每日口說挑戰不可不知的廉價航空大小事！為何搭廉航都沒有空橋讓乘客登機？（Why Do Low-Cost Carriers Avoid Jet Bridges At Many Airports?）

☺This is common in smaller aircraft, but not on standard commercial narrow bodies. Adding stairs, though, allows for independent operation.
這通常是內建在較小型的飛機，而非普通的窄體客機。而另外附加樓梯則是可以讓飛機能夠獨立運作上下機流程。

Intro:
Hi, Voicetubers, I’m Tera. When was the last time you went traveling by plane? As an unprecedented global disease, the covid-19, existed in 2020, the way people live their lives has been totally changed. The outbreak of covid greatly raises health, social, and economic emergencies in the world. Tourism is among one of the sectors that is severely affected. Locals stay at home, tourists are not allowed to visit some of the countries. Even if there is no prohibition, several people choose not to travel because of the complicated quarantine policies. It has been a while since you last boarded a plane, right? Well, I know that. Hence, today’s theme is leading us to things related to planes. Hope that watching this video can bring you to all the good memories created while traveling. And, as usual, time for the daily sentence.

Featured sentence: This is common in smaller aircraft, but not on standard commercial narrow bodies adding stairs though allows for independent operation.

Tips:
standard: two syllables with the stress on the first one. The first syllable, "stan", "t" becomes /d/ instead of /t/ since it is preceded by a "s". The second syllable, "dard", the vowel "ar" is "ɚ", so it’s "dard". "stan-dard".
commercial: three syllables with the stress on the second one. "com" is a schwa sound, /kəm/, "mer" is the stressed syllable, pronounced as /mɝ/. Finally, "cial", /ʃəl/. Altogether, "com-mer-cial".
Independent: four syllables with the stress on the third one. "in" is the same as how we say it, not so special. "de" sounds like "di". "pen" is also the same as how we say the word "pen", but since there’s a stress on it, its pitch becomes higher, "pen". Adding up the final "dent", we get "in-de-pen-dent".
operation: four syllables with the stress on the third one. "o" has a /ɑ/ sound. "pe" is a schwa /ə/, /pə/. "ra" has a long vowel and it sounds like "ray". And then we have, "tion", which is /ʃən/. "o-pe-ra-tion"

Outro:
In addition to the use of jet bridges, there are several differences between low-cost airlines and full-service airlines. Let’s go deeper into the details now. While the biggest difference between the two airline types is price, the second major difference is luggage. The majority of low-cost airlines allow one full-sized carry-on onboard free of charge. However, if you have checked baggage which needs to be transported, you’ll have to pay an extra fee. In addition, all food and drinks, even water, cost extra when traveling with low-cost airlines, but if you are flying with a full-service carrier, you don’t have to worry about it. Food is already included in your plane tickets. What’s more, full-service airlines also offer first-class and business-class seating, whereas low-cost carriers only have economy class. Plus, full-service ones are doing better on amenities, in-flight entertainment, and Wi-Fi. All in all, either flying with low-cost airlines or full-service airlines are safe, and basic rights are all provided. Low-cost airlines should be a good choice as long as you compare the final price if you feel like controlling budgets. Ok, let’s call it a day. Stay healthy, and stay tuned.

#舉手發問！narrow bodies 與adding stairs 之間是否應該加逗號或是句號？

Better yet adding built in stairs to the aircraft is another such change. This is common in smaller aircraft, but not on standard(普通的) commercial(此指客機) narrow bodies. Adding stairs though(然而 adv.), allows for independent operation.
更甚者，在飛機裡直接內建樓梯，這通常是較小型的飛機，而非普通的窄體客機所採用的辦法；新增樓梯可以讓飛機能夠獨立運作上下機流程。
