Dictation
Was early spring
The evening dawn was just beginning, and it was already twilight between the trees, although the leaves had not yet appeared. Everyone's down in dark colors. The trunks, last year's dark brown leaves, brown-gray dry grass stems and rose hips looked like coffee beans.
The branches rustled slightly from the light wind. They seemed to be feeling each other, sometimes touching the ends, sometimes lightly touching the middle of the branches. The tops of the trunks swayed gently. The trees seemed alive even if they were leafless. Everything was mysteriously rustling and thickly smelling. Behind every tree there is something unfamiliar, mysterious. Bim did not move further than twenty steps from Ivan Ivanovich. It will run forward, then left, right and roll back. He looks me in the face and asks: “Why did we come here?”

Read the text and complete tasks 20–25.
(1) It was early spring. (2) The evening dawn was just beginning, and it was already twilight between the trees, although the leaves had not yet appeared. (3) Everything below is in dark colors: trunks, last year’s dark brown leaves, brown-gray dry stems of grass, even rose hips, deep ruby in the fall, now, having withstood the winter, seemed like coffee beans. (4) The branches rustled slightly from the light wind; they seemed to be feeling each other thinly and barely, now touching the ends, now lightly touching the middle of the branches: are they alive? (5) The tops of the trunks swayed gently - the trees seemed alive even if they were leafless. (6) Everything was mysteriously rustling and thickly fragrant: both the trees and the foliage underfoot, soft, with the spring smell of forest earth.
(7) In a forest tired of the burden of winter, when the awakened buds have not yet blossomed, when the sorrowful stumps of the winter felling have not yet sprouted, but are already crying, when the dead brown leaves lie in a layer, when the bare branches do not yet rustle, but only slowly touch each other friend, - the smell of snowdrops suddenly reached me! (8) Barely noticeable, but it is the smell of awakening life, and therefore it is trembling and joyful, although almost imperceptible. (9) I look around - it turns out he’s nearby. (10) There is a flower standing on the ground, a tiny drop blue sky, such a simple and frank harbinger of joy and happiness, to whom it is due and available. (11) But for everyone, both happy and unhappy, he is now the adornment of life.
(12) That’s how it is among us: there is modest people With with a pure heart, “inconspicuous” and “small”, but with a huge soul. (13) They decorate life, containing all the best that exists in humanity - kindness, simplicity, trust. (14) So a snowdrop seems like a drop of heaven on earth...
(15) A few days later I was in the same place again. (16) The sky has already sprinkled the forest with thousands of blue drops. (17) I search, I look out: where is he, the very first, the bravest? (18) It seems that here he is. (19) Is he or is he not? (20) I don’t know. (21) There are so many of them that he can no longer be noticed, cannot be found - he got lost among those following him, mixed with them. (22) But he is so small, but heroic, so quiet, but so assertive, that it seems that it was he who was frightened by the last frosts, surrendered, throwing out the white flag of the last frost at the edge of the early dawn. (23) Life goes on.
(24) And at home I thought about it. (25) Isn’t this a dream - yesterday’s spring forest with blue snowdrops on the ground? (26) Well: such dreams are a divinely healing medicine, albeit temporary. (27) Of course, temporary. (28) For if writers preached only beautiful dreams, leaving gray everyday life, then humanity would stop worrying about the future, accepting the present as eternal. (29) The destiny of doom in time is that the present should become only the past. (30) It is not in the power of a person to order: “Sun, stop!” (31) Time is unstoppable, unstoppable and inexorable. (32) Everything is in time and movement. (33) And the one who seeks only stable peace is all already in the past, whether he is young or old - age does not matter. (34) The beautiful has its own sound, it sounds like peace, oblivion, but only temporary, just for relaxation; You should never miss such moments.
(35) If I were a writer, I would definitely address this: “O restless person! (36) Glory to you forever, who thinks, who suffers for the sake of the future! (37) 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. (38) 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. (39) Go and rest. (40) Snowdrops, people say.”

1. The problem of perceiving the beauty of the surrounding nature. (How to see the beauty of the world around us?)
1. Anyone who is in the forest and notices the changes taking place in nature is able to see the beauty of the world around us. Thus, the awakening of nature in spring is accompanied by the most beautiful flowering of snowdrops and decorations of life.
