As I was telling you, where you shop depends largely on what you need.<br />So if you want to buy a CD player, your best bet would probably be an appliance store such as Best Buy or Radio Shack.<br />Why?<br />They usually have the best deals. They have sales on their TVs and CD players every once in a while.<br />Hmm, are those places that send you their ads loaded with so-called sales?<br />Well, I'll admit some of their items are high priced, but at least the shopper has guaranteed quality.<br />The thing is that there are very few places that have such a wide selection.<br />I need to buy discs, at least two disc holders, note cards, and a few other things like that.<br />For office supplies, I suggest Office Max.<br />You know, one good thing about living in a campus town, though, is that you can easily get that stuff at any of the bookstores.<br />No doubt they do overcharge. I try to get around that by shopping around.<br />Yes, that's very practical.<br />As I was telling you, where you shop depends largely on what you need.<br />So if you want to buy a CD player, your best bet would probably be an appliance store such as Best Buy or Radio Shack.<br />Why?<br />They usually have the best deals.

Tony, you've been a racing driver for nearly 10 years.<br />You've had a very dangerous life, haven't you?<br />I mean, you've almost been killed a couple of times during these years, haven't you?<br />Yes, I suppose that's right.<br />When was your worst accident?<br />I'd say last year.<br />It was during the British Grand Prix last September.<br />In the middle of the race, I smashed into a wall.<br />The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken.<br />Luckily, nobody was killed.<br />Is that the only time you've been, um, close to death?<br />No.<br />Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident.<br />One of them ran into the other.<br />I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence.<br />My car was badly damaged.<br />But luckily, I wasn't hurt at all.<br />You must enjoy danger.<br />I mean, you wouldn't be a racing driver if you didn't, would you?<br />I don't know about that.<br />I had a very frightening experience quite recently.<br />I was frightened to death.<br />I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.<br />Really? When was that, during your last race?<br />No.<br />It was on my way to this studio, driving through the London streets during lunch hour with so many cars racing along.<br />All so close to each other was a terrifying experience.<br />Tony, you've been a racing driver for nearly ten years.<br />You've had a very dangerous life, haven't you?<br />I mean, you've almost been killed a couple of times during these years, haven't you?<br />Yes, I suppose that's right.<br />When was your worst accident?<br />I'd say last year.<br />It was during the British Grand Prix last September.<br />In the middle of the race, I smashed into a wall.<br />The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken.<br />Luckily, nobody was killed.<br />Is that the only time you've been, um, close to death?<br />No.<br />Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident.<br />One of them ran into the other.<br />I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence.<br />My car was badly damaged.<br />But luckily, I wasn't hurt at all.<br />You must enjoy danger.<br />I mean, you wouldn't be a racing driver if you didn't, would you?<br />I don't know about that.<br />I had a very frightening experience quite recently.<br />I was frightened to death.<br />I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.<br />Really?<br />When was that?<br />During your last race?<br />No.<br />It was on my way to this studio.<br />Driving through the London streets during lunch hour with so many cars racing along.<br />All so close to each other was a terrifying experience.

My name is Anna Brown. Three years ago, I had a car accident and lost my left arm.<br />At first, I was depressed and lost interest in anything.<br />However, several months after I left the hospital, I read about two inspiring athletes who overcame their disabilities and I was greatly inspired.<br />Today, I'd like to tell you about them. The first one is Jason Lester.<br />When Jason Lester was 12 years old, he was hit by a car. One of his arms was severely injured.<br />At that time, people could never have dreamed that many years later, he'd be a world-class sports champion.<br />But today, he can run unbelievably long distances and he can swim faster and ride further than most people with no disabilities.<br />He does it all without the full use of his right arm.<br />In 2009, he was named the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly, SB Award Winner for Best Male Athlete with a Disability.<br />The second one is Melissa Stockwell. In 2004, Melissa Stockwell lost her leg when a roadside bomb exploded.<br />She was a diver in high school before the accident. After she got injured, she didn't want to leave water forever just because of the accident.<br />She kept on swimming. At last, she trained to compete in the 2008 Paralympic Games for the US team.<br />In the 2008 Paralympic Games, she became the record holder for the 100-meter butterfly and the 100-meter freestyle.<br />Their stories encouraged me that I can really do amazing things, whether we're disabled or not.<br />My name is Anna Brown.
