Dictation for Friday
Mr. Brown rang Frank. Could Frank please mend his shower? Frank went to take a look. He turned the shower on, but no water came out. Frank frowned. However, he then saw a problem with the pipe. "I can fix that," he said to Mr. Brown. "This pipe is broken, and the water is coming out of the pipe instead of the shower." Mr. Brown saw the water on the floor and got a towel to mop it up. "Thank you so much, Frank," he said.
Teaching tips:
Revise floor before starting the dictation.
