Reported Speech
What Excuse did they give to him?
Ð Reporting
Questions (Indirect Questions)
² When we report questions we can use
the reporting verbs: ask, want to know, wonder
and inquire.
² In reported questions we use the same
word order as in a statement: Subject + Verb:
Ex.: Teacher: “How are you?”
The teacher asked Sam how he was.
² Yes / No questions (beginning with a verb) are
reported with if or whether.
Ex.: Teacher: “Do you have a dream job, Sam?”
The teacher asked Sam if / whether he had a dream job.
² Wh-questions are reported with the same question
word used in the direct question.
Ex.: Teacher: “Which one do you prefer, Suzy?”
The teacher asked Suzy which one
she preferred.
Ð Reported
Imperatives (Indirect Imperatives)
² Imperative clauses change into infinitive clauses preceded
by a verb such as tell, command, order,
warn,
recommend,
advise.
Ex.: Teacher: “Be careful.”
The teacher recommended his students
to be careful.
² Negative imperatives (Don’t…) - “not” goes before
the infinitive.
Ex.: Teacher: “Don’t make silly mistakes
in the exam.”
The teacher advised his students not to
make silly mistakes in the exam.
Ð Exclamations
² Exclamations
become statements in
the reported speech.
Ex.: Jane: “What a wonderful job!”
Jane said that it was a wonderful job.

Stress
Reading Activity in Groups of 3 or 4

Being stuck in one queue or traffic jam too many could spark more than simply a foul mood – it can lead to severe mental disorder, a study claims. Everyday irritations such as waiting in traffic can build up over time and cause mental problems later in life, psychologists found.
And learning to
keep a cool head in the face of modern life’s daily stresses is as essential as
a healthy diet and an exercise routine, they said. Susan Charles, a professor
of psychology and social behaviour, led the study to find out whether everyday
irritations add up to make the straw that breaks the camel’s back, or whether
they make us stronger. Using data from two national surveys, researchers found
negative responses to daily stresses such as arguments with a partner, conflicts
at work, standing in long queues or sitting in traffic led to psychological
distress or anxiety and mood disorders ten years later
The results, based
on data from the Midlife Development in the United States project and the
National Study of Daily Experiences, from men and women aged 25 and 74, show
mental health problems are not affected by just major life events, but also by
seemingly minor emotional experiences.
The findings echo
the premise of the 1993 Michael Douglas film Falling Down, in which his character
‘snaps’ while waiting in LA traffic.
Speaking of the
findings, published in the journal Psychological Science, Professor Charles
said: ‘How we manage daily emotions matters to our overall mental health. ‘We’re
so focused on long-term goals that we don’t see the importance of regulating
our emotions.
‘Changing how you
respond to stress and how you think about stressful situations is as important
as maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine.
‘It’s important
not to let everyday problems ruin your moments. After all, moments add up to
days, and days add up to years.’
Professor Charles,
of the University of California, added: ‘Unfortunately, people don’t see mental
health problems as such until they become so severe that they require
professional attention.”
■ Middle managers
are under the most stress in the workplace, a study claims. This is because
they face more challenges from above while having to maintain authority
over lower-ranking workers. In the study, experts at the universities of
Manchester and Liverpool monitored stress hormones in monkeys. Among the
findings, which they said could be applied to human hierarchies, was that
monkeys in the middle order had the highest levels of stress hormones. They are
involved with conflict from those below as well as from above. Katie Edwards,
from Liverpool’s Institute of Integrative Biology, said: ‘People in middle
management might have higher levels of stress hormones compared to their boss
at the top or the workers they manage.’
