b- adjusting the car radio
c- talking with their Friends

______.
a- wear colorful clothing
b- take the bus instead

Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall, and right behind is a stop sign. It’s actually a four-way
stop, and one of the things that I notice as I often go running is that
people really don’t often pay attention. They’re sometimes eating a
sandwich or drinking something or playing on their cell phone, and it’s
really dangerous. And sometimes I wish, I wish I could just scream or
say something, but probably the best thing is to just pay attention to
what are you’re doing, wear bright clothing so they can see you, so
when they don’t stop, your safe.

3. Pongo en práctica lo aprendido / Putting into practice what I have learned .
