Suggestions:
Reported speech
In direct speech, we give the exact words somebody said, and we use quotation marks.
In reported speech, we give the meaning of what someone said, but with some changes and without quotation marks.
Example:
Nam: ‘I want to become a robot designer.’
→Nam said that he wanted to become a robot designer.
When the reporting verb (e.g. say or tell) is in the past, the verb in reported speech changes as follows:


Pronouns, and time and place expressions may change in reported speech:
I → he/ she
we → they
you → I/ he/ she
now → then
today → that day
here → there
this week → that week
tomorrow → the following day/ the next day
yesterday → the day before/ the previous day
last month → the month before/ the previous month
Example:
‘I don’t have football today.’
→ He said (that) he didn’t have football that day.
3. Look at the conversation in GETTING STARTED again. Find and underline the examples of reported speech.


Duong, Nick, and Chau are talking with Dr. Nelson after listening to his talk about the roles of science and technology in the 21st century.
Dr.N: Well, as you know, developments in science and technology are greatly changing the way we live, communicate, travel, everything …
D: You mean science and technology are changing our lives in every field?
Dr.N: Right.
D: For the better?
Dr.N: Mostly for the better. Science and technology also have enormous effects on economic development.
N: Well, my dad told me that only robots would work in factories and clean our homes in the future. Is it right, Dr. Nelson?
Dr.N: Sure. And we’ll have flying cars and spaceships so that we can travel faster and further than before.
C: So we won’t have traffic jams any more?
Dr.N: No, we won’t. Science and technology are the keys to development in other fields too. They will certainly bring a lot more benefits to people.
C: And what about education? Our science teacher said that there would be no more schools: we’d just stay at home and learn on the Internet.
Dr.N: That’s right. Students won’t go to school like now …
D: Wow! I hope that happens soon.
