Month 9 review

A short story, ten questions across the whole week, extra practice from earlier weeks, your words and your can-do list. About 60 minutes.

1Story of the week 15 minutes

A weekend at the dacha. Everything here comes from Month 9.

In the exam every text is played once: try the story by ear first.

Дача (The dacha)

Первого июня было тепло, плюс двадцать пять градусов.

Иван с семьёй поехал на дачу.

Днём они гуляли в лесу, а вечером купались на реке.

«Если завтра тоже будет солнечно, мы останемся ещё на день», — сказал папа.
