The Seasons | Intermediate English

Сегодня пишем диктант на основе монолога известного писателя-сатирика Михаила Жванецкого. Есть у него одна история, называется “Воскресный день”. В первом абзаце очень интересно обыгран глагол “потянуться” в разных его вариациях: это и медленно идти, и потянуть мышцы после сна, к примеру. А во втором абзаце потренируемся описывать своё утро и правильно писать названия продуктов.

Система такая же: я читаю текст два раза. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Буду говорить, где заканчивается предложение и нужно ставить точку (.), ок? Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. 

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

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
