Confessions of a NYC cabbie

Elias works as a cab driver on the streets of New York. He loves his job. Today he's working on Broadway. We're taking a ride with him to get to know more about his experiences as a taxi driver in the Big Apple.

5

10

I: So, Elias, tell me about your job. What do you most enjoy about it?

E: Talking to people, definitely. I love chatting with different types of people, getting to know them. You can't imagine what people tell me. Sometimes I feel like I'm their best friend!

25

I: Does it work?

E: I think so, yes. They often say things like: “Thanks, man, I really appreciate your support.”

I: What do you mean?

E: People really open up with cab drivers, at least with me. They tell me their problems, very private things.

15

20

I: Like what?

E: For instance this morning there was this guy, a hip hop singer, actually someone I know from TV. Well, he was very nervous and at one point he said: “I'm currently doing a show in Radio City Music Hall and I have nightmares every night. I dream that I'm on stage and I forget the lyrics of my songs.”

I: Wow! And what do you say when they tell you things like that?

E: Well, I try to cheer them up. I say: “Hey, forget about it. Everything is going to be all right. It's not an exam! You are lucky! You do what you love doing.”

30

I: And do you charge them an extra fee for that?

E: Nah. I do it because I love my job. I love helping people, that's a big plus. I'm a very sociable, helpful, generous and modest guy, you know…

1. There are several women among the greatest American novelists of the 20th and 21st century, but there aren't many black women among them.

Toni Morrison is a black American writer who is also an editor and a university professor. She started reading books when she was very young and just loved it. In 1949, she entered Howard University in Washington D.C., and studied there for four years. After that, she taught English at Texas Southern University, Houston. Later in life, she wrote many novels such as The Bluest Eye, Sula and Beloved. In 1993, she won the Nobel prize in literature.

Her latest book, published in 2012, is called Home.

2. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist who won two Nobel Prizes for her work: one in physics in 1903 and the other in chemistry in 1911. There were many things that women couldn't do in those days, so winning a prize like that was really exceptional. In fact, she was the first woman in history to win a Nobel Prize. Today, there are two reasons why she is still famous: first because she discovered radium and also because, thanks to this, the X-ray procedure was invented afterwards.

3. Aung San Suu Kyi is nicknamed the “Iron Butterfly” because she has a very strong will but looks vulnerable at the same time. She was born in 1945 in British Burma. In the 1960s, she studied political science, philosophy and economics in England. In 1988, when she went back to Burma, there were serious problems with human rights in her country, so she became a political activist in favour of democracy. But the Burmese government imprisoned her for 15 years.

In 1991, she received the Nobel Peace Prize for her political action and finally became a member of the Burmese Parliament in 2012.
