PART 2 · LESSON 16 OF 30 · 31 MINUTES

I Was Looking!

Saturday the eighth of April 2028, the sixteenth lesson of this level. Two in the afternoon, a two-hour driving lesson. The quays along the river, three roundabouts where the car inside goes first, and the tram, which always has priority. Three o'clock, a crossroads with no sign and no light, a tram on the left, a car on the right, and Emma about to go through without looking. Four o'clock, a cancellation, and the driving test is Thursday the twentieth of April, in twelve days. Say you were about to go through and I was in the middle of looking, with the was form, and I've told you twice.

THE STORY

Saturday the eighth of April 2028, two in the afternoon, the little white car of the driving school, for two hours this time. The quays along the river, three roundabouts and the tram; a crossroads with no sign and no light, where Emma was looking at the tram and not at the right; and the desk at four, the instructor's phone, a cancellation, and a date for the driving test. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
