The streets seemed quite __1__ to me, and the test would take me down a main street. Although __2__, I was determined to do my best. Parallel parking was my __3__, so I hoped that my __4__ would not hit the curb (路缘).
When I was __5__ for the test, my father, __6__ being the best teacher, was not pleased with my parallel parking. His fearful __7__ could be heard along the streets of my hometown, or in the large empty parking lot.
I felt __8__ when he said, “Step on the gas! Check your mirror! __9__ on the brake!” I was convinced that no one could do all those things at the same time. I drove __10__ during my test, probably a little too slow. I kept my hands __11__ on the steering wheel (方向盘), __12__ my mirrors, stopped at stop signs and __13__ for turns. I was satisfied with my __14__ up to that point, but then it was time to parallel park.
__15__, the parking area had no curb. I __16__ next to a car and began to back inward. Somehow, I __17__ it on my first try, lining up right behind the car in front. Minutes later, the __18__ announced I had passed. I knew that my life had changed. I finally had __19__ the freedom of movement and felt a sense of __20__ after the test.
