Record-holder for Radio Dictation Assessed This Year's Task

Record-holder for the number of Radio Dictations of National Unity written, Khrystyna Hoyanyuk, shared her impressions of this year’s exercise. She called the text, authored by writer and veteran Artur Dron, very good and noted that the narrator read it successfully. This was reported by Hlavcom, citing her comment to Suspilne.

This year Hoyanyuk wrote the Radio Dictation of National Unity at the Superhumans rehabilitation center. According to her, the text was of average difficulty, although it contained quite a few punctuation marks.

“A very good text. I don’t want to say coarse words, but I thought it would be worse. But the text was well dictated,” Hoyanyuk said.

She added that the piece contained many colons, exclamation marks, and question marks. Punctuation could be one of the challenges for dictation participants.

This year’s Radio Dictation of National Unity text is titled “The Letter That Never Ends.” Its author is writer and veteran Artur Dron.

The Radio Dictation of National Unity unites Ukrainians in Ukraine and abroad every year, who take part in writing the exercise to test their knowledge of the Ukrainian language and support a shared linguistic tradition.

By the way, Ukraine’s Minister of Culture Tetiana Berezhna also joined in writing the All-Ukrainian Radio Dictation of National Unity. People’s Artist Natalia Sumska, who narrated the dictation last year, also took part in writing it.

It is worth noting that this year’s readers of the Radio Dictation of National Unity were Ukrainian language and literature teacher Artur Proydakov and singer Dasha Astafieieva. The dictation was held today, 27 October, on the Day of Ukrainian Writing and Language
