http://www.dictationsonline.com/english/4upperintermediate/9gist.html
It's been such a horrible dictation that I've put here the hole dictation with the mistakes I've made.
It's been such a horrible dictation that I've put here the hole dictation with the mistakes I've made.
"After such a scene as the last, Walter Morel was for some days
abashed and ashamed, but he soon regained his old bullying
indifference. Yet there was a slight shrinking, a diminishing in his assurance. Physically even, he shrank, and his fine full
presence waned. He never grew in the least stout, so that, as he sank
from his erect, assertive bearing, his physique seemed to contract along with his
pride and moral strength"

Man: Excuse me. I’ve been waiting for an hour for my food and now that I get it, it’s completely cold
Waitress: I am sorry but that’s not my fault. We have a new cook who’s still not familiar with everything and we have unexpectedly many guests so things can take a while
man: Well, so please take the food with you and bring me a warm one
-----------------------------------------
Man: Excuse me!
Waitress: Yes please.
