Сегодня у нас в программе отрывок из романа Михаила Юрьевича Лермонтова “Герой нашего времени”. Прекрасный текст о взаимопонимании людей.

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. Будет много знаков препинания, которые я вам тоже буду проговаривать: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-), двоеточие (:), точка с запятой (;), многоточие (...)

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

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего вам дня, друзья!
