Lesson29 Taxi!

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.

任务配置：L0+L1

知识点：Birmingham，[ˈbɜːmɪŋəm]，伯明翰，英式发音里面，h不发音，这个词跟美式还是区别很大的。

练习感悟：今天的文章里陌生名称很多，需要熟记，包括一些词语的过去分时和过去式，都不太容易读，啊，手贱看了一下后面的，发现文章越来越多，但也没有多到无法承受。最近几天发现文章篇幅在增加，可能只是一两句话，但读的时候还是比较明显的，毕竟之前快的话50秒左右，现在紧赶慢赶也要一分十几秒。翻到最底部，2019年10月10日，哈哈，希望别掉队哇！坚持到那个时候，放弃很容易，但坚持一定很酷cool~！
