Do you think you’re great at spelling? Test yourself with this new episode of Dictation!the podcast from the editorial staff of Current wife. Every two weeks, we offer you a new dictation and its answer key to do alone or with your family to assess your grammar or conjugation skills. In this sixth part, you will find a text given to middle school students, dictated by Madam speech therapist, spelling influencer and author of the book “Madam speech therapist, erase all your spelling mistakes”, published by Éditions de l’Opportun last October. This is an extract from the novel “The Immoralist” by André Gide, published in 1902.
The correction will then be available in the next episode and on the website Femmeactuale.fr. We will also reveal the biggest pitfalls of the text as well as tips and mnemonics to stop making spelling mistakes.
The text of the middle school level dictation
THE IMMORALIST
It was a place full of shadow and light; quiet, and which seemed sheltered from time; full of silences, and quivers, light sound of the water flowing, watering the palm trees, and from tree to tree fleeing, discreet call of doves, song of a flute played by a child. He looked after a herd of goats; he was sitting, almost naked, on the trunk of a fallen palm tree.
