Dictation 1 (Chapter 1)

Part A : Seen Dictation (90%)

I love sports. I often play basketball after school and I always do fencing on Saturday mornings.

I like outdoor activities best. In summer, I often go cycling in the countryside with my brother. In winter, we sometimes go ice-skating.

I never read magazines or play board games. I sometimes go horse-riding at weekends. When it runs, I feel like I am flying.

I play the guitar. I practise a lot in my spare time. My best friend plays the drums and my sister is really good at singing.

When I was four, my hair was very long and untidy. I couldn’t comb it by myself. My big sister could comb her hair by herself because it wasn’t very long.

My dad said he could cut my hair. Unfortunately, when he finished, the left side was longer than the right. He cut some more to make it even. In the end, my hair was very short!

I couldn’t carry my bag by myself because it was very heavy. In the end, Amy helped me pack the right things for school.

I visited Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park! There were lots of rides. My favourite was the pirate ship because it went really high. There was also a zoo with lots of animals. My favourite animal was a huge elephant called Tino.

Today the time machine took me back to 1918. I visited the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui. In those days, it was part of the train station.

There was an airport 30 years ago but it wasn’t on Lantau. It was in the middle of our busy city!

The Emperor was the richest man in the land. He loved buying new things, especially clothes. Every day, tailors visited the palace with new clothes for the Emperor.

The Emperor waved the man away. ‘Your coats are ugly,’ he said. ‘I want nicer clothes.’

The next day, two strangers arrived at the palace. ‘We have the finest coats in the world,’ they said. The Emperor was excited. ‘I’d like to see these coats,’ he said.

The strangers opened their trunk. The Emperor was confused because he couldn’t see anything.

‘Let’s go out for dinner to celebrate,’ suggested Joyce. ‘Yes! I’m so hungry I could eat a horse,’ said David.

What would you like, Mum?’ Joyce asked. ‘I’d like something spicy,’ replied Mum. ‘Which would you like, chicken curry or beef curry?’ said Joyce. Mum couldn’t decide, so she ordered both.

Dad wanted pasta. ‘Which is better?’ he asked. “Spaghetti with meat sauce or macaroni with mushrooms?’

An hour later, there was still a lot of food on the table. ‘Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs.’ said Mum.
