Indirect speech A number of applicants are interested in getting a work placement at a local teen radio station where you work part-time. You are asked to collect short recordings in which they introduce themselves and then compile the different statements in a report for your boss to read. Use indirect speech. Start like this: “The first person I met was Mandy. She said she was … .” 1. “Hello, my name’s Mandy, I’m 16, and I listen to your programme every day. I am interested in anything that’s got to do with fashion. In fact, I once won a prize in a school competition where we had to design our own T-shirts. I would like to visit fashion shows and tell the listeners more about the hottest trends.” 2. “Good morning, I’m Phil. I live in Rooke Street and I have just taken my GCSEs. One of the subjects I chose was history. I do love history a lot. Are there any programmes about history on Teen Radio? I’m sorry, I haven’t listened to your station yet. But I think I could make a smashing show about the Victorian times!” 3. “Music has been the most important thing in my life ever. I listen to music all day long, but I’m rather picky. I hate pop music, for example. Why does everyone love that commercial stuff? If I were in charge of the music at Teen Radio, I would do things differently. There would be no more pop music, but hip hop 24 hours a day – and indie, of course. Oh, I forgot to tell you my name. It’s Akon.” Language in use: An interesting job Read the text about an interesting job. Some words are missing. Choose the correct word (A–J) for each gap (1–7).
