Task 12 dictation
Mr. Jones was very fond of climbing mountains, so one year he went to Switzerland for his holidays. After he had climbed some easy mountains, he decided one day to climb a more difficult one. But he did not want to go up it alone, so he found a good Swiss guide, who had often climbed that mountain.
At first it was not a difficult climb, but then they came to a place which was not so easy. The guide stopped, turned around, and warned Mr. Jones. “Be careful here,” he said. “This is a dangerous place. You can easily fall, and if you do, you will fall straight down a very long way. But”, he continued calmly, “if you do fall here, don’t forget to look to the right while you are going down. There is quite an extraordinarily beautiful view there"much more beautiful than the one you can see from here.”
