Keep on practising dictations

We keep on practising dictation again!  

Here you will find a recording with the dictation, called "Trees in the Forest". It is recorded in a clear and natural tone, so it won't be difficult for you to follow and understand it. 

Normally, in doing it, you should play it 3 times: the first one just simply to listen what the story is about, the second one in order to write it paying attention, and the last one to revise what you have written and if you have made mistakes, correct them.

Then, you can check your dictation with the one given below and correct yourself your dictation. One point off per each mistake. Maximum of mistakes: 15

Trees in the Forest

    There are many forests in North America. There are many trees in these forests. Some of these trees are more than two hundred feet tall. Some are over five hundred years old. Several kinds of trees grow in these forests.

    Fir, cedar and pine are three. These trees grow in different areas. Some grow in forests. Some grow on the mountains. People who lived in this place long ago used these trees to make things out of wood. Many of these trees are now in special areas. These areas are called forest reserves or national parks. 

    Some parks charge a small entrance fee. Visitors must pay the fee to enter the parks. Then they can walk among the beautiful old trees. They must take care not ot damage the trees. We should all take care of forests.
