Taking My Parents to the G1 Driver's Test

Last Tuesday, I took my parents to take the G1 driver's test. That day was really a busy day. When we arrived at the test centre on Tuesday morning, my parents found that they had forgotten their passports at home. There was nothing to do except I pick them up. It was one hour later when I went back to the centre. There was a long line in front of the help desk already. My parents cannot speak English, so I was the translator for them. There was lots of work to do before taking the test including checking their eyesight, taking photos, paying fees, getting their signatures, and so on. There was a lot of translation work between English and Chinese. After doing all of this, it was time for the test. Only the person who took the test could stay in the testing room. So there was another long wait. They finished their tests after one hour. Fortunately, both of them passed the test. We were all so happy that we totally forgot everything we had done previously.
