Let's Learn English - Lesson 42: I Was Minding My Own Business:
| Guy | Hello. I'm Guy Newsman with News Channel XYZ. I’m here in Washington, D.C. at the scene of a crime. |
| Guy | We are talking with this woman. |
| Guy | She saw the crime during her lunch break. It looks like she hurt herself while she was trying to stop the crime. |
| Guy | Tell us your name. |
| Anna | Hi, Guy. I'm Anna. |
| Guy | Anna, what did you see and what happened to your arm? |
| Anna | Guy, I was minding my own business. See, I work over there. |
| Guy | Um-hum |
| Anna | I left work to get some lunch. Then suddenly, I heard a woman yelling. She was yelling like this ... “Help! Help!” |
| Guy | Um-hum |
| Anna | Two robbers were grabbing her bag like this. She was hitting them with her umbrella. |
| Guy | Is that when you hurt your arm? |
| Anna | No. At that time, I was not fighting the robbers. |
| Guy | Um-hum. |
| Anna | See. I was too far away and I didn't have my own umbrella. |
| Guy | So, what happened next? |
| Anna | They grabbed her bag and ran away! So, I grabbed her umbrella and ran after the robbers. |
| Guy | Then that is the time that you hurt your arm? |
| Anna | No. I was yelling, “Stop, robbers! Stop!” She was yelling, “Hey, come back with my umbrella!” |
| Guy | Were you afraid? |
| Anna | I had no time to be afraid, Guy. Well, I had time while I was resting on a bench. I had a lot of time. |
| Guy | Then what happened? |
| Anna | The robbers got on a bus. So, I ran after the bus. |
| A VO | While I was running, I tripped and fell. |
| Guy | And that is the time that you hurt your arm? |
| Anna | No. While I was lying on the ground, someone stepped on my arm! |
| Guy | Ouch. That’s too bad. |
| Anna | Yeah. And they didn’t apologize. Well, then the robbers got themselves kicked off the bus. |
| Guy | Why? |
| Anna | They didn’t pay. You've got to pay when you get on a bus. The police came and took them away. |
| Guy | And that’s when you hurt your arm! |
| Anna | No. |
| Guy | Then, when did you hurt yourself? |
| Anna | Well, Guy, by this time, I was feeling very hungry. So, I went to my office to get a snack. |
| C | Anna, I'm calling for help right now. |
| C | (on the phone) Hello? Yes, please come right away. My co-worker is stuck in a vending machine. |
| Guy | You hurt your arm in a vending machine buying a bag of chips? |
| Anna | I was really hungry and the bag was stuck. I had to - |
| Guy | That’s all from News Channel XYZ. This is Guy Newsman saying goodbye. |
| Guy | Okay, we have to find ourselves another story, guys. |
| Anna | Until next time! Hi Mom! |
