I hear you. I decide to runing this marathon bucause I needed to motivator to get myself back into a shape.

No, just a big little boy. he was born 9pounds, 5 ounces(盎司). Hey, julian what inspired(促使) you to want to run this weekend?
$ c, T# a2 f4 S2 Zwell, a bunch(一群) of my running buddies(同伴) thought it would be a good idea. we all started(开始) running at the same time and when we hear that one of the guys’mothers was diagnosed with cancer. We thought the marathom was something positive we would do as a group. It should be a lot fun. and I like collecting lots of sponsor from school. so I’ll hopefully make tons of money for the cause.

And now class, let’s switch gears and discuss different topic? Consumer prise index CPI for short. If you switched on the TV and heard on the news that CPI in Canada was 2.1%, what does that mean?
