THE LITTLE PRINCE "Le Petit Prince" d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (French Hero and Writer) CHAPTER TWO

Сегодня проверим себя по известному всем роману “Идиот” Федора Михайловича Достоевского. Текст достаточно легкий, но буду диктовать и знаки препинания. Нам понадобятся: точка (.), запятая (,), вопросительный (?) и восклицательный (!) знаки и многоточие (...)

Я прочитаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. 

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “восьмой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Ну и не забывайте ставить лайки и оставлять комментарии, мне будет очень приятно.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
