This unit centers on friends and friendship, exploring different types of
friendship with particular attention to that one can develop with oneself,
i.e., the comfort and support one seeks from an imaginary friend.
Students are expected to come to be truly aware of the qualities and
conducts that make a good friend, display and develop the ability to
cope with misunderstanding, conflicts and problems related to
friendship, and give advice on it. The concept that even an ordinary

直接引语变成间接引语时,要注意以下几点:人称变化、时态变化、宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
1.直接引语是陈述句,变成间接引语时,由连词that 引导。例如:
She said, "I am very happy to help you."→
She said that she was very happy to help you.
2. 直接引语是一般/选择疑问句,变成间接引语时,由连词whether或if 引导。例如:
He asked me, "Do you like playing football "→
He asked me if/whether I liked playing football.
注意:大多数情况下,if和whether 可以互换,但后有or not,或在动词不定式前,或放在介词后作连接词时,一般只用whether。例如:
She asked me whether he could do it or not.
3. 直接引语是特殊疑问句,变成间接引语时,由相应的疑问词who, whom, whose, how, when, why, where 等引导。例如:
My sister asked me, "How do you like the film "→
My sister asked me how I liked the film.
4. 直接引语是祈使句,变成间接引语时,把动词原形变成动词不定式,并在动词不定式前加tell, ask, order 等的宾语。例如:
The captain ordered, "Be quiet."→
The captain ordered us to be quiet.
注意:此种情况的否定句,在动词不定式前加not。
My teacher asked me, "Don't laugh."→
My teacher asked me not to laugh.
5. 一些注意事项
(1)间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序,即主、谓、宾的顺序。例如:
He asked Lucy, "Where did you go "→
He asked Lucy where she went.
Tom said, "What do you want, Ann "→
Tom asked Ann what she wanted.
(2)直接引语是客观事实、普遍真理等,变成间接引语时,时态不变。例如:
They told their son, "The earth goes round the sun."→
They told their son that the earth goes round the sun.
(3)直接引语变间接引语时, 指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要作相应的变化。例如:
He said, "I haven't seen her today."→
He said that he hadn't seen her that day.
注意:如果转述时就在原来的地方,就在说话的当天,就不必改变指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等。
Direct Speech Indirect Speech
Present past
Past past and past perfect
Present perfect past perfect

Suggested sentences:
Can your friend speak
What does he/she wear today
Is he/she tall or short
What do you and your friend do in your free time
Do you quarrel with each other ...
Step5 Homework
Do Exercise1 on Page 42. Here is another page of Anne’s diary. Read it through and then use indirect speech to retell the story.
