My blog on Struggle/difficulty is about a woman in South Korea who is struggling to pass the written drivers test. She has a record of the numbers of times she has failed.
She has failed 771 times, and still counting.
Since her first test in April 2005 she has taken it almost daily. Her name is Cha and is now a 68 year old woman who has spent an equivalent of 4 million American dollars. With that amount of money you’d think she could buy her own driver. I guess it is a dream for her, and also admire how persistent she is in doing so. But it appears that money is no problem she I don’t know why she doesn’t take a class or study before hand. Maybe she has a weak memory or something, the article did not say. The standard score you must have in South Korea is sixty, and she alleges that she has gotten up to fifty. She has gotten to know the people at the DMV. One traffic police officer says that he is rooting for her and hopes she passes. But this is my question for you; do you think she should be able to drive? If she has been taking the test for this long, does it mean she is a bad driver? Or maybe the test will be so written in her mind she’ll be an excellent driver. I feel bad that she does not have the freedom to go wherever she wants because she can not drive herself, but still.
