For Christmas I prayed that this blond-haired boy called Robert would like me too.,2 When I found out that my parents had invited the ministers family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried.

She was pulling the black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was filled with terrible piles of raw food: a big fish with shining eyes that begged not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil; tofu, which looked like bricks made of chalk; a bowl, soaking dried mushrooms back to life and a plate of squid, their backs cut so that they looked like bicycle tires.,4 And then they arrivedthe ministers family and all my relatives with a lot of doorbell ringing and Christmas packages of all shapes and sizes.

My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for the dishes to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Roberts face twisted in an unpleasant way. Then my father pushed in his chopsticks just below the fish eye and pulled out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear!,6 At the end of the meal my father leaned back and belched loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “Its a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests.

It was a white woolen miniskirt. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”,8 And even though I didnt agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evenings dinner.

In direct speech (also quoted speech), the original words of the person are narrated (no change is made) with quotation marks, while in indirect speech (also reported speech), some changes in the original words are made. In indirect speech the statement of a person is not enclosed in quotation marks and the word “that” may be used before the statement to show that it is indirect speech. Indirect speech is typically introduced by verbs such as say, tell, admit, complain, explain, remind, reply, think, hope, offer, refuse, etc. in the past tense and we change the following aspects accordingly: verb tenses and verb forms; pronouns; adverbs of time and place.,1 His friends told me that they would go home the following Sunday.,2 Tom asked Mary if she would watch his CDROMs that day.,3 He told his little son to go inside and not come out until the rain had stopped.,His friends said to me, “we will go home next Sunday.”,Tom asked Mary, “will you watch my CD-ROMs today?”,He said to his little son, “go inside and dont come out until the rain has stopped.”,Task 2,Change the following sentences from direct speech in
