Hi, this is Paul. I’m from England. I’m speaking today for elllo.org. Have I ever been in an accident?

Well, that’s, maybe not a very nice question. Have I ever been in an accident? Let me think. Yea, there was one time when I was on a motorbike, and I was in Thailand. And I was driving down the road, not very fast. But the road was very, very bumpy. And I actually hit a small rock that was in the middle of the road. And I lost control of the bike. And I, I fell off the motorbike. And, erm, yeah, I cut my arm. I was very lucky, because I was not wearing a helmet. So, I was quite young and a little bit crazy. But, luckily, I was OK, so that’s my story.

How about you? Have you ever been in an accident?
