Diagnostic dictation

Pushkin House

Pushkin's house in Mikhailovsky may be a museum, but it is alive. It is filled with warmth, welcoming and bright. His rooms are always permeated with smells good wood and fresh soil. When the pine trees bloom in the groves, fragrant pollen hangs like a cloud over the house.

But then the time comes, and linden trees bloom on the estate. Then the house is saturated with the smells of wax and honey. Linden trees stand next to the house, and wild bees live in their hollows.

There is a lot of good Pskov linen in the house - tablecloths, towels, curtains. Flax has its own aroma - cool, strong. When the linen items in the house become old, they are replaced with fresh ones, re-woven by rural weavers on ancient mills.

Things made from linen have an amazing property - wherever they are, it always smells fresh. Scientists say that flax protects human health. Anyone who sleeps on a rough linen sheet, wears a linen shirt on his body, and wipes himself with a linen towel almost never suffers from a cold.

Pushkin's peasants, like all Pskovites, have loved to grow flax since ancient times, and it was famous throughout Russia and beyond. Two hundred years ago there was even an English trading office in Pskov that bought flax and linen products and sent them to England.

The flax, flowers, and apples in Pushkin's rooms always smell of sunshine and cleanliness, although on some days thousands of people pass through the museum. (According to S. Geichenko.)

Silence

And behind the oaks is Dikanka with its magnificent palace, surrounded by a park merging with oak forests, in which there were even herds of wild goats.

I spent the whole day in this forest, a sunny October day.

The silence is amazing. Neither leaf nor twig moves. If you just look at the sun, a transparent, shiny web shimmers in the air between thin shoots, and if you listen, you can hear the rustling of an oak leaf falling from a tree for a moment. The ground was covered with yellow leaves, tightly beaten by the rain the day before, above which there were still green leaves of young shoots that had not had time to turn yellow and fall off. No sound, no movement.

Only the palmate maple leaf, transparent yellow in the sun, stands sideways to the stem and stubbornly swings to the sides with a regular movement, like a pendulum: now to the right, now to the left. He swayed for a long time and calmed down only when he broke away, flew down in zigzags and merged with the yellow carpet. Moreover, the silence was broken by two beauties - wild goats, who quickly rushed past me and disappeared into a forest beam... And there is no end to this forest. And in the middle of it are clearings where herds graze...

Here is Volchiy Yar, from where an immense horizon opens far, far away, cut by the blue ribbon of Vorskla, now with a smooth steppe, now with a wooded steep bank... (According to V. A. Gilyarovsky.)

Dikanka, Vorskly, Volchiy Yar - write the words on the board.

Noble estates

Reader, are you familiar with those small noble estates with which our Ukraine abounded twenty-five, thirty years ago? Now they are rare, and in ten years the last of them will probably disappear without a trace.

A flowing pond overgrown with willows and reeds, a haven for busy ducks, which are occasionally joined by a wary teal. Behind the pond is a garden with alleys of lindens, this beauty and honor of our black earth plains, with dead ridges of strawberries, with a continuous thicket of gooseberries, currants, raspberries, in the middle of which, in the languid hour of the motionless midday heat, the colorful scarf of a yard girl will certainly flash and her shrill voice will ring. There is also a barn on chicken legs, a greenhouse, a poor vegetable garden, with a flock of sparrows on the stamens and a cat snoozing near a failed well. And then - curly apple trees above tall grass that is green below and gray at the top, thin cherries, pears that never bear fruit. Then flower beds with poppies, peonies, pansies, bushes of honeysuckle, wild jasmine, lilac and acacia, with the constant buzz of bees and bumblebees in the thick, odorous, sticky branches.

Finally, the manor house, one-story, on a brick foundation, with greenish glass in narrow frames, with a sloping, once painted roof, with a balcony from which jug-shaped railings fell out, with a crooked mezzanine, with a voiceless old dog in a hole under the porch... ( According to I. S. Turgenev.)

Gypsies

The performance with the learned bear was the only folk theater at that time. Although it served as entertainment for the people, like many other things at that time, this performance was extremely rude, harmful and even dangerous. The enraged beast often reared up, bared its terrible teeth and let out a stunning roar. Horror then gripped the domestic animals, and a terrible commotion arose in the barnyard: the horses neighed, and often broke loose from their leash, the cows mooed, the sheep bleated more and more pitifully.

