Unit 5 - Technology

123 Unit 5: Technology ENG103_Bai 5_v1.0010112202 UNIT OBJECTIVES TECHNOLOGY After this unit, students will be able to: • Introduce direct and indirect speech. • Use vocabulary relating to topic (technology, electrical equipment, computers and Internet, on the phone). • Study the stress patterns in compound nouns. • Develop listening, reading and speaking skills via practical exercises relating to this topic.

(direct speech) → She said she was happy. Changes in the process of transferring from direct to reported speech • The verb forms change. • We also change personal pronouns, possessive pronouns. ENG103_Bai 5_v1.0010112202 A. A British newspaper recently carried out a survey to find out which inventions its readers thought were the most important. Their top four choices are listed below but they are NOT in the correct order. Match each invention to a section of the pie chart to show the result of the survey. B. Make true sentences from the chart. Nikon camera Champagne Ferrari cars Whisky IKEA furniture is are made in Scotland Sweden France Italy Japan DIRECT SPEECH REPORTED SPEECH Simple present Example: “I get up early”, he said. Simple past Example: He said he got up early. Present continuous Example: “I’m staying with my cousin”, she said. Past continuous Example: She said she was staying with her cousin. 125 Unit 5: Technology • There are also other changes (pronoun, time, place words) that take place when we use reported speech. Example: “I will meet you here at the same time tomorrow”, said Lauren. → Lauren told me she would meet me there at the same time the next day. Notes • Say and Tell are the reporting verbs that we use most often with reported speech. We use the verb “tell” with an indirect object Example: My friend told me that his boss was going to give him a raise. ENG103_Bai 5_v1.0010112202 DIRECT SPEECH REPORTED SPEECH Simple past Example: “I broke the window”, said Alan. Past perfect Example: Alan said he had broken the window.

Example: He said he had lots of new ideas. • We can use the word “that” after the reporting verb. Example: He said he won two tournaments. He said that he had won two tournaments. • Reported speech with questions - In reported speech, questions are introduced by the verb ask. Example: He asked where I had been. - We use the same question word that is in the direct question. Example: “What does she do in her free time?”, he asked. → He asked what she did in her free time. - When a direct question does not begin with a question word, we make the reported question with the word if or whether. - The verb form changes, and the word order changes from question to statement form. - The changes in time and place also apply to reported questions. + WH-QUESTIONS ENG103_Bai 5_v1.0010112202 DIRECT SPEECH REPORTED SPEECH Simple present Example: “What do you want?”, he asked.

Reported requests are usually introduced with the verb ask + indirect object + in- finitive. Example: “Please wait outside the office”, she said. → She asked us to wait outside the office. If the command is negative, we put the word not before to. Example: “Don’t forget to lock the front door”, he said. → He told me not to forget to lock the front door. If the request is negative, we put the word not before to. Example: “Please don’t write in pencil”, he said. → He asked them not to write in pencil. 128 Unit 5: Technology PRACTICE Choose the best way to complete the sentences below. 1.
