Nancy became a taxi driver because

M: Hello, Nancy. I know you are one of the few women taxi drivers in the city now and you drive for a living. What made you want to become a taxi driver in the first place?
W: I took pride in driving well even when I was young, for I had to wait until I had a car to learn to drive. When I finally learned, it was something I really enjoyed and still enjoy.
M: I see. And how long have you been a taxi driver?
W: Er…altogether 12 years.
M: Mm…It has been quite some time already, hasn’t it?
W: Yeah.
M: Then, what did you find the hardest about becoming a taxi driver?
W: It was scary. [2B]I did not yet know how to judge distance, and when a truck came nearer, it seemed like its wheels would just come right over me. Anyway, soon I learned it all and stopped worrying.
M: In your opinion, what does it take to become a good taxi driver?
W: Er…besides driving well, [3B] the most important thing a taxi driver needs to know is the streets, and I knew the city well because I’d lived there for a long time. And, of course, you have to keep updating your knowledge of the streets because the city changes.
M: Now, what about annual vacation? Do you have them?
W: Oh, yes. When I first started, I had only 10 days. And now I have 3 weeks every year with pay.
M: Just out of curiosity, when you go on vacation to another place, do you drive there as well?
W: In most cases, not. [4C] I prefer to be driven by others if we go by car. I’ve had too much driving in my life. So when on holiday. I just want to relax.
M: OK. Our interview is coming to the end. Thank you for your time.
W: Pleasure.