In spring and summer, a gypsy camp also appeared and was located near one or another landowner's estate. As dusk fell, the gypsies lit fires and prepared dinner for themselves, after which the sounds of music and singing were heard. People flocked from all villages to watch them, and aside from their fun and dancing, gypsies predicted the future of women, girls and young ladies.

I was especially attracted to Masha - a beautiful dark, red-cheeked gypsy with black eyes that burned with fire, with wavy pitch-black hair, curls and curls of which completely covered her forehead, with black thick arched eyebrows. From all her travels, Masha always brought me gifts: sometimes some especially large hazelnuts, sometimes sunflowers, sometimes black pods, sometimes a clay cockerel, sometimes some tiny clay pot.

(According to E.N. Vodovozova.)

Early morning

Heavy, thick hands on a huge dial, white at an angle from the watchmaker's sign, showed thirty-six minutes to six. In the light blue of the sky, which had not yet warmed up after the night, one thin cloud turned pink, and there was something unearthly graceful in its elongated outline. The footsteps of infrequent passers-by sounded especially clear in the deserted air, and in the distance the bodily ebb trembled on the tram rails. A cart, loaded with huge bunches of violets, half covered with striped coarse cloth, quietly rolled along the panel; the merchant helped drag it to a large red dog, who, sticking out his tongue, leaned forward and strained all his dry, devoted muscles.

Sparrows flew up from the black branches of slightly green trees with an airy rustle and sat on a narrow ledge of a high brick wall.

The shops were still asleep behind bars, the houses were only lit from above, but it was impossible to imagine that it was sunset and not early morning. Due to the fact that the shadows lay in the opposite direction, strange combinations were created, unexpected for an eye well accustomed to evening shadows...

Everything seemed out of place, fragile, upside down, like in a mirror...

He looked around and at the end of the street he saw the illuminated corner of the house where he had just lived in the past and where he would never return again. And there was a wonderful mystery in this departure of an entire house from his life. (According to V. Nabokov.)

Sea and forest

(1) Shaggy gray clouds, like a broken flock of frightened birds, rush low over the sea. (2) A piercing, sharp wind from the ocean either knocks them into a dark solid mass, or, as if playing, tears them apart and rushes about, piling them up into bizarre shapes.

(3) The sea turned white and began to rustle with bad weather. (4) The leaden waters rise heavily and, swirling with bubbling foam, roll with a dull roar into the hazy distance. (5) The wind angrily rummages across their shaggy surface, carrying salty spray far away. (6) And along the radiating shore, white jagged piles of ice piled up on the shallows rise massively in a colossal ridge. (7) It was as if the titans, in a heavy grip, had thrown these gigantic fragments.

(8) Breaking off in steep ledges from the coastal heights, a dense forest gloomily advanced towards the sea itself. (9) The wind hums the red trunks of centuries-old pines, tilts slender spruce trees, shaking their sharp tops and showering fluffy snow from sadly drooping green branches.

(10) Gray centuries pass without a trace over the silent country, and the dense forest stands and calmly, gloomily, as if in deep thought, sways its dark peaks. (11) Not one of its mighty trunks has yet fallen under the daring ax of a greedy timber merchant: swamps and impenetrable swamps lie in its dark thicket. (12) And where the hundred-year-old pines turned into small bushes, the lifeless tundra stretched out like a dead expanse and was lost as an endless border in the cold darkness of the low-hanging fog.

(9) It’s quiet all around! (10) The grove seems huge. (11) The trees seem to have moved together and seem to be conspiring, as if they are revealing an important secret. (12) Suddenly, an iridescent ringing is heard: it is a postal carriage passing along the high road. (13) The jingling of bells can be heard from afar. (14) It will fall silent for a minute; the troika must have driven over the mountain.

(15) How exciting is the sound of postal bells at night! (16) You know, there’s no one to wait for. (17) And yet, when you hear this silvery ringing on the road, your heart will begin to beat and suddenly be pulled somewhere into the distance, to some unknown countries. (18) How good life is!

