Homework: write a newspaper-like report about your “first contact” skit (use reported speech)
“… and then the human asked if he could pilot our ship. I told him it would smell bad for one year, and he decided he wanted to stay on Earth.”
- You do NOT need to remember every detail exactly, just the basic description
---
p. 140 read the article in part 2 and find the six reporting verbs
Then write the exact words the people said (reported -> direct) with a partner
1 Few people asked, “Are there any health risks?”
2 Several groups suggested, “Their overuse 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 They have reminded parents, “Don’t allow your children to use cell phones.”
5 Health professionals said, “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.”

Under what circumstances would you do this activity (that) they are doing in the picture?
(this is a relative clause, like from Unit 10, but “that” is also optional in reported speech)
They said (that) we should go there.

He reported the information.
He reported the information was unexpected. (confusing without “that”, because I think the sentence is done and then I see “was”)
He reported that the information was unexpected. (this is the better option)
---
He said, “If it rains tomorrow, I will stay at home.”
He said that if it rained the next day, he would stay at home. (real conditionals follow the same rules as other verbs)
---
He said that he had seen the movie before.
He said, “I have seen the movie before.”

He said that he had seen the movie the night before.
He said, “I saw the movie last night.”
---
immediate family: my parents (father and mother) and my siblings (brothers and sisters)
extended family: people in my family but not my immediate family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins)
in-laws: my spouse’s family (mother-in-law, father-in-law, and their children)
nostalgia: remembering yesterday’s prices without remembering yesterday’s wages
---
WiFi: the (wireless) connection between your router and your computer or phone
broadband: the (fast)  connection to the rest of the Internet
---
newspaper sections
p. 140 part 5

2 politics / national news
3 financial / business
4 sports pages
5 local / news
6 opinion

---
BREAK
---
flex schedule: you might have your core class in the afternoon instead of in the morning (ask about it at the front desk)
---
realize, think/believe, wonder, know - same grammar rules as reported speech, but you are “speaking” only in your own mind

think, believe, say, tell - with statements
wonder, ask - with questions
---
TEST
---
Parts 1 and 2 - imagine these happened far away and far enough in the past that you need to change the verb tenses and pronouns
Part 3 - use infinitives for every sentence, and use each reporting verb one time
