A．So I took the challenge

B．I always parked forward

C．The car didn't hit one single thing

D．But it was impossible I could do that way

E．I had made a mistake about the distance of the car

My house is on a hill．There was only a small parking place．As a new driver，I was so scared when I realized I would have to reverse（倒车）out of the driveway．I knew that if I parked backwards（朝后），it would be easier to get out later．（66）　　．

For three months，I didn't even think of trying．（67）　　．But one day，I suddenly thought to myself，"How am I ever going to know whether I can do it if I don't even try？"

So I started my car，went down that hill，turned around and reversed．I made it．I got into the parking place．（68）　　．

As weeks went on，I continued trying．The more I practiced，the better I did．But I had never practiced parking in the dark before．Then I decided to push myself．（69）　　．

When I slowly drove to the parking place，I couldn't see anything．My heart was beating rapidly．A moment later I guessed I was getting somewhere，I let the car go．Oh，my god!The car hit a tree．（70）　　．But I tried it after all．