Literacy in Rus'

(1) Now no one considers it supernatural and inexplicable that from the beginning of Christianity until the Mongol-Tatar invasion, Kievan Rus was a country of high and beautiful written culture. (2) The introduction of Christianity and its integration into Byzantine literature established the continuity of two written cultures. (3) This greatly increased the interest of the Eastern Slavs in the book and contributed to the spread of writing at the dawn of its civilization.

(4) It is not without reason that it is assumed that literacy was adopted in our country within a very short time and developed unhindered at first. (5) Nothing blocked the people’s path to literacy, and our ancestors quickly mastered the comparative high level letters. (6) This is confirmed by surviving inscriptions on wooden objects, for example, on spinning wheels, on fancy combs for combing flax, on unpretentious pottery, and on various pieces of wood not suitable for display.

(7) It is not for nothing that science attaches great importance to the study of ancient objects. (8) Without exaggeration, we can say that archaeological finds have exceeded all the expectations of scientists, revealing pictures of living antiquity. (9) In the well-known excavations near Novgorod, which were carried out for ten years, extremely interesting letters on birch bark were found. (10) This is an unprecedented discovery in archeology: they capture the original prehistory of the Russian book.

(11) We walked along the edge of a very deep gorge, at the bottom of which water ran towards us from the glaciers, trying to merge with other rivers. (12) The sky above the peaks surrounding us cleared, and within an hour the stars lit up on it. (According to V. Soloukhin.)

(5) The dogs ran and barked, and the canaries hanging in the cages, fluttering incessantly, vied with each other and tore their throats.

(6) In the midst of too much deafening fun, incomprehensible to the understanding of the servants, a dirty carriage drove up to the gate, and a man of about forty slowly climbed out of it and stopped in amazement.

Christmas tree in a trench

It was in the winter of one thousand nine hundred and forty-one in besieged Leningrad. There had been no electricity for many days and nights, the water was frozen in the pipes, and for the last three days of December no one in the entire city received bread.

During these most difficult days for Leningrad, the Nazis intensified their bombardment of the city. We boys often spent the night in trenches dug in front of our house. They were warmer, there was almost always a candle or a lantern burning, and most importantly, they were always crowded. Not far from us there was a battery of anti-aircraft guns guarding one of the Neva bridges. Sometimes artillerymen looked into our trench. How we rejoiced every time they came! They arranged it for us Christmas tree.

Don't think it was a big, lush tree. Its height was no more than a meter; several branches were covered with tiny light green needles. But she was all covered in toys. There were also several rifle casings hanging on the tree, and on the very top of the head was a brightly polished Red Army badge with a five-pointed star.

Where the artillerymen got the Christmas tree remains a mystery to us. We all knew that there were no Christmas trees anywhere nearby. We sat spellbound, staring at a few crackling candle stubs, probably left over from the previous year. There was no dancing or cheerful laughter around our Christmas tree. And instead of gifts, the anti-aircraft gunners gave each of us a piece of sugar.

(According to F. Bezdudny.)

Magic street

When a person dreams too much, severe disappointments await him. That's what happened to me.

Immersed in a pink cloud of memories of wonderful fairy tales, I, I don’t know how, wandered onto an unfamiliar street. Suddenly I stopped, amazed by sounds that I had never heard before.

I looked around: the street was paved and cleanly swept. It became absolutely clear to me that nothing interesting would be found here.

On both sides of this clean street, beautiful wooden houses were lined up, hidden in the greenery of the gardens, like bird’s nests.

It was getting dark. In the depths of the street, behind the trees of a large park, the sun was setting. A bright crimson sky shone through the branches. The short, hot rays of the sunset glowed in the glass windows, even the pavement stones turned bright red.

Streams of light poured from all sides, and it seemed that the entire street was engulfed in a play of magical flame; branches, shrouded in golden transparent dust, dozed in the pink fragrant air; everything was reminiscent of fairy-tale cities of heroes, sorceresses and other wonderful creatures.

From behind a hedge of acacia and lilac a house with green shutters peeked out, and from its open windows came sounds like sun rays kissing the surface of a calm lake.

I immediately realized that I had entered the boundaries of a magical kingdom, and, of course, I decided to go exploring the mysterious country in order to touch and enjoy its countless wonders with my own hands.

