    Athlete Вы очень хорошо прочли текст. В слове ЕСТЬ мягкий знак не нужен. Это слово ЕСТ, то есть кушает. А так, very well!

    There is only one mistake.

    Мальчик третий человек, который *ест* конфету сегодня.

    "Есть" - it's an indefinite form of the verb, similar to "to eat". But in english you won't use indefinite form of this verb, so the same is in russian.

    Just put it in the present tense: "ест" (similar to english "eat / eats").

    Great job, Ed!!! We do not use "ь" at the word end if we want to say "he eats". "Есть" = " is" And your speech is very good!

    Великолепно! 

    Только ударение в заголовке "Даты и местА". Stress the last syllable.

    The last sentence was read perfectly well, better than it is in written form. It should be written as you have read.

    Great job, Ed.

    Thanks for inviting to review your submission.

    I don't understand why everyone mentioned a soft sign in "есть". You created the last sentence correctly. And there is nothing to correct. 

    You did the submission flawlessly.

    Отлично!

    This lesson have a mistake. Instead of "есть" here should be "ест". But I didn't hear mistake in your speech.

    You did a small changes in last sentence and this became more natural! Five stars! ;-)

    One correction:

    You should speak "даты и местА". Compare this phrases:

    Я знаю три мЕста (чего?), где отлично готовят (about restaurants, cafe etc).

    Есть местА (что?) в Сент-Луисе, которые я люблю.

    Happy New Year, Ed!

    Well done! I can add to the previous comments.only one small suggestion. It is about your pronouciation of the word "...второго" in the beginning of the paragraph. You said [фторова], but it is pronounced as [фтарова]. N.B.: Only Russians living in Vologda pronounce unstressed O as it written. But all others Russians pronounce unstressed О as А. ...... it just for your mental outlook

    All the rest was almost perfect!

    Best regards.
