have special cars, so if you have problems, they are able to take over and drive the car. This gives you confidence when you are learning, which is important, as drivers who are very nervous are not good drivers. The best drivers are careful but relaxed, confident but not reckless. One of the main problems you will meet is other road users. As well as worrying about how to change gear and steer and decide where you are going, you have to work out what other drivers are doing. This is why it is better to learn to drive on quiet roads where there is not much traffic, rather than busy roads in town centres. Private roads or small villages are better than crowded streets or dual carriageways. You should not spend too long on your first lessons, as there is a lot to remember. It is better to start with two, three or even four, one-hour lessons a week than have one two-hour or three-hour lesson each week.
