Lesson29 Taxi!
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.
ˈkæptɪn bɛn Fawcett həz bɔːt ən ʌnˈjuːʒʊəl ˈtæksi ənd həz bɪˈgʌn ə njuː ˈsɜːvɪs.
The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.
ðə ˈtæksi z ə smɔːl swɪs ˈeərəpleɪn kɔːld ə 'Pilatus ˈpɔːtə.
This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.
ðɪs ˈwʌndəfʊl pleɪn kən ˈkæri ˈsɛvn ˈpæsɪnʤəz.
The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere:
on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field.
ðə məʊst səˈpraɪzɪŋ θɪŋ əˈbaʊt ɪt, haʊˈɛvə, ɪz ðət ɪt kən lænd ˈɛnɪweə:
ɒn snəʊ, ˈwɔːtə, ɔːr ˈiːvən ɒn ə plaʊd fiːld.
Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor
who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains.
qˈkæptɪn Fawcett's fɜːst ˈpæsɪnʤə wəz ə ˈdɒktə
huː fluː frəm ˈbɜːmɪŋəm tʊ ə ˈləʊnli ˈvɪlɪʤ ɪn ðə wɛlʃ ˈmaʊntɪnz.
Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
sɪns ðɛn, ˈkæptɪn Fawcett həz fləʊn ˈpæsɪnʤəz tə ˈmɛni ʌnˈjuːʒʊəl ˈpleɪsɪz.
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park.
wʌns hi ˈlændɪd ɒn ðə ruːf əv ə blɒk əv flæts ənd ɒn əˈnʌðər əˈkeɪʒən, hi ˈlændɪd ɪn ə dɪˈzɜːtɪd kɑː pɑːk.
Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.
ˈkæptɪn Fawcett həz ʤəst ˌriːˈfjuːzd ə streɪnʤ rɪˈkwɛst frəm ə ˈbɪznɪsmən.
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.
ðə mæn ˈwɒntɪd tə flaɪ tə Rockall, ə ˈləʊnli ˈaɪlənd ɪn ði ətˈlæntɪk ˈəʊʃən,
bət ˈkæptɪn Fawcett dɪd nɒt teɪk ɪm bɪˈkəz ðə trɪp wəz tuː ˈdeɪnʤrəs.
