W: Kyle, (8)how did your driver's theory exam go? It was yesterday, right?
M: Yes, I've prepared as much as I could. But I was so nervous since it was my second trial. The people who worked at the test center were very kind though. We had a little conversation which calmed me down a bit, and that was just what I needed. Then, after the exam, they printed out my result. But I was afraid to open it until I was outside. I was such a relief that I passed.
W: Congratulations! I knew you could do it. (9)I think you underestimated how difficult it would be the first time, didn't you? I hear a lot of people make that mistake and go in underprepared. But good job in passing the second time. I'm so proud of you. Now, all you have to do next is your road test. Have you had any lessons yet?
M: Yes, thanks. I'm so happy to be actually on the road now. I've only had two driving lessons so far, and my instructor is very understanding. So, I'm really enjoying it. I can't wait for my next session. (10)Although the lessons are rather expensive. 20 pounds an hour, and the instructor says I'll need above 30-40 lessons in total, that's what? 6-8 hundred pounds. (11)So, this time, I'll need to make a lot more effort, and hopefully, I'll be successful the first time.
W: Well, good luck.