Rowan

In autumn, when it gets colder, the river is light to the bottom, and the forest edges are visible through, and cobwebs sparkle on the dew-wet grass, and flocks of young ducks fly in the clear, transparent air. Suddenly, out of all the copses, elegant rowan trees hung with clusters come to the fore: here we are, don’t miss them, they say, don’t neglect our berries, we are generous! The breeze strokes them, ruffles them from top to bottom, and the birds on each branch fatten, flying, as if from guest to guest, from one golden peak to another, and they stand, swaying slightly, and admire themselves.

The rain will pour and the entire river bank will sparkle. Water flows from rowan berries, drop by drop, the berries are red, and the drops are red. Where one berry hung, now there are two, and both are alive. The more rain, the more berries in the forest.

Everything, of course, can become familiar, you get used to everything over time, but it’s hard not to notice. You will raise your head and unexpectedly, as if after a long absence, you will see all this beauty in a surprisingly pure, bewitching radiance. You will see everything again, as if for the first time, and you will be happy for yourself that you saw it. You can never forget this, either in reality or in a dream. This is what it is, our mountain ash!

(According to A. Yashin.)

Blizzard night

It was night and a blizzard was beginning. My hearing caught some strange sounds, as if a quiet whisper or someone’s sighs from the street passed through the walls into my small room, two-thirds buried in shadow. It must have been snow, blown up by the wind, rustling against the walls of the house and the glass of the windows. Something light and white flashed past the window in the air, flashed past and disappeared, blowing cold air into the soul.

I went to the window and looked out onto the street, leaning my head, heated by the work of my imagination, against the cold frame. The street was deserted. A flashlight was burning opposite my window. Its light trembled, fighting the wind, a trembling strip of light stretched out in the air like a wide sword, and snow fell from the roofs of houses, flying into this strip, and, having flown in, flashed in it for a moment with multi-colored sparks. I felt sad and cold looking at this play of the wind. I quickly undressed, turned off the lamp and went to bed.

When the fire went out and darkness filled my room, the sounds seemed to become more audible, and the window looked straight at me as a large dull white spot. The clock hastily counted the seconds, sometimes the rustle of snow drowned out their dispassionate work, but then again I heard the sound of seconds falling into eternity. At times they sounded with such distinct clarity that it was as if a clock were inside my head.

Autograph in the elevator

A duel between fans of wall autographs, on the one hand, and housing office workers, on the other, lasted for a week in our elevator. The elevator, heavily painted and scratched by keys and nails, was covered with new panels. Attached in a prominent place was a sheet of Whatman paper with the message: “Dear wits! If any of you are looking forward to practicing your wit, this piece of paper is at your service.” A few days later I saw the first writing on the wall. It was like a signal. The intelligent attempt of the housing office workers failed.

How, in fact, can we get through to these “draftsmen”? To say that behind the polished panels there is the work of lumberjacks, carpenters, and polishers? That for people with other ideas about order and cleanliness, their inscriptions and drawings are offensive and incomprehensible? Perhaps this will not work on everyone. The disrespect for others started earlier. They failed to instill the habit of taking into account the well-being of others and appreciating other people’s work.

To compare any of your actions or impulses with how it will affect other people - this, in my opinion, lies the origins of the education of kindness and humanity.

(According to A. Vasinsky.)

Happiness

In fact, when is a person happy? When he achieves what he wants. The strength of the experience depends on the strength of the desire. And if a person passionately desires to achieve some goal, if this desire does not give him peace, if he does not sleep at night because of this passion, then the satisfaction of the desire brings him such happiness that the whole world seems to him to shine, the earth sings under him .

And even if the goal has not yet been achieved, it is important that the person passionately desires to achieve it. Then a person reveals his abilities, passionately fights against all obstacles, every step forward showers him with a wave of happiness, every failure hits him like a scourge, a person suffers and rejoices, cries and laughs - a person lives. But if there are no such passionate desires, then there is no life. A person devoid of desires is a pitiful person. He has nowhere to draw life from; he is deprived of the sources of life.

Pisarev was absolutely right when he said that the greatest happiness of a person is to fall in love with an idea to which one can devote oneself undividedly without hesitation.