2. The problem of the impact of nature on humans. (What influence does nature have on humans?)
2. The beauty of nature awakens in a person a feeling of joy and happiness, acts on him as a healing medicine, makes him think about beauty.
3. The problem of the commonality of nature and man. (What are the similarities between nature and man?)
3. There are many similarities and similarities between nature and man. So, both among people and among plants there are “inconspicuous”, “small”, “quiet” creatures, but heroic, assertive, with a huge soul.
4. The problem of the transience of time. (Can time be stopped?)
4. Time is unstoppable, unstoppable and inexorable, so we cannot miss moments when there is an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, to see the beauty of the world around us.
What impact does the beauty of nature have on humans? Russian writer G.N. thinks about this question in his text. Troepolsky.
In early spring, the hero of the text was walking through the forest when he “unexpectedly heard the smell of snowdrops,” “the smell of awakening life.” When looking at this “tiny drop of blue sky,” he felt joy and happiness, the forerunner of which was this small flower, the only one that made its way out from under the snow. Being in the same place a few days later, the hero already saw a lot of snowdrops, but did not feel the same joy, and kept looking for the very first one.
At home, the hero thought about the fact that such a “beautiful dream of reality” could and should only be temporary. Otherwise, “humanity would stop caring about the future” and would stop appreciating such rare, truly beautiful moments.
The beauty of nature awakens in Troepolsky a feeling of joy, happiness, acts on him as a healing medicine, but such moments of beauty in nature are actually very fleeting and one must be able to appreciate them - this is what he wanted to show us in his text.
And I agree with the writer. We see nature every day, it becomes an imperceptible noise in the background for us, but in rare moments - sunsets, sunrises, snowfalls, buds opening - we turn to it with our whole soul, we are saturated with its beauty with our whole being. And such moments remain in our memory forever.
I remember the story “Winter Oak” by Yu. Nagibin. Fifth-grader Savushkin was constantly late for class, although he lived closest to everyone. Anna Vasilyevna, his teacher, is going to visit Savushkin’s mother, and the boy leads her along the forest path along which he goes to school. As soon as the teacher entered winter forest, the reason for the fifth-grader’s constant tardiness became clear to her - she was surrounded by unprecedented beauty.
You can also recall an episode from the life of Natasha Rostova, the heroine of the novel by L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". It was a fresh night, in the almost starless spring sky there were luminaries full moon. Natasha could not sleep, enjoying the view from the window, and woke Sonya up so that she could also enjoy this lovely night. After all, there will be other nights, starry, snowy, but exactly the same - never again.
In conclusion, I can conclude that the beauty of nature has a strong influence on humans. It makes you think about beauty, a person feels the delight of life. The beauty of nature is an antidote to despondency and sadness, and happy is the one who knows how to see it.

The lesson is conducted with the aim of generalizing and expanding knowledge on this topic; improving the skills of morphemic and word-formation analysis; spelling skills in writing words with prefixes...
And in the second season, that is, in the third year from Bim’s birth, Ivan Ivanovich introduced him to the forest. It was very interesting for both the dog and the owner.
In the meadows and fields, everything is clear there: space, grass, bread, the owner is always visible, walk like a shuttle in a wide search, search, find, make a stand and wait for the order. Lovely! But here, in the forest, it’s a completely different matter.
It was early spring.
When they first arrived, the evening dawn was just beginning, and it was already twilight between the trees, although the leaves had not yet appeared. Everything below is in dark colors: trunks, last year's dark brown leaves, brown-gray dry stems of grass, even rose hips, deep ruby in the fall, now, having survived the winter, seemed like coffee beans.
The branches rustled slightly from the light wind; they seemed to be feeling each other thinly and barely, now touching the ends, now lightly touching the middle of the branches: is he alive? The tops of the trunks swayed gently - the trees seemed alive even if they were leafless. Everything was mysteriously rustling and thickly fragrant: the trees, and the foliage underfoot, soft, with the spring smell of forest soil, and Ivan Ivanovich’s steps, careful and quiet. His boots also rustled, and his footprints smelled much stronger than in the field. Behind every tree there is something unfamiliar, mysterious. That is why Bim did not leave Ivan Ivanovich more than twenty steps: he would run forward - left, right - and roll back and look him in the face, asking: “Why did we get here?”
