18 participants will be able to test their literacy by pre-registering. It is open on the Total Dictation website. This year, the test text for the dictation was prepared by writer Marina Stepnova
The dictation text will be read by Anna Delianidi, philologist and teacher.
After writing the dictation, the participants will be given a tour of the company's Unified Dispatch Center, where Aeroexpress employees will show in real time how the movement of Aeroexpress trains is coordinated in all directions, the security status and changes in the operational situation at the facilities are monitored.
Aeroexpress will be one of the venues for the Total Dictation for the second time. Last year, 40 participants wrote a dictation right on the train moving from Savelovsky Station to Sheremetyevo. The text was read by actress, singer and public figure Anastasia Denisova.