In addition, it is pleasant to devote oneself to a cause that ultimately enriches the lives of all humanity. A person has no right to rejoice and contribute to causes that cause children to waste away and the eyes of adults to grow dull.

(According to S. Chekmarev.)

Love for the sea

The night was dark, thick layers of shaggy clouds moved across the sky, the sea was calm, black and thick, like oil. It breathed a damp, salty aroma and sounded tenderly, splashing against the sides of the ships, on the shore, slightly rocking Chelkash’s boat. The dark skeletons of ships rose from the sea to a distant space from the shore, piercing sharp masts with multi-colored lanterns on the tops into the sky. The sea reflected the lights of the lanterns and was dotted with a mass of yellow spots. They fluttered beautifully on his velvet. The sea slept in the healthy, sound sleep of a worker who was very tired during the day.

The clouds crawled slowly, now merging, now overtaking each other, mixing their colors and shapes, absorbing themselves and re-emerging in new shapes, majestic and gloomy...

He, a thief, loved the sea. His ebullient, nervous nature, greedy for impressions, was never satiated by the contemplation of this dark breadth, boundless, free and powerful. Sitting at the stern, he cut the water with the rudder and looked ahead calmly, full of desire to ride long and far along this velvet surface.

At sea, a broad, warm feeling always rose in him, covering his entire soul, it cleansed it a little from everyday filth. At night, the soft sound of his sleepy breath floats smoothly over the sea, this immense sound infuses calm into a person’s soul and, gently taming its evil impulses, gives birth to powerful dreams in it... (According to M. Gorky.)

Mikhailovskoe and Trigorskoe

The cart drove into a centuries-old pine forest. There was something white in the grass on the side of the road.

I jumped off the cart, bent down and saw a plank overgrown with bindweed. There was an inscription on it in black paint. I pulled away the wet stems of bindweed and read almost forgotten words: "IN different years I appeared under your canopy, Mikhailovsky Groves.”

Then I came across such tablets in the most unexpected places: in the unmown meadows above Sorotya, on the sandy slopes on the road from Mikhailovskoye to Trigorskoye - everywhere simple Pushkin stanzas sounded from the grass, from the heather, from the dry strawberries.

I traveled almost the entire country, saw many places, amazing and heart-tugging, but none of them possessed such sudden lyrical power as Mikhailovskoe.

It was difficult to imagine that along these simple roads with traces of bast shoes, over anthills and gnarled roots, Pushkin’s riding horse walked and easily carried its silent rider.

I remember forests, lakes, parks and the sky. This is almost the only thing that has survived here from Pushkin’s times. The local nature is untouched by anyone. She is very well taken care of. When it was necessary to supply electricity to the reserve, they decided to run the wires underground so as not to install poles. The pillars would immediately destroy the Pushkin-like charm of these deserted places. (According to K. Paustovsky.)

10th grade
Control dictation based on the results academic year

A drop of heaven on earth

In a forest tired of the burden of winter, when the awakened buds have not yet blossomed, when the sad stumps of winter felling have not yet sprouted, but are already crying, when dead brown leaves lie in a layer, when bare branches do not rustle yet, but only slowly touch each other, unexpectedly I could smell the snowdrop!

Barely noticeable, but it is the smell of awakening life, and therefore it is trembling and joyful, although almost imperceptible. I look around and it turns out he’s nearby. There is a flower standing on the ground, a tiny drop of heaven, such a simple and frank harbinger of joy and happiness, to whom it is due and available. But for everyone, both happy and unhappy, he is now an adornment of life.

This is how it is among us: there are modest people with a pure heart, with a huge soul. They decorate life, containing all the best that exists in humanity: kindness, simplicity, trust. So a snowdrop seems like a drop of heaven on earth.

If I were a writer, I would definitely address this: “O restless man! If you want to rest your soul, go to the snowdrops in the forest in early spring, and you will see a beautiful dream of reality. Go quickly: in a few days there may be no snowdrops, and you will not be able to remember the magic of the vision given by nature. Snowdrops – fortunately, people say.”

(According to G. Troepolsky.)

Grandfather's house

Now, no matter where I live, I have no trace of that hot, joyful craving for the city that I had in my youth. On the contrary, more and more often I feel that I miss my grandfather’s house.

