I was busy with my driving classes, and last week I had my driving exam.

I look forward to not having to ask my parents to give me rides everywhere.

I will be able to drive my friends around, too.

It will help me with my independence big time.

Driving will give you a good start in life, and it opens a lot more doors.

I'm sure I'll have more job opportunities now.

Actually, I've just applied for a part-time job.

I got my permit two weeks ago, but I haven't been able to practice yet.

Well, I hope you get a chance to drive soon.

Hey, I'm having a birthday party next Friday.

Please let me know if I can help you with the party.

Best of luck and safe driving in your new car.

He said he'd been busy with his driving classes.

He was very proud of passing his exam the previous week, and I congratulated him.

He said he looked forward to not having to ask his parents to give him rides everywhere.

He was excited about being able to drive his friends around, too.

He said it would help him with his independence big time.

He also told me that he had just applied for a part-time job.

I think he needs to save money for a college.

He wanted to know if I had started practicing driving.

Did you tell him that you were learning to drive?

Then I invited him to come to my birthday party, and he promised to come.

Before we parted, I wished him the best of luck and safe driving in his new car.

I'm calling to tell you that I won't be able to come to your birthday party.

I had a car accident yesterday, and unfortunately, I broke my arm.

At one intersection, I was turning left when another driver who ignored a stop sign hit me.

My car overturned, my arm was crushed against the door, and the airbag bruised my face.

I'm disappointed about that, but I'm really happy to be alive.

I just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to come to your birthday party.

How long will you be staying in the hospital?

I'm not sure, but I think I'll have to stay for a few more days.

Peter called last night and announced to me that he would not be able to come to my party.
