 DICTATION
My name is Robert. I am a student at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah,
in the U.S. At the university I am studying languages. I can speak English,
German, and French. I’ve been travelling to some different countries. I am very
interested in learning more about their languages. So I try to speak as much as
possible. Some people say I have an outgoing personality because I am not afraid
to have a conversation with strangers. I’ve just been to Israel and am now in
Thailand where I will stay for three months. Then I am going to South America.
All the people I have met are very friendly. All these places are very far from my
small hometown where everyone speaks only English. I like my life to be
exciting. Some day I hope to be an interpreter.
