A journey to be a nice driver "Why don't you get a driver license? try it as you have some time now." One day, Papa said. That time I didn't understand why I should do that since I don't have any car that I can drive along, any reason to drive a car. This story started from my experience in Indonesia last summer. My friends brought me to go-kart racing place and I tried once. And you know what? It was like I was addicted to it with so much fun, and one of my friends kept shooting my racing video in his phone and showed me laughing out loud. On the day I left Indonesia, I got a message like this: "Cebin, you left such a bad image of South Korean: Crazy driver, Hard drinker." - he was kidding anyway. After coming back to Korea, I thought 'Ok, I gotta drive. Maybe I'm talented? Even if I'm not, to get a driver license is gonna be worth it as I'm not waiting for someone who will drive for me with his car, but I will.' So today 8th of October, I have passed 70% of the whole process of getting my license. Next step is the most hardest part, but nothing scares me! ----- Hi friends, I'm here to start sharing my diary as I want to polish up my written english in readable, natural with minimum syntax error. Thanks for your help! :D

One day, Papa said, "Why don't you get a driver license? You should try as you have some time now." At that time I didn't understand why I should do that since I don't didn’t have any a car that I can drive along, nor a any reason to drive a car. 

This story started from my experience This all changed when I went to Indonesia last summer. My friends brought me to go-kart racing place and I tried once driving a go-kart. 
And you know what? It was like I was addicted to it with so much fun, and one of my friends kept shooting my racing video in his phone and showed me laughing out loud. 

On the day I left Indonesia, I got a message from my friend like this: "Cebin, you left such a bad image of South Koreans: Crazy driver, Hard drinker." - he was kidding anyway

After coming back to Korea, I thought 'Ok, I gotta learn how to drive. Maybe I'm talented? Even if I'm not, getting a drivers license is gonna be worth it as I'm not I won’t have to waiting for someone who will to drive for me in with their car, but I will.' 

So as of today, the 8th of October, I have passed completed 70% of the whole process of to getting my license. The next step is the hardest one, but nothing scares me!

Notes:

 

<ol><li>Normally you will add the person who said the quote at the beginning.  You can put it as the end but if you want to you should change the structure to, “…’ my father told me one day.”</li><li>In English, I don’t think we use “do” as much.  You can say “…why I should learn” and it would be fine.</li><li>“At that time” is past tense, so it needs to be “didn’t” not “don’t”.</li><li>By “reason” did you mean “interest”?</li><li> “This story started from my experience”:  This would only make sense if your father said, “Why don’t you get a driver’s license?” while you were in Indonesia.</li><li>“like this” isn’t really used in this way.</li><li>“anyway” is used to mean “in any case”.  But you don’t have a reason to write this word.  You need a clause at the beginning that necessitates the use of anyway.  “I have thick skin, so these types of things don’t bother me, and he was kidding anyway.”</li><li>‘I’m not’ is present tense, but you are talking about the future.</li><li>Passed is used for tests.  It means you got better than a minimum score.  It does not mean you have completed something.</li></ol>

 

Good work.  If you have questions let me know.
