LEaRning to riDE the CAR

Ow, what a very sunny sunday, 3 o'clock, the best time for taking a nap. But suddenly, my mother came and shouted,"Steven, Steven!". I did my best to come down as fast as possible. As soon as I got there, my mother asked me to go see my father. I asked," why should I?", and she answered,"Go there and learn to drive a car!". I was shocked. It was really crazy, in such the best condition to go to sleep, I had to drive a car?" My father delivered me to Setraduta, not too far from our home. After we found a suitable place to practice 'riding' the car, my father explained the theory,"First, step on to the kopling, change the gear, and release the kopling gently, after moving, for a little bit, step on the gas pedal, and there you go..." After 3 seconds to remember what had just my father said to me, I stepped on the kopling, I changed the gear, and then I released the kopling, suddenly, the car jumped. Fortunately, my right leg stepped on the break. I looked at my leg, and realized that I had not released the kopling gently. I got a 'tampolan' from my father. I tried again, I stepped on the kopling, changed the gear, released the kopling GENTLY, and step on the gas pedal. Suddenly, the car jumped again, and I relized that I stepped the gas pedal not gently. Again, my father gave me another 'tampolan'. Stressfuly, I did what had I done, but now with the gas pedal stepped GENTLY. The car moved on, but now very smooth and good.
I took on some round, and finally arrived at the end of the road. I was told by my father to step on the brake and make a U turn. However, again, I stepped on the brake too hard (not gently), and the car stopped suddenly. I and my father got knocked on the head. Again he told me to stepped on the brake gently. Now, I tried the U turn! Same, I stepped on the kopling, changed the gear into R, releasing the kopling gently, and hit the gas pedal gently. I went smooth, my father warned me, about a big hole one the road. I noticed that and finally, I changed the gear to 1 and went on.
After a 1 stressful hour, finally my father decided to go home. I thanked my father at home, and then I made my homework. Now, when I am writing this blog, I really want to have another hour for practicing the car.
