Topic: Airline asks, 'Is that a monkey in your ponytail?'

NEW YORK(CNN) -- Passengers aboard Spirit Airlines
Flight 180 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to New
York's LaGuardia International Airport had an
unexpected travel companion Wednesday: a small monkey.

A passenger who originally departed from Lima, Peru,
and connected in Fort Lauderdale had been hiding the
small monkey in his ponytail, under his hat, according
to Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell.

During the flight, the monkey crawled out of its
hiding spot, forcing the owner to hold it in his
hands, where the unexpected visitor was soon spotted
by fellow passengers and crew members, Russell said.

The Port Authority Police Department was contacted by
Spirit Airlines, and officials met the owner and the
monkey at the gate.

Port Authority spokesman Pasquale DiFulco released a
statement saying the monkey was never loose in the
airport, as originally reported.

"We've contacted health officials, and man and monkey
will be turned over to appropriate officials. He was
never on the loose in the airport," DiFulco said.

Dear Amy From EVP,

Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness^^. I'd say this is the shortest, EVER. That sure gave me no excuse... oh, I should put it this way^^, articals like this "size" definitely build up my motive and willingness to do the recording every week, with no excuses. Ha. :P

But would it be a bit short for a one-hour-and-fifteen-minute discussion. I have no idea. I hope not. you guys know how to spice it up anyway. :wink:

You gave me a chance of reporting with the tone like an anchor. Does it sound O.k. , or does it sound like a phoney one? :cry: Your suggestions would be much appreciated. :D


Click, click, click....

Dear Jerry,

Your audio record is quite useful.
It helps me know how to pronounce words correctly and we can also improve our listening.
I can even listen your record and do other things at the same time.(ex: writing boring computer programs in the office)

I believe most of our members just don't know that we have these records. (I didn't know it until Happy told me couple days ago.)
So we re-arrange our forum and try to announce our members. I think more and more people will know and enjoy your audio articles.

Thanks for your contribution.

Kind regards,
Wofy

a short notice

文章Amy Kao » 週日 8月 12, 2007 11:46 pm

Dear Jerry,

It is good to listen your special voice, and you've really done a great work.
What I meant last email was that finding a shorter article could be helpful for our new friends from Happy English Club. They are able to learn it fast with ease by talk, listen and comprehension. Conversely, the lengthy article can only be of help for old members.

:wink:

Dear Jerry,
What a beautiful voice. You are right. Speaking out loud is a must to improve one's pronunciation. You efforts are very much appreciated.
