→Step 2 Lead-in
Tell the class:In the last lesson, we learned Anne Frank’s story. She is telling her stories to two of her friends—you and Mary. Mary has something wrong with her ears, so you have to repeat Anne’s sentences, using Indirect speech. Sometimes you explain Mary’s sentences to Anne.
“I have to stay in the hiding place. ”said Anne.
→ Anne said she had to stay in the hiding place.
“Do you feel sad when you are not able to go outdoors? ” Mary asked Anne.
→ Mary asked Anne if/whether she felt sad when she was not able to go outdoors.
“I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary, ” said Anne.
→ Anne said that she didn’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary.
“What do you call your diary? ” Mary asked.
→ Mary asked what she called her diary.
. . .
Get the students to go on this topic by themselves.
→Step 3 Grammar
1. Tell the class:Now let’s look at these sentences again. If we want to change Direct Speech into Indirect Speech, what should be changed?
2. Get the students discuss by themselves.
Perhaps most students can find sentence structures, tenses, pronouns, adverbials of time and place and verbs should be changed.
3. Show the students the form on the screen. These are the rules.
当我们引用别人的话时，如果我们引用别人的原话，被引用的部分就叫直接引语，一般用“”引起来。如果我们用自己的话把意思转述出来，被转述的部分称为间接引语，间接引语在多数情况下都构成一个宾语从句。
直接引语变成间接引语时，要注意以下几点：人称变化、时态变化、宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
1）直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，由连词that 引导。
Mary said, “I am very happy to help you. ”
→Mary said that she was very happy to help you.
2）直接引语是一般疑问句或选择疑问句，变成间接引语时，由连词whether或if引导。
He asked me, “Do you like playing basketball? ”
→He asked me if/whether I liked playing basketball.
注意：大多数情况下，if和whether都可以用，但后面和or not连用时或在动词不定式前或放在介词后作连接词时，一般只用whether。
She asked me whether I could do it or not.
3）直接引语是特殊疑问句，变成间接引语时，由原句的疑问词who, whom, whose, how, when, why, where 等引导。
My sister asked me, “What do you think of the film? ”
→My sister asked me what I thought of the film.

4）注意事项
（1)间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序，即主、谓、宾的顺序。
He asked Lucy, “Where have you been? ”
→He asked Lucy where she had been.
Mary said, “What do you want, Ann? ”
→Mary asked Ann what she wanted.
（2)直接引语是客观事实、真理、规律等，变成间接引语时，时态不变。
The teacher told his students, “The earth goes round the sun. ”
→The teacher told his students that the earth goes round the sun.
（3)直接引语变间接引语时，指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要作相应的变化。
He said, “I haven’t seen my daughter today. ”
→He said that he hadn’t seen his daughter that day.
注意：如果转述时就在原来的地方，就在说话的当天，就没必要改变指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等。

Option:如果学生基础较好，语法部分也可用英语讲解。
1. Direct Speech
In direct speech, the original speaker’s exact words are given and are indicated by quotation marks.
“I don’t know what to do, ” said Tom.
In some grammar books, “said Tom” is referred to as a reporting clause. “I don’t know what to do, ” is referred to as the reported clause.
2. Indirect Speech
In indirect speech, the exact meaning of the speaker’s words is given, but the exact words are not directly quoted.
Tom said that he didn’t know what to do.
To convert direct speech into indirect speech:
If the main verb is past tense, present tense verbs in “that clause” must also be changed to past tense.

天添资源网 http://www.ttzyw.com/
Tom said that he didn’t know what to do.
First and second person pronouns must be changed to third person pronouns.
Tom said that he didn’t know what to do.
(The word “that” can often be left out:Tom said he didn’t know what to do. )
3. Indirect Questions
The same rules apply to indirect questions as to indirect statements. The difference is that a wh-clause is used instead of a that clause.
Direct question:“Did Dick’s horse win a prize? ” Owen asked.
Indirect questions:Owen asked whether/if Dick’s horse had won a prize.
Direct question:“Why won’t you marry me? ” asked Donald.
Indirect question:Donald asked her why she wouldn’t marry him.
﹡In telling a story or recounting events, a speaker using direct speech has all the resources of intonation to produce a lively account. Because indirect speech is always reported by someone else, the account is more reserved and restrained.
“What shall we do? ” asked Mary.
“Don’t worry, Mary, ” said Dick, “I’ve got a plan. ”
Mary asked Dick what they should do. He told her not to worry and that he had got a plan.
﹡The ability to change direct speech into indirect speech is a useful skill for those engaged in taking the minutes of a meeting or reporting on events.
Direct speech:“First of all, I would like to thank everybody who helped with the fair. The results were very good, and we will now be able to buy two more computers. ”
Indirect speech:The principal said that he would like to thank everybody who had helped with the fair. He announced that the results were very good and that the school would now be able to buy two more computers.
→Step 4 Practice (Discovering useful structures)
Get the students to turn to Page 5. Please change the following direct speech into indirect speech and indirect into direct.
1. “I’m going to hide from the Germans, ” Anne said.
2. “I don’t know the address of my new home, ” said Anne.
3. “I cannot ask my father because it is not safe to know, ” she said.
4. “I had to pack up my things very quickly, ” the girl said.
5. “Why did you choose your diary and old letters? ” Dad asked her.
6. Mum asked her if/whether she was very hot with so many clothes on.
7. Margot asked her what else she had got.
8. Anne asked her father when they would go back home.
9. Anne asked her sister how she could see her friends.
10. Mother asked Anne why she had gone to bed so late the night before.
→Step 5 Correcting mistakes
Analyze the common mistakes students have made during the practice. Let the students look at the screen and pay attention to these sentences. Then choose the right sentence and make it clear why the other one is wrong.
→Step 6 A game
Play a guessing game “who is my secret friend? ” One student comes to the front with his partner. The rest students ask him questions while his partner changes them into indirect speech. In the end, the person who has guessed the right answer can come to the front to take the place of the first student. So the game goes on.
Suggested sentences:
Can your friend speak?
What does he/she wear today?

Is he/she tall or short?
What do you and your friend do in your free time?
Do you quarrel with each other?
. . .
→Step 7 Workbook
Do Exercise 1 in Using Structures on Page 42. Here is another page of Anne’s diary. Read it through and then use indirect speech to retell the story.
If time doesn’t permit, declare it as homework.
Suggested answers:
Anne said that they went quickly upstairs and into the hiding place when they arrived at Prinsengracht. She said that they closed the door behind them and they were alone. She said (that)Margot had come faster on her bicycle and was already waiting for them. She said (that)all the rooms were full of boxes and they lay on the floor and the beds. She said (that)the little room was filled with bedclothes and they had to start clearing up at once, if they wished to sleep in comfortable beds that night. Anne said (that)her mother and Margot were not able to help. She said (that)they were tired and lay down on their beds, but her daddy and she, the two “Helpers” of the family, started at once.
Anne said (that)they unpacked the boxes, filled the cupboards and tidied the whole day, until they were extremely tired. She said they did sleep in clean beds that night. She said they hadn’t had any warm food to eat all day, but they didn’t care. Anne said (that)her mother and Margot were too tired and worried to eat, and her daddy and she were too busy.
