DICTATION 5º C APRIL 28TH

I hope this is the right file:

Spain is known worldwide for its cuisine. Tapas bars and paella can be seen in many different countries around the world. Similarly, Spain itself has witnessed an increasing number of immigrants from almost every part of the world. The influence of different cultures has had a tremendous effect on the restaurant scene in Madrid.

One of the major immigrant groups in Madrid come from Asia. Asia has brought a new culinary influence to the madrileño food scene. On March 7, 2014, I attended a very nice sushi restaurant near the Bilbao metro stop. Sumo is a sushi buffet and restaurant. The restaurant serves sushi, warm foods, noodles, soups, salads

Thanks for your patience!

MAY 8TH DICTATION 5º C

Today's dictation is:

As I was walking through plaza Dos de Mayo a few weekends ago, I came across Calle Velarde. On this street there is a collage of colorful graffiti painted on the buildings. There is a tattoo shop at the end of the street right next to the plaza. This street also has several vintage clothing shops.

Located just off the metro tribunal stop, Calle Velarde is every artistic person’s dream. The first shop I came across was “Pulcas,” Owned by a very kind older woman. This shop sells primarily women’s clothing. The shop has a unique style. The clothes look as if they are from the 1920’s. When I entered I saw racks of lavish fur coats. After passing the coats I came across a Varity of skirts, dresses and shoes. The prints on the clothing were bold and colorful. I walked deeper into the store and at the very end were old books and artworks. Pulcas is a magnificent place, you see the evolution of Spanish style in this place.

HAVE FUN!!!
