Lesson 65 Jumbo versus the police
原文：
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

练习感悟：
@01林-贵州-项目管理 record【ˈrekərd】，感觉你读的是【ˈrekɔrd】，christmas大家都说了不要卷，我今天也练了好久，好想卷啊
@[00]-纸多糖-广东-学生 circus最后的s没有读出来，allow我怎么感觉都城了allowed
1.公司装修，正好在家安心学习，只不过每天还要去晃一圈，今天读的时候有ə的时候总想卷成ər，要自己控制住。发音要干净利索。
