     Два пальцы ліхаманкава бегаюць па клавіятуры пішучай машынкі. Колькі ні дапякалі Кастуся на журфаку, ён так і не навучыўся друкаваць прафесійна.

     Dva palʹcy lixamankava bjehajucʹ pa klavijatury pišučaj mašynki. Kólʹki ni dapjakali Kastusja na žurfaku, jon tak i nje navučyŭsja drukavacʹ prafjesijna.

     Two fingers frantically raced across the typewriter keyboard. No matter how much Kastuś was scolded when he used to be a journalism student, he never learned how to type professionally.
