[00:01.080]--- Lesson 69 But not murder!
[00:06.880]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:13.160]--- Do you think that the writer passed his driving test? why?
[00:22.400]I was being tested for a driving licence for the third time.
[00:28.760]I had been asked to drive in heavy traffic and had done so successfully.
[00:35.480]After having been instructed to drive out of town, I began to acquire confidence.
[00:43.480]Sure that I had passed, I was almost beginning to enjoy my test.
[00:50.680]The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said,
[00:57.960]'Just one more thing, Mr.Eames.^“
[01:01.640]Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you.
[01:08.680]As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.'
[01:17.400]I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly.
[01:25.360]Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react.
[01:33.520]I suddenly pressed the brake pedal hard and we were both thrown forward.
[01:41.120]The examiner looked at me sadly.
[01:45.800]'Mr.Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice, 'you have just killed that child!'^“
