This week we've been looking at direct speech and reported speech in detail. We focused on the format and punctuation used in direct speech which is written in a text. We also looked at the various rules concerning reported speech and a huge variety of reporting verbs (not just say, tell and ask!). Some information can be found in your grammar book, Unit 9.
We also started to listen to some of your news stories in class on Thursday. Please remember that I would really like to see your written article summaries. You can either bring them to class or send them to me via e-mail.
You should now be starting to read the short stories too. Here's where to start:
1st year students
Roald Dahl - 'The Landlady'
If you like you can follow this link to read/listen to this article on-line (thanks to the British Council).
2nd year students
Charles Dickens - 'The Signalman'
Have a good weekend, see you next week.
