Christmas & Holidays Dictation: Visitors, Cards and Gifts

Listen for the action around the card or gift. Posting, wrapping and opening happen at different times, so the verb helps you picture the sentence. A parcel is a package, and an envelope holds a card or letter. Gifts and presents can mean the same thing, but write the word the speaker uses. Then check who receives or brings it. You do not need to celebrate the occasion to follow the small, everyday actions and write what you hear.
