I like the video and transcript, it really helps me while I speak english as non-native language. Thanks.
I do not like to have to hide my smoking habit when on a beach and I refuse to let the nazi jerks rule me so I still do it when I want.
When you stop using your nasty electricity that is produced from burning coal,then I will stop putting out my smoke.I refuse to play along with the morons.
