Dictation Passage for Week 2:
Gran likes toffee with her coffee.  The peewee ate a beetle.  I began to sweat when he made the threat.  It is a pleasure to measure the weight of the treasure.  Your suit looks like a bag of fruit.  I got a bruise on the cruise.  It is such a nuisance to have to train these raw recruits.
