Homework Make some sentences with language points

Post-teaching Why suggest Ss’ reciting the last two paras at the end of text?
Because Ss can understand the importance of friendship and friends after learning the text. Here are two valuable sentences from the text to show you---Chuck understands that friendship is about feelings and that we must give as much as we take. Friendship helps us understand who we are, why we need each other and what we can do for each other.

teaching It looks as if the grammar were somewhat easy but on the contrary, it is rather more difficult to make myself understood than I have expected. You’ll not cope with it well without any well-designed feedback exercises.

Step 1
Step 2 Give brief explanation of Direct Speech and In direct Speech.
1. You use Direct Speech when you want to show the exact words someone said or wrote.
2. The reporting clause may come before, within, or after the direct speech.
3. Use a comma to connect the direct speech and the reporting clause.
4. When you change a sentence from direct speech to Indirect speech, you sometimes need to change the verb tense.
5. When you use Indirect speech to report what someone said, you can sometimes change the exact words without changing what the speak actually said.
Instruction to direct Speech and indirect Speech
Ss have to imagine that they are helping Chuck “hear” what Wilson “says.” The Ss use Chuck’s answers to guess what Wilson is asking and then write down the question as reported speech.
