Episode Notes

(A bit of a difficult English dictation today!)

A weekly dictation to help learners of the English language to improve their listening comprehension.

How to use:

1. Don't look at the transcript (text) below.
2. Listen to the podcast (the dictation is repeated twice) and try to write everything you hear down.
3. Check your text with the text of the dictation. If any word is different, it is probably a listening comprehension mistake. Try to listen again to the word and repeat the pronunciation a few times. If you don't understand the word when you read it; it is probably new vocabulary.
4. Listen to the dictation again. You should understand some of the words that you didn't understand before.

Transcript:

In Connecticut, USA, a person bought a bowl at a yard sale for just $35 dollars.  However, it was not just any ordinary bowl.  It turned out to be a rare 15th century porcelain bowl made in China.  And guess what? Last Wednesday, it sold at auction for $722,000.   The small white bowl is adorned with blue paintings of flowers and other designs.  Only seven of such bowls are known to exist in the world.