– Don’t understand what’s what? - Ivan Ivanovich guessed. - You will understand, Bimka, you will understand. Wait a little.
So they walked, looking out for each other.
But then they stopped in a wide clearing, at the intersection of two clearings: roads on all four sides. Ivan Ivanovich stood behind a hazel bush, facing the dawn, and looked up. Bim also began to look there.
It was light above, but down here it was getting darker and darker. Someone rustled through the forest and became silent. He rustled some more and became quiet again. Bim pressed himself against Ivan Ivanovich’s leg - so he asked: “What is there? Who's there? Maybe we should go take a look?”
“Hare,” the owner said barely audibly. - Everything is fine, Bim. Fine. Hare. Let him run.
Well, if it’s “good”, then everything is in order. “Hare” is also understandable: more than once, when Bim came across the trail of an animal, this word was repeated to him. And once I saw the hare itself, tried to catch up with it, but received a strict warning and was punished. It is forbidden!
Suddenly, someone above, invisible and unknown, grunted: “Hor-hor!.. Hor-hor!.. Hor-hor!..” Bim heard this first and shuddered. The owner too. Both looked up, only up... Suddenly, against the background of a crimson-bluish dawn, a bird appeared along the clearing. She flew straight at them, occasionally screaming as if it were not a bird, but an animal, flying and grunting. But it was still a bird. It seemed big, but its wings were completely silent (not like a quail, partridge or duck). In a word, the unfamiliar was flying above.
Ivan Ivanovich raised his gun. Bim, as if on command, lay down, not taking his eyes off the bird... In the forest, the shot was so sharp and strong that Bim had never heard before. The echo rolled through the forest and froze far, far away.
The bird fell into the bushes, but friends quickly found it. Ivan Ivanovich put it in front of Bim and said:
- Meet my brother: woodcock. “And he repeated again: “Woodcock.”
Bim sniffed, touched with his paw long nose, then sat down, trembling and moving his front paws in surprise. Of course, this is what he said to himself: “I’ve never seen such noses before. This is really a no-no!”
And the forest made a little noise, but it became quieter and quieter. Then it suddenly became completely quiet, as if someone invisible had lightly flapped a mighty wing over the trees in last time: enough rustling. The branches became motionless, the trees seemed to fall asleep, except for the occasional shudder in the semi-darkness.
Three more woodcocks flew by, but Ivan Ivanovich did not shoot. Although they no longer saw the latter in the darkness, but only heard a voice, Bim was surprised: why his friend did not shoot even at those who were clearly visible. This made Bim worried. And Ivan Ivanovich either simply looked up, or, looking down, listened to the silence. Both were silent.
This is when no words are needed - neither for a person, nor especially for a dog!
Only in the end, before leaving, Ivan Ivanovich said:
- Okay, Bim! Life begins again. Spring.
By his intonation, Bim understood that his friend was now pleased. And he poked his nose into his knee, wagging his tail: okay, they say, what are we talking about!
...The second time they came here late in the morning, but without a gun.
The fragrant swollen birch buds, the powerful smells of roots, the thinnest streams from the sprouts of herbs - all this was amazingly new and delightful. The sun penetrated through everything in the forest, except for the pine forest, and even that was cut up here and there by golden rays. And it was quiet. The main thing was that it was quiet. How beautiful is the spring morning silence in the forest!
This time Bim became bolder: everything is clearly visible (not like then, in the twilight). And he rushed through the forest to his heart's content, without, however, losing sight of his owner. Everything was great.
Finally, Bim came across a thread of woodcock scent. And he pulled. And did a classic stance. Ivan Ivanovich sent “forward”, but he had nothing to shoot with. Moreover, he ordered me to lie down, as it should be when a bird takes off. It is absolutely unclear: does the owner see or not?
Bim looked sideways at him until he was sure that he saw him.
For the second woodcock everything turned out the same way. Bim now still expressed something similar to resentment: a wary look, jogging to the side, even attempts at disobedience - in a word, discontent was brewing and was looking for a way out. That is why Bim chased the woodcock that had taken off, the third one, like an ordinary mongrel. But you can’t jump far after a woodcock: it flashes in the branches, and it’s gone. Bim returned dissatisfied, and besides, he was punished. Well, he lay down on the side and took a deep breath (dogs are great at doing that).
