One in eight million

One in eight million is a feature of The New York Times where we can learn about the lives of ordinary New Yorkers through a series of videos.

All the videos are unscripted and are intended for general viewing, so we might find the accent of some of the people here a bit hard to understand.

Do not be put off by this. Try and get a general understanding of the topic they are talking about and, more importantly, lose your fears to deal with native speakers of English face to face.
