 To be able of answering questions and enquiring. revisar los discursos
indirecto y directo
 Analyzing information given and received. (Reported Speech –
Direct speech para
confirmar y reportar
informaciones.
También revisaremos
la Voz Pasiva para
repasar el uso los
tiempos verbales.

We use Reported Speech when we want to

repeat what someone had previously said.
When we convert from direct speech to
indirect speech, the tense of the sentence
changes. See the chart below to understand
direct to indirect speech tense shift.

REPORTED SPEECHDIRECT AND INDIRECT (OR REPORTED) SPEECH.

INTRODUCTION

There are two ways of relating what a person has said: direct and indirect. In direct speech we repeat the original
speaker’s exact words:

He said, “I have lost my umbrella.”

Remarks thus repeated are placed between inverted commas, and a comma is placed immediately before the
remark. Direct speech is found in conversations in books, in plays and in quotations. In indirect speech we give
the exact meaning of a remark or a speech, without necessarily using the speaker’s exact words:

He said (that) he had lost his umbrella.

There is no comma after say in indirect speech. That can usually be omitted after say and tell + object. But it should
be kept after other verbs: complain, explain, object, point out, protest etc. Indirect speech is normally used
when conversation is reported verbally, though direct speech is sometimes here to give a more dramatic
effect. When we turn direct speech into indirect, some changes are usually necessary.
In this grammar chart you can identify how the TENSE of the verb changes from Direct speech to Indirect
Speech

 The passive voice is used when we want to
emphasize the action (the verb) and the object
of a sentence rather than subject. This means
that the subject is either less important than
the action itself or that we don’t know who or
what the subject is.

PASSIVE VOICE USE

The Passive is used:

1. When the agent (=the person who does the action) is unknown, unimportant tor obvious from the context.
Jane was shot. (We don’t know who shot her.)
This church was built in 1815. (Unimportant agent)
He has been arrested. (Obviously by the police)
2. To make more polite or formal statements.
The car hasn’t been cleaned. (More polite)
(You haven’t cleaned the car. –less polite)
3. When the action is more important than the agent, as in processes, instructions, events, reports,
headlines, new items, and advertisements.
30 people were killed in the earthquake.
4. To put emphasis on the agent.
The new library will be opened by the Queen

A VERY LONG LIFE

Timothy the tortoise was about 160 years old when he died at his home near Exeter in November 2005.
Timothy, whose early life was spent at sea, was thought to be the oldest resident in Britain at the time.
He was found by a British naval officer, Captain John Courtenay Everard, on a Portuguese ship in 1854.
Everard, who was a relative of the Earl of Devon, adopted him and he became the mascot on a
succession of British ships for nearly forty years. In 1892 he went to live at Powder ham Castle, which is
the historic home of the Earls of Devon, and in 1935 he was given a permanent home in the castle’s
rose garden.
Throughout his long life, Timothy showed a keen instinct for survival. During the Second World War, for
example, he felt the vibrations from the bombs that the Germans were dropping on Exeter and made his
own air-raid shelter under some steps. He was also very healthy, never needing to see a vet until the
last year of his life.
At the time of his death, Timothy was owned by Lady Gabrielle Courtenay, who is the aunt of the current
Earl of Devon. Lady Devon also lives at Powder ham, where Timothy was given a family funeral and was
buried in the grounds of the castle.

A) Timothy…
a. was born in the nineteen hundreds.
b. died in the twentieth century.
c. was found on board a British ship.
d. was found by a relative of the Earl of Devon.

B) When did Timothy live at Powder ham Castle?

a. Until 1892.
b. For more than 100 years.
c. From 1854 to 2005.
d. In the eighteenth century.

a. In the garden.
b. In the castle.
c. Under some steps.
d. On the terrace.

D) Timothy…
a. was ill for many years before he died.
b. belonged to the Earl of Devon’s aunt.
c. didn’t notice the bombs during the war.
d. didn’t have a funeral

Underwater research
Fourteen-year-old Miguel Diaz talks
about an exciting science project

Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico
called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying
to learn more about the fish and various creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long
way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat. The team used a piece of underwater equipment called
a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure water depth and
temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was
controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. However, the thing I enjoyed
most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightened - mainly because I couldn't see land in any
direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn't afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colorful fish
swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 meters down. I will
never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and
research projects. The team was very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the
sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will definitely
help me work harder to become a scientist.
