Task 2
Driving is one of those necessary skills that each person should possess if they wish to not get trapped in the“survival of the fittest” theory of life. You can start learning to drive when you are eighteen. Experience tells that the older you become， the harder it is to learn driving.
Learning to drive will be the very last thing in your mind， when you graduate from a university， and will be desperate looking for a job and stressing out on how to clear your student debt. So， the best way is to start out early on your path of taking driving lessons. Many of the teens in recent timesare opting to not drive. By this， you are really missing out on a huge part of growing up and losing out on a whole lot of benefits. One of the top reasons for not learning driving is the high costs of automatic driving lessons. But， we are here to tell you why you should overlook the costs and rather concentrate on the numerous advantages.
No need for public transport. Using public transport to get to any destination quickly is anything but convenient. If you know how to drive， you will never have to rely on public modes of transportation ever again. Relying on a bus or train to arrive smoothly on time rarely ever happens.
At times you aren’t or can’t be relying on public transportation. There are the times you are probably relying on a friend， or your parents for a ride. Knowing how to drive yourself will make you independent and you wouldn’t have to fit your plans according to other people’s schedules.
In the recent job world， there may be plenty of jobs out there which won’t mark you as an eligible candidate because you don’t know how to drive. These are the main benefits that knowing how to drive could bring into your life. So start going to driving school.
1. When is the best time to learn to drive according to the text？
A. When you are trapped.
B. When you are young.
C. After you have some experience.
D. After you leave university.
2. Why do some people give up learning to drive according to the text？
A. They are busy seeking for jobs.
B. They don’t see the advantages of driving.
C. They are unwilling to pay high costs.
D. They can’t concentrate on many things.
3. How does the author think of public transport？
A. Not expensive.
