It wasn't too difficult, because the eader pronuonced well, but it had some concret parts where the text was a little bit harder. But, fortunatelly, the vocabulary wasn't too difficult.

13th dictation. Pooh

This dictation wsn't very difficult. It's true that sometimes it uses words that are a bit difficult, but it general, it could be understood well. There also appear two or three rare words, but it didn't make the dictation much more difficult.

The text is very nice for me, because a really liked Winnie the Pooh when I was a child. And the topic it's funny and nice too, because it shows the most important features of the character. It's a very usual plot.

12th dictation. The Wolf

It  was a little more difficult than others because the pronunciation was harder to understand and the vocabulary wasn't very common. But, when I realized that it was Little Red Riding Hood story, it got easier for me.
The story is extrange for its ending, and very interesting and nice. It gives a funny feature to the clasical story.

11th dictation. Routine.

I found the dictaion easy, but the numbers complicated a bit the understanding, because they are always a little bit harder to understand that other words.
The tpopic is, like in the previous, comical, but with some seripous feautures. Of course, the end is very unexpected, but that's what makes the listening interesting.

10th dictation. The Cementery

Fortunately, I could understand it well, I found easy the vocabulary and the pronunciation.
The topic is funny, like a joke, but with a message at the end that makes us think that the story could be diferrent that we thought.

9th dictation. A tale of two Cities

Fortunatlley, I could understand it very well because the pronuncianton was extremelly clear and slow. It also helped that the text had a rhythm and repeated the structures of the sentences.
It's a nice and beautifull text, with its contradictions.

8th dictation. The unicorn

I could understand it easily, because the pronunciation was very clear. Sometimes it was more difficult to understand because the pronunciation was worse o the words more diffficult, but it didn't prevent me tu understand the text.
About the topic, it's funny and nice, and very irreal and extrange.
