Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall. (I’m) walking down to the bus stop right now. I take the bus every day.

Uh, it usually takes about an hour and the things I like about taking the bus are, number one, I don’t have to worry about the driving in case of, uh, dangerous, snowy conditions.

And the other thing is that on the bus, I can use the Internet. It has a nice Internet connection, and I can relax and do work . . . relax, watch movies or whatever I need to do.
