Direct and Indirect speech.
C. Presentation
The teacher will discuss the subject “Direct and Indirect Speech” using the
powerpoint presentation.
In Direct speech, what a person says appears within quotation marks and should be
word for word.
In Indirect speech, we don’t use quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it
doesn’t have to be word for word.
There are rules when changing the tense of verb when converting a direct speech into
indirect speech.
D.Application

side will be the group 1 and the other side will be the Group 2.Group 1 will read the
speech entitled “Role of Media in the Society” by Amarenda Kishore in front and the
Group 2 will serve as the audience. Later, you will exchange roles.
by Amarendra Kishore
Today television channels and newspapers are making fast money by cashing on the news in
wrong sense and wrong way. In the race to become more popular and to make money they
have broken all the limits media must follow while serving to build a healthy and progressive
society. They have no respect for the sentiments and ethics of the people and land whom they
serve to, with their immense power to influence the masses they just make judgment like a true
dictator rather than a good advice of a true friend as they previously used to do. If it will be
going in the future then we people have to think about the role of media in our life.
What is the speech all about?
What is the role of media in the society?
