p. 140 part 3 - Read the article about cell phones, and with a partner change the six reporting sentences to quoted speech.
1 Few people asked, “Are there any health risks?”
2 Several groups suggested, “The overuse of cellphones is dangerous and can lead to an increased risk of cancer.”
3 Several governments have told people, “Limit the time and frequency of your cell phone calls.”
4 The governments reminded parents, “Don’t allow your children to use cell phones.”
5 Health professionals said recently, “The danger to young people has become a mental, not a physical health issue.”
6 Yesterday’s report said, “Vulnerable young people are becoming addicted to the online world and unable to cope with the challenges of the real world.”

Note that “increased” and “addicted” are adjectives, and they don’t change between quoted and reported speech.
