May: Dad, I want to learn how to drive this summer vacation.
Dad: That’s a good idea. You’d better hurry up before they’ve filled all classes. Many people are learning how to drive now.
May: I will get registered now at once. Do you know any training schools?
Dad: I am not sure. You can search for them on the Internet.
May: OK. look, I’ve typed “driver schools”, and there are so many results coming out.
Dad: Let me see. BeeTee Tranining School, summer program, 3,000 Yuan, learn how to drive within one month, and get driver’s license within three months.
May: 3,000 Yuan is a little bit steep.
Dad: I think so. Let’s see the next one: 3,500 Yuan, summer program. Forget it.
May: I’ve heard that the Ideal Life School is famous. They offer many programs and there are many classes available. The charge is also fair.
Dad: Search on the Internet then, see if we can find something more about it.
May: Ah, got it. Ideal Life School, programs: cooking, gardening, fashion designing, social services, computer…Oh, no, they don’t offer driver’s programs.
Dad: Don’t worry. Let’s check out some other schools.
May: Hey, dad, I’ve found another one. Going Training School, summer program, learn to drive in three months, 2,800 Yuan.
Dad: That sounds not bad. Where is it?
May: No. 3 Broadgate Street. It’s not far from here.
Dad: Good, we can go there tomorrow and find out more about the summer program.
