1. Read the following text and answer the questions.
Unusual jobs.
I’m a rickshaw
driver.
Rickshaws are a
mixture of
a bike and a taxi.
Two or
three people can
sit at the
back and you pull
them by
cycling. Nowadays there
are a lot in London. Some
taxi and bus drivers say we
shouldn’t be on the streets
because we’re dangerous.
It’s important to stay calm in this job because those drivers
often shout at us. But nearly all the work is nearly late at night,
when there isn’t much traffic. You don’t have to have any
qualifications to be a rickshaw driver, but you have to be fit and
strong. You must be patient too because sometimes you have to
wait a very long time before finding a costumer. Friday,
Saturday and Sunday nights are the busiest. And rickshaws are
much more popular in the summer. In the winter you get cold
and wet.
