What to Do If a Beginner Doesn't Know How to Park?

When parking, beginners should choose to reverse into the parking space. When there is only one parking space available, they should drive past the current parking space. Stop when the rear of their car is aligned with the rear of the car in front, maintaining a distance of 1 meter between the two cars. Then, turn the steering wheel fully to the right while stationary, forming a 45-degree angle, and slowly reverse. When the front of their car and the rear of the car in front are in a straight line, turn the steering wheel fully in the opposite direction, then slowly reverse again to park the car properly.
When I was learning to drive, parking was also a hurdle. Find an empty parking lot, early on weekends when there's no one around, bring a cup of water and practice slowly. Start with parallel parking, aligning the lines using the rearview and side mirrors; remember to slow down, shift into first gear, and gently steer the wheel. Don't rush, if you don't get it right the first time, reverse and try again, after a few attempts muscle memory will kick in. Nowadays, cars come with rearview cameras, which are very practical for beginners to use as an aid; if you're really nervous, ask an experienced friend to sit in the passenger seat and guide you. With more practice, you'll find that parking isn't as scary as it seems, the key lies in relaxing mentally and accumulating skills. Finally, I suggest setting a plan: practice three times a week, about half an hour each time, and in a month you'll be able to handle it with confidence.
