Dictation 6 (Lift breakdown)

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He was claustrophobic and the darkness did not help. The atmosphere in the lift became increasingly suffocating. He felt that his lungs would burst. After what seemed like an eternity, the lift sprang back to life. It started to descend smoothly and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Dictation 5 (Lift breakdown)

With a violent jerk, the lift stopped between floors. Peter jabbed the lift buttons impatiently, but there was no response. After a few moments, the lights flickered and went out. “Great!” he thought sarcastically. The lift was plunged into pitch darkness. Another boy groaned in terror when the lift ground to a halt. He gripped his bag so hard that his knuckles turned white. He was paralysed by fear.

Dictation 4 (Crime - Conclusion)

The two boys managed to catch the snatch thief and pin him to the ground. They restrained him till other passers-by came to help them. From a distance, they could hear the wailing of sirens. The thief’s accomplice, who was acting as a look-out, gave a shout of warning and took to his heels. Gagged and bound, hand and foot, the thief watched helplessly as his accomplice clambered out of the window and fled from the scene.

Dictation 3 (Crime - Conclusion)

A masked man, brandishing a knife, came out of the shadows. He pinned the old man to the wall and demanded his wallet. Before fleeing, the robber went through his pockets and took his mobile phone. The old man put up a fierce struggle and managed to thwart the thief’s intention of running off with his wallet.

Dictation 2 (Hot day - Introduction)

The sun-drenched morning sky heralded another scorching summer day. The children practised for the parade in the tropical midday heat. They were visibly wilting under the blazing sun. It was a wonder that none of them got sunstroke. They continued walking in the sweltering heat. The burning sun scorched their skin.
