No Wrong Numbers

05. No Wrong Numbers

Mr.James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr.Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.

Up to now

It sounds to me that "P" paused not long enough.

注意一下/ei/的發音。似乎老毛病又犯了。

g 的·發音應該稍微卷舌。

r你似乎忘卷舌了。
three 發的不清楚。

n in own 似乎沒聽到。

only, o 發得再慢一點

pigeons, /i/ 應該是短音

three, th不到位

requests, prounanced like "requestis" it should be /riqests/

own, sounds like /old/

from是不是應該隻發成一個音節？還有最後一句“he has begun his own private telephone service”

private 後麵應是upside down e,聽起來象是ei,service也是同樣的問題。
