Hi Alecia,

Thank you for sharing with us your learning experience with driving. China’s driving test is different from that of Canada. I had failed four times in the road test until I finally got the driving license. During the learning process, I have the exact same feelings with you. How could I be able to handle so many things at the same time when I am driving? I have to pay attention to the road situations while operating inside the car. However, the most difficult part is not the learning process. It was psychology. I have self doubts about whether I am capable of doing this, of passing the exam. I have received denial from some of my coaches who kept telling me that boys are more talent in driving than girls.

So what I want to point out is that the difficulty of learning sometimes actually lies in the learner’s psychology: whether he/she believes herself/himself could overcome the difficulty and finally earn a good result. To overcome the mental fear, the recognition, encouragement, and confidence from people around us can be critical.
