Dagens avsnitt handlar om mitt klädbytarevent som jag höll i helgen. Klädbytardagar är ett koncept som jag älskar så mycket. Det är ett hållbart sätt att både ge och få. Jag pratar om hur fast fashion inte är hållbart och att alla borde starta ett klädbytarevent i sin stadsdel. Jag lovar det är hur kul som helst.

Сегодня у нас в программе очень интересная книга в жанре путешествия от Ильфа и Петрова - “Одноэтажная Америка”. Посмотрим, какие у них были впечатления от того, как они впервые попробовали.. Впрочим, скоро вы всё узнаете сами!

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. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет несколько: точка (.), запятая (,), тире (-). двоеточие (:) и восклицательный знак(!).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “тринадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Отрывок из книги Ильфа и Петрова “Одноэтажная Америка” (диктант)

WTO总干事表示，当前全球经济前景黯淡，同时也充满不确定性，但今年全球贸易增长可能比预期更快。但同时预计今年全球货物贸易将仅增长1%，较2022年3.5%的增幅大幅放缓。未来出现其他结果也是有可能的，这取决于俄乌冲突的进展、中国的重新开放，以及各大央行收紧货币政策的力度。WTO警告称，不要只与盟友进行贸易，这将阻碍全球经济的增长。这样做的代价将很严重。

The Super Bowl, one of the biggest nights in US sports — and the American cultural calendar — ended with victory for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday February 9.

The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans. The game was played amid heavy security — and with President Donald Trump in attendance — just 41 days after a man drove a truck into New Year's partygoers on the city's Bourbon Street.

There were tributes before the game to the 14 people who were killed in the incident.

On the field, there was plenty for millions of viewers around the world to enjoy — although the game was not so enjoyable for Chiefs fans.

The Kansas franchise had won three out of the last five Super Bowls, but they didn't come close in the 59th edition.

Not even the presence of pop superstar Taylor Swift, who has spent all season supporting boyfriend Travis Kelce, a player with the Chiefs, could make a difference!

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said his players had to work together to win. "This is the ultimate team game. You can't be great without the greatness of others," he said.

The Chiefs' star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was kept quiet by the Eagles defense, denying him a fourth Super Bowl win.

A lot of the pre-game interest in the Super Bowl had centered around the traditional halftime entertainment, with rapper Kendrick Lamar performing just days after winning five Grammy awards.

His show didn't disappoint, with dancers in red, white and blue performing around a car onstage, while the rapper also performed his Grammy-winning song of the year "Not Like Us."

However, one of the many performers was detained on the field after unfurling a combination of the Sudanese and Palestinian flags with "Sudan" and "Gaza" written on it.

An NFL spokesperson told The Associated Press that the performer would be banned for life from all NFL stadiums and events.

Trump, meanwhile, became the first serving US President to attend the Super Bowl.
