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!

Teacher Smith and Den were having a natural, unplanned conversation about Den’s journey to becoming fluent in English. Den reflected on how he once struggled but improved by immersing himself in English-speaking environments and practicing regularly. Over time, his confidence grew, and now, to Teacher Smith’s admiration, Den has even become an English teacher himself. They shared a laugh about how fluent he sounds today and marvelled at his impressive progress.
