DICTATION

NORMAL VERSION

Yesterday morning I woke up at 7. I had breakfast quickly and then I took a shower, put
on some comfortable clothes and left for my parents’ house. My mother gave me a
recipe to cook for my friends that came later to have dinner with me. I cooked pork
chops with mustard sauce and baked some potatoes with grilled cheese on them. For
dessert, I made a delicious custard with caramel syrup on top. My friends ate it all.

After dinner we thought to go to the movies but Mary got lost so we were late for the
show. Then we decided to have a beer but when I went into the bar I didn’t realize the
floor was wet so I fell and broke my ankle. My friends took me to the hospital. It was a
disaster! But in the emergency room I met my prince charming! He sat next to me and
invited me to a coke. He had gone hiking and had broken his arm. We talked for hours
and eventually he asked for my phone number. I think I fell in love!

PRESENT PERFECT VERSION

This morning I’ve woken up at 7. I’ve eaten breakfast quickly and then I’ve taken a
shower, put on some clothes and left for my parents’ house. My mother has given me
a recipe to cook for my friends that have come later to have dinner with me. I have
cooked pork chops with mustard sauce and baked some potatoes with grilled cheese
on them. For dessert, I’ve made a delicious custard with caramel syrup. My friends
have eaten it all.

After dinner we have thought to go to the movies but Mary has got lost, so we’ve been
late for the show. Then we’ve decided to have a beer but when I’ve gone into the bar
I’ve not realized the floor was wet so I’ve fallen and broken my ankle. My friends have
taken me to the hospital. It’s been a disaster! But in the emergency room I’ve met my
prince charming! He has sat next to me and has invited me to a coke. He had gone
hiking and broken his arm. We’ve talked for hours and eventually he’s asked for my
phone number. I think I’ve fallen in love!
