Homework: Reported Speech (present, past and future simple)
Objective: The student is able to identify the structure of the sentences when we tell
someone what another person said.

Writing Activity

Do you consider yourself an active person? Are you surrounded by active people?
Because of the rhythm life has taken nowadays, generally people do not have much time
to join a gym and have active lives, however, there are things you can do to keep in
activity and be fit.
Ask people around you what advices they can give you to be more active. Write their
responses in both direct and reported speech. You need to write 5 advices given. This
means you will have 10 sentences in all.

tense.
