In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we are exploring vocabulary related to film. This episode is particularly useful for students preparing the Cambridge exams (B2/C1) where there is often the task of writing a book or film review. To help us along is, of course,  our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who today will be telling us of her date at the cinema. How did it go? Let’s find out!

ENGLISH IN A TEACUP

EP 4: BARBIE OR OPPENHEIMER?

Сегодня пишем диктант по рассказу Михаила Зощенко “Галоши и мороженое” про очередные приключения Лёли и Миньки. Как раз очень летняя тема, мне кажется. 

Система у нас такая: я читаю текст два раза. 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. Буду говорить, где нужно ставить точки (.)

Спасибо всем, кто слушает мои подкасты и пишет диктанты! Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “шестой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
