[00:11.05]Do you think that the writer passed his driving test? Why? [00:18.03]I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time. [00:23.38]I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully. [00:30.18]After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence. [00:37.95]Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test. [00:45.04]The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, 'Just one more thing Mr. Eames.
