Task 3:(10mins)

Compound dictation

Listen to a short passage concerning frankness and fill in the missing information.

You must study to be frank with the world.     1     is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion. If a friend asks a      2    , you should grant it if it is      3     ; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You would wrong him and wrong yourself by      4      of any kind.

Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one. The man who requires you to do so is dearly       5   . Deal kindly but firmly with all your classmates. You will find it the      6    which wears best. Above all, do not      7     others what you are not.

If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him, not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experiment than that of     8     to do one thing before a man's face and another behind his back. We should say and do nothing to the     9      of anyone. It is not only a matter of     10    , but also the path of peace and honor.
