Handout number two School: Colégio Militar 11 th Grade Level VII Teacher Trainer: Dr. António Figueiredo Teacher Trainee: M. da Conceição Seixas Name: School year: 2009/2010 Number: Date : Reading and Comprehension Worksheet Read the following text very carefully: On the way back from New Haven we were driving along the Housatonic(*). It was a beautiful day. We stopped to have dinner but the restaurants at the river s edge turned out not to be restaurants at all but dark, run-down bars with, curiously, no views of the river. So we drove on to Newtown, where we saw many cars parked around a restaurant that appeared to have a colonial atmosphere. I said, All those cars are a good sign. Let s eat there. When we got in, we were in a large dining room with very few people eating. The waitress seemed slightly giddy. David Tudor ordered some ginger ale, and after quite a long time was served some Coca-Cola, which he refused. Later we both ordered parfaits, mine was to be chocolate, his to be strawberry. As the waitress entered the kitchen, she shouted, Two chocolate parfaits. When David Tudor explained to her later that he had ordered strawberry, she said, They made some mistake in the kitchen. I said, there must be another dining room in this building with a lot of people eating in it. The waitress said, Yes. It s downstairs and there are only two of us for each floor and we keep running back and forth. VI

Direct Speech We can show that words are in direct speech by putting the original words of the speaker in quotation marks: (John says: All those cars are a good sign. Let s eat there. ). When we don t need or want to repeat the actual words of the speaker, we can use the Reported Speech (John said (that) all those cars were a good sign. He suggested eating there.). We use the Reported speech to report the meaning of what was said, not the exact words. We use the Reported speech in a noun clause beginning with that or a wh-word (what, where, when, etc.). In informal uses, we often omit that. IX
. Reporting what people said: - Direct speech: John says: All those cars are a good sign. Let s eat there. - -> Reported speech: John said (that) all those cars were a good sign. He suggested eating there.. Reporting wh-questions: - Direct speech: We ask: Where can we eat cheese and bacon hamburgers? - -> Reported speech: We asked where we could eat cheese and bacon hamburgers..

Reporting offers and suggestions: - Direct speech: You say: Shall we go to a fast-food restaurant? - -> Reported speech: You suggested going to a fast-food restaurant In indirect speech, we change the words that refer to the speaker's situation (I, my, this) into words that reflect the different point of view of the person reporting (she, her, that). We usually change words that refer to the place and the time of speaking to reflect the point of view of the person reporting. We also change pronouns to reflect the point of view of the person reporting. X

Modals in Reported Speech: We usually change modals: can may will could might would Note - There is no change to: could, would, should, might and ought to from direct to reported speech. We change shall to would in predictions and to should in offers or suggestions: She says: I shall do it right away!. The waiter asks: Shall I close the door? She said that she would do it right away. The waiter asked if he should close the door. We can use must or had to when we report that something was necessary: He says: You must do more!. He said we must do more! Or He said we had to do more. In reporting we use verbs such as announce, answer, explain, mention, promise, reply, say, suggest, tell, warn. The most common of these are say and tell. Tell or say? We use tell if we want to mention the hearer (the person spoken to). Eg.: She told me (that) David Tudor had ordered strawberry parfaits. When we don t mention the hearer, we use say. Eg.: She said (that) David Tudor had ordered some ginger ale. XII
