This dictation was a bit difficult for me, because there were some words that I couldn't understand very well, because I'm not used to listen to them. But when I saw the text written I realized that I know and understandthose words. It wasn't very difficult to hear, the speaker did it easy, in my opinion.
The topic wasn't very easy to understand, because of those words that I couldn't understand at first. But Then, i realized that it's an interesting topic.

22nd dictation. Lord of the Flies
This wasn't very difficult, although I had some troubles. There were some words difficult to understand. I knew some of them, but I couldn't understand them propperly. The sepeaker talked clearly, vocalizing very well, what facilitated the comprehesion.
The text is about an interesting topic, which is respect to some people, specially older ones.

21st dictation. Sons and Lovers
It wasn't ery difficult, because I think the vocabulary was easy. Of course, there were some words that were more dificult than the others, and the espeaker went so fast, so sometimes it was hard to understand. Those were the only complications.
It's a nice, mystical and ambigouos text about love.

20th dictation. Remains of the day
It was a little bit difficult for me, because I could't undesrtand some of the words. There were words that I understand when I read it, but I can't understand it easly when I herad it. It also depends on the pronunciation and speed of the speaker. In this dictation, the speaker talk fast for me, so I couldn't understand it very well. However, I could understand the sense of the text in general, and what was it about.
I agree with the reason that are given. I think that the English countryside is beautiful, maybe ine of the most bautiful all around the world. But I think it's not the most beautiful.

19th dictation. Earthly Powers
The dictation was difficult for me, because the vocabulary was very difficult. There were words that I had never herad before, and some words that I couldnn't understand although I knew them. I didn't find the pronunciation very clear, maybe because I didn't understand some words.
I didn't understand very well the sense of the text. Obviously, the first part is a description of a character, but I can't find the relation with the second part, which goes about poker.

16th dictation. The Owl
This dictation was a bit easier, because the vocabulary was more common, at least for me. The pronuciation and entonation was ver clear and fluent, and it made it easier to understand. It's true that there were two or three words that were more difficult, but in general, it was easy.
It's a nice topic, about the animals in the wood, and with a beautiful intention.

15th dictation. Prufrock
The dictation was a litle bit difficult for me, because it includded vocabulary that i don't know, so I couldn't understand some parts of the text. Buit was a poem, so the rhyme helped to understand it. The speaker read the poem slowly and very cleraly, so it was also a help.
It's a nice poem about growing old and the consecuencies that it brings, and how to act when you realize it's happening.
