Driving License

My name is Tom and I come from Albania. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I have been living in Australia for seven months. In Albania I used to work as a teacher. I taught at a primary school. In Australia I don't work as a teacher. My English is not good enough. I work at a chicken shop in Box Hill.
I wanted to get a driving license when I first came to Australia. I bought a book to learn how to get a licence. The book had a lot of information that drivers had to follow. I studied the book very well. I took a test on a computer. I passed the test and got a learner's license.
After I got my "L" license, I took some driving lessons. They cost me a lot of money. I paid $50 for a 45-minute driving lesson. I took a lot of lessons.
After three months I went for a driving test. I passed the test and took another test on a computer. It was not easy this time. The questions were hard but I passed it.
Now I have a "P" license. I can drive a car in Australia. I am very happy.
