7.	The Position of Time（“时间”的位置）

Сегодня у нас отрывок из всем известного романа “Мастер и Маргарита” Михаила Булгакова. Текст о том, что глаза всегда говорят правду.

Как всегда, 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. Буду говорить нужные знаки препинания: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-) и восклицательный знак (!)

Пришлите мне сообщение со словами “одиннадцатый диктант готов” и я отправлю вам текст для проверки. Не забывайте ставить лайки и оставлять комментарии, мне будет очень приятно.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Отрывок из романа Булгакова “Мастер и Маргарита” (диктант)

Talking to yourself isn’t just harmless—it’s scientifically proven to boost cognitive function and language retention. According to research, internal self-talk regulates emotions and improves focus, especially under pressure. Now imagine doing this in your target language—it’s like rewiring your internal operating system to think in new words, sounds, and rhythms.
And here’s something else that’s fascinating—rehearsed monologue, or what we call “self-talk,” activates the same brain regions involved in conversation with others. That means that practicing your thoughts aloud, even in private, preps your brain for real-life social interactions.

When you talk to yourself in a new language, you’re building not just fluency—you’re building trust. Trust in your own voice. Confidence grows when we hear ourselves trying.
And in moments of doubt, this diary becomes your mirror. It shows you how far you’ve come—not just in words, but in courage.
