اگه جای تو بودم

Давно не было новых эпизодов, поэтому продолжить я предлагаю очень интересно - сегодня мы возьмем отрывок из знаменитого романа Льва Николаевича Толстого “Анны Карениной”. Слова Степана Аркадьича (Стивы) о Константине Левине.

Как и раньше, я читаю 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. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет всего три: точка (.), запятая (,) и тире (-).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “двенадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Buona fine e buon inizio a tutti!!! Ci avviciniamo all'ultimo giorno dell'anno, Capodanno (Il capo dell'anno? Colui che comanda l'anno o il punto più alto dell'anno???....Boh!!!). Ad ogni modo, un buon momento per voltarci a guardare alle spalle e osservare cosa abbiamo fatto durante quest'anno che volge ormai al termine; e una buona opportunità per prefissarci degli obiettivi per il prossimo anno che sta per iniziare. Buon ascolto a tutti, ma soprattutto buona fine e buon inizio!