Maybe because grandfather’s house no longer exists - the old ones died, and the young ones moved to the city or closer to it. And when he was there, I still didn’t have enough time to be there more often, I kept it in reserve. And now there is no one there, and it seems to me that I have been robbed, that some of my main roots have been cut off.

Even if I was there rarely, with his very life, with his hearth smoke, with the kind shadow of his trees, he helped me from afar, made me bolder and more self-confident. When a person feels his beginning and his continuation, he manages his life more generously and correctly and it is more difficult to rob him, because he does not keep all his wealth to himself.

I miss my grandfather's house with its big green yard, with the old apple tree, with the green tent. walnut. How many unripe apples we picked from our old apple tree, how many unripe nuts, covered with a thick green peel with a still tender shell, with a kernel not yet thickened inside!

(According to F. Iskander.)

Memories of the Motherland

One day, starlings flew to my watch during an October, autumn, stormy day. We raced in the night from the shores of Iceland to Norway on a ship illuminated by powerful lights. And in this foggy world tired constellations arose...

When I raised the binoculars to my eyes, the white superstructures of the ship, rescue whaleboats and birds swayed in the glass - wet lumps fluffed up by the wind. They rushed between the antennas and tried to hide from the wind behind the pipe.

These small, fearless birds chose the deck of our ship as a temporary shelter on their long journey to the south. Of course, I remembered Savrasov: rooks, spring, there is still snow, and the trees have woken up. And in general I remembered everything that happens around us and what happens inside our souls when the Russian spring comes and the rooks and starlings arrive. It takes you back to childhood.

And let them criticize our Russian artists for their old-fashioned and literary subjects. The names of Savrasov, Levitan, Serov, Korovin, Kustodiev hide not only the eternal joy of life in art. It is Russian joy that is hidden, with all its tenderness, modesty and depth. And just as simple a Russian song is, so simple is painting.

Art is art when it evokes in a person a feeling of happiness, albeit fleeting. And we are designed in such a way that the most piercing happiness arises in us when we feel love for Russia. (According to V. Konetsky.)

How does an increase in the influx of tourists affect the exchange rate? What is the tax revenue of the budget? No, this is not a final exam for bankers, but the second event “All-Russian Economic Dictation”, which took place yesterday. “VM” correspondent checked her financial literacy

There are 20 questions on the standard exam form. There are at least several hundred Muscovites in the audience. By the way, this year the economic dictation is being written not only in the regions of Russia, but also in Tajikistan, Mongolia and the Transnistrian Moldavian Republic. However, despite all the assurances of the organizers that the questions are aimed at the average citizen without a specialized education, stupor sets in within the first minutes. So: “With what precious metal or other valuables is the relationship of the Russian ruble established?”

It seems easy, but even a schoolchild knows that the exchange rate of the domestic currency has not depended on gold or anything else for a long time. But with the third one you have to remember everything latest news. “Is cryptocurrency legal tender in Russia?” It seems that no restrictions on use were introduced, crypto conferences are held almost every week, which means “yes”.

The All-Russian economic dictation was conceived as one of the stages of solving the problem of gaps in knowledge of economics among our population, says the chairman of the organizing committee of the action, Sergei Bodrunov. - Not everyone has a good understanding of where we are heading, how banks work, how the tax system functions. And our main goal is to pay attention to these critical moments. Are you dreaming of your own business? Do you know which body carries out the registration of an individual entrepreneur? But one more question will confuse even a person with a philological education: “What kind of business deal was the cat Matroskin going to make with his cow in the cartoon “Prostokvashino”: leasing, franchise, loan or rent?”

This year’s questions affect theory, banking, and the taxation system, says the rector of the Financial University under the Russian Government, Mikhail Eskindarov. - I would link this promotion to that program to improve the level financial literacy population, which is already in full swing.

The “All-Russian Economic Dictation” event was organized by the Free Economic Society of Russia with the participation of Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Russian Economic University named after G. V. Plekhanov, . Last year, during the event, the All-Russian Economic Dictation was written by more than 59 thousand participants at 638 sites in 80 regions of the Russian Federation. The theme of this year's dictation is “Strong economy - prosperous Russia!”
