Activity 23
• Ask students to identify the
reporting verb in each sentence
and check if they know what
they mean.
• Encourage students to role-play
the sentences and remind them
to have fun.
• Elicit other ways of saying the
sentences and have them use
as many reporting verbs as they
can think of.
• Start a conversation to discuss
how each version changes
depending on the reporting
verb and to choose the best one
in each case. Their arguments
may vary, but they should all
be able to identify that most
cases sound silly because of the
reporting verb.

• Allow some time for students to
check the reporting verbs in the
parts where they use direct or
indirect speech.

• Encourage them to use some
synonyms, so they do not
sound repetitive.
Activity 24

• Go through the example with
students and ask them to identify the added details in italics.

• Elicit what these add to the oral testimony and why they are relevant at this point.
• Encourage students to think about extra details to provide some more information in their oral testimony.
Some examples might be the time of the day, what they were listening to when the unexpected situation
happened, among others.

• Remind students to go back to the REMEMBER about types of details in Activity 18 if they can’t come up
with anything.
