Sandy is a taxi driver in London.She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.
1 did you start？
I've been a taxi driver for about five years.Before that，I was a bus driver in London，and I enjoyed it，but I wanted to be more independent，so I changed and started driving my taxi.
Have you ever had any famous passengers？
Oh yes.I've had film stars，politicians，you know，some famous people.About a year ago，a really famous actor got into my taxi.I took him to the airport.There was 2
traffic and we spent a long time getting there，so he missed his plane.It wasn't my fault but when he got out of the taxi，he said some things that were not very 3
to me!I said to him， "Next time，take a bus!"
Have passengers ever 4 anything in your taxi？
Oh yes，all kinds of things in here，a suitcase，a hat，mobile phones of course，even a dog once!Years ago，a woman forgot a pair of shoes on the back seat.And one time some teeth here!Not real teeth of course，false teeth.And people have asked me to do some strange jobs.Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton （骨架）.to the hospital in the countryside.And I did.But I asked the doctor to pay 5 — the skeleton couldn't pay after all.
What's the worst part of your job？
Good question.I've always enjoyed being a taxi driver.But of course，sometimes，it's not great.I don't like driving around without a passenger，but it's better than just waiting for passengers at the airport or at a railway station.
