?(what the skill is/was)
?The skill I recently learn is driving, which is a useful skill that I was dreaming of learning when I was a child. ( 首句复合句) The reason why I learn driving is that it can help me save lots of time instead of taking a bus or riding a bicycle. I can save at least a third of time by driving.(解释好处1，并且用数字说明) And it also gives me a great sense of security when driving a car compared with riding a motorcycle or a bicycle.（解释好处2，做对比）Another thing made me learn driving is that it provides lots of mobility for me. I mean, I can go wherever I want just by driving my own car, I feel the whole world is under my control. （解释好处3，加感受）
?(where you learned it)
?I took a driving class a few months ago, and after taking the computer based examination, and then I practiced driving skills by operating a car under my coach’s instruction. I found taking the course a little bit boring, coz I had to memorize lots of rules and signs in order to drive safely. But, I found operating the car quite exciting and fascinating, I just took my coach’s words, and I made my car mobile. It was a lot of fun. （注意过去时态）
?(how you learned it)
?At first, I thought learning to drive was a piece of cake. I could just operate steering wheel （方向盘）, step on the accelerator pedal（油门）and the brakes （刹车）when needed. But things turned out to be much more complicated than I first thought. I had to learn to pay attention to the road condition (路况) all the time, whether there is someone behind tries to overtake （超车）. Sometimes it was easy to let my mind wander, and it would be dangerous to be on the road if that happened. I practiced a lot and at the same time asked my experienced friends for some helpful hints. By learning hard, I finally could drive a car quite well, and I successfully got my driving license two weeks ago. (注意过去时态同时，注意顺序)
(and explain how you think this skill will be useful in the future.)
?Driving would be one of the most useful skills I learnt in the future. For me, I would go aboard for further study in a couple of years. I plan to take part-time jobs at that time, so I need a great mobility from the place I live, to school and to work. I may not live on campus, coz I heard from my friends that renting a dorm room on campus is not as inexpensive as renting a room in a house downtown. Besides, I may study late at night in school library, and the bus may not run that late, so driving allows me effective and efficient study life. All in all driving would be a skill that I can’t live without in the future. (注意将来时态，可以用虚拟语气)