All this could still have been endured if a second insult had not been added. This time Bim discovered a new flaw in the owner - a perverted instinct: already insensitive, and even...
And it was like this.
Ivan Ivanovich stopped and looked, looked around and sniffed (right there!). Then he stepped towards the tree, sat down and quietly, with one finger, stroked the flower, so tiny (for Ivan Ivanovich it was almost odorless, but for Bim it was incredibly smelly). And what does he need in that flower? But the owner sat and smiled. Bim, of course, pretended that he also seemed to feel good, but this was only purely out of respect for the individual, but in fact he was quite surprised.
- Look, look, Bim! - Ivan Ivanovich exclaimed and tilted the dog’s nose towards the flower.
Bim could no longer bear this - he turned away. Then he immediately walked away and lay down in the clearing, expressing one thing with all his appearance: “Well, smell your flower!” The discrepancies required an urgent clarification of the relationship, but the owner laughed in Bim’s eyes with a happy laugh. And it was insulting. “Me too, he’s laughing!”
And he goes back to the flower:
- Hello, first one!
Bim understood for sure: “hello” was not said to him.
Jealousy crept into the dog's soul, so to speak, that's what happened. Although relations at home seemed to have improved, it was a bad day for Bim: there was game - they didn’t shoot, he ran after the bird - he was punished, and what’s more - it was a flower. No, after all, even a dog’s life can be a dog’s life, for it lives under the hypnosis of three “pillars”: “impossible”, “back”, “good”.
Only they did not know, neither Bim nor Ivan Ivanovich, that once this day, if they remembered, would have seemed to them great happiness.
Notes from the owner
In a forest tired of the burden of winter, when the awakened buds have not yet blossomed, when the sad stumps of the winter felling have not yet sprouted, but are already crying, when the dead brown leaves lie in a layer, when the bare branches do not rustle yet, but only slowly touch each other, - suddenly the smell of snowdrops came! 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 blue sky, 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 humans: there are modest people with a pure heart, “inconspicuous” and “small”, but 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...
And a few days later (yesterday) Bim and I were in the same place. The sky has already sprinkled the forest with thousands of blue drops. I search, I look out: where is he, the very first, the bravest? It seems that this is it. He or not him? Don't know. There are so many of them that he can no longer be noticed, cannot be found - he got lost among those following him, mixed with them. But he is so small, but heroic, so quiet, but so assertive, that it seems that it was he who was frightened by the last frosts, surrendered, throwing out the white flag of the last frost at the edge of the early dawn. Life goes on.
...And Bim cannot understand any of this. I was even offended for the first time and became jealous. However, when there were already a lot of flowers, he did not pay attention to them even then. During the training, he behaved not so well: he was upset without a gun. He and I are at different stages of development, but we are very, very close. Nature creates according to a stable law: the necessity of one in the other, from the simplest to the highly developed life, everywhere - this law... Could I have endured such terrible loneliness if there had been no Bim?
How I needed her! She also loved snowdrops. The past is like a dream...
Isn't it a dream - the real thing? Isn't this a dream - yesterday's spring forest with blue on the ground? Well: blue dreams– a divinely healing medicine, albeit temporary. Of course, temporary. For even if writers preached only blue dreams, moving away from the gray color, then humanity would stop worrying about the future, accepting the present as eternal and future. The destiny of doom in time is that the present must become only the past. It is not in the power of a person to command: “Sun, stop!” Time is unstoppable, unstoppable and inexorable. Everything is in time and movement. And the one who seeks only stable peace is all in the past, whether he is a young man who cares about himself or an old man - age does not matter. Blue has its own sound, it sounds like peace, oblivion, but only temporary, just for relaxation; You should never miss such moments.
If I were a writer, I would definitely address this: “O restless man! Glory to you forever, who thinks, who suffers for the sake of the future! 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. Go get some rest. Snowdrops – fortunately, people say.”
...And Bim is sleeping. And he sees a dream: he kicks his legs - he runs in his sleep. This one doesn’t care about snowdrops: he sees blue only as gray (that’s how a dog’s vision works). Nature has created a kind of denigrator of reality. Go and convince him, dear friend, so that he can see from a human point of view. Even if you cut off the head, you will see it your own way. A completely independent dog.
