NCE-2 29 Taxi!

Origin Content

Lesson 29 Taxi! 出租汽车！

Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.

From Ben Fawcett's View:

I am Ben, Ben Fawcett. I used to work as a pilot in an airline company. I had spent one year on preparing for my own company since I left from my last company last year. I had bought a small Swiss aeroplane called a "Pilatus Porter" which can carried seven passengers. And it can land on anywhere: on snow, water, or even ploughed field. Now I use it as a taxi. My first passager is a doctor and I took him from Burmingham to a lonely village at Welsh Mountains. Since that, I have flown passengers to many unusual places. One time, I landed my aeroplane on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, I landed on(=>in) a deserted car park. I have just refused a strange request from a commercian. He want to go an island named Locarl in Atlantic. I did not want to take him because the trip is too dangerous.

From Pilutas Porter's View:

I am Pilutas Porter and I am an aeroplane from Swiss[=> Switzerland). My new master is Ben Fawcett who is a captain with much experience(经验丰富这句表达不对). I can carry seven passengers at most and I can land on any places, no matter where it is. Snow, water, or even ploughed field on where I manage to land. Now Ben take me as an unusual taxi in a new service. The first passenger I took is a doctor who flown from Burmingham to a lonely village in (这里要有the) Welsh Moutains(这里无需大写). Since that, I had flown to many unusual places. I had ever(=> once) landed on the roof of a block of apartments and on another occasion, I landed on(=> in) a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett had just refused a strange request from a bussinessman who want to fly to a lonely island, Locarl, which is in the Atlantic Ocean. But I'd like to try to fly there. But my boss refused to take him on the ground that the trip is too dangerous.
