My first driving lesson Today, it was my first driving lesson, I'm 16, in France the legal age to drive is 18, but there are an program: "supervised driving". I just used the steering wheel and my monitor made the rest. It was very difficult to turn the streering wheel correctly, I almost hit the pavement. Tommorow I'm gonna have 2 driving hours. I'm so impatient and hope slashed no one.

My First Driving Lesson [1]

Today, it was my first driving lesson. I'm 16 sixteen (years old), in France the legal age to drive driving age [2] is 18, [3]but there are an is a program: called "supervised driving" <em>[accompagnée = 'accompanied'/supervisée = supervised driving]</em>. I just only [4]used the steering wheel and while my driving monitor [5]made did the rest. It was very difficult to turn the streering wheel correctly, I almost hit the pavement. Tommorow I'm gonna going to have 2 driving hours of driving. I'm so impatient and hope I won't slashed no one anyone. <em>[slash someone = cut someone with a knife. maybe you mean 'cut someone off'?]</em>

 

<em>[1] Titles, names, and headings are always capitalized</em>

<em>[2] 'legal age to drink' 'legal age to smoke' 'legal age to drive' - VERY common problem. It should be 'drinking age', 'smoking age', 'driving age'</em>

<em>[3] Unless it's a big number or something technical/statistical/financial/legal, write it out in words. 18 is ok because you refer to something 'legal'.</em>

<em>[4] 'just' can also mean 'just (right) now'/'very recently' - in this case that's what it sounds like.</em>

<em>[5] Outside France, people don't know anything about the two driving program options - 'monitor' sounds like a computer screen in this case, you have to make it clear that it's a person.</em>

My First Driving Lesson

 

Today, it was my first driving lesson. I'm 16. In France the legal age to drive is 18, but there are is an program: called "Supervised Driving" that allows me to drive with supervision of another driver. In a simulation test, I just used the steering wheel and my the monitor made will do the rest. It was very difficult to turn the streering wheel correctly. I had almost hit the pavement. Tommorow I'm gonna going to have another two 2 hours of driving instructionhours. I'm so impatient and hope slashed not to crash into anyone.
