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.

阿美: 我现在马上就去报名。你知道有什么培训学校吗？

爸爸: 我不是很清楚。你可以上网查查。

阿美: 好的。看啊，我输入了“驾校”，然后出来了这么多结果。

爸爸: 让我看看，碧体培训学校，暑期项目，3，000元，一个月内学会驾驶，三个月内拿到驾照。

阿美: 3，000元有点贵。

爸爸: 我想是的。看看下一个：3，500元，暑期项目。不看这个了。

阿美: 我听说完美生活培训学校很有名。他们开设很多项目和课程，收费也很合理。

爸爸: 上网查查，看看能不能找到更多关于它的信息。

阿美: 啊，找到了。完美生活培训学校，项目包括：烹饪、园艺、时装设计、社会公共服务、计算机等等。哦，他们不提供驾驶课程。
