One in 8 Million

Hi everybody. How`s it going?! Teacher Adriano here.

This week I`d like to introduce to you what I consider to be the best New York Times video project, so far. One in 8 Million explores the personality of some characters of the Big Apple. You`ll get to know a little about individuals such as Joshua Febres: The Uncertain Gang Member or Jim Romano: The Tabloid Photographer.

Living in a city with endless possibilities, a Jewish middle-aged woman from the Upper East Side will never have the same New York experience as that of somebody from Soho or Tribecca. Each New Yorker has their own personal taste of the city and that`s what they share with us in these videos.

The videos are actually 3-minute slide shows with a narration on the background. And it`s great for those who like to practice their listening. You`ll be able to listen to lots of different accents from all over the US and the World.
