Lesson 1.2 (Reported Speech) SVIP

Choose the sentences that have the structure “S + said …”.

Hey Jane,

My family gave me some great suggestions for the trip to Paris you and I are taking next year, and I wanted to tell you about them. My dad suggested we travel in October or April. He said it was less crowded at those times. I think April will be the nicest because it will be sunny and warm. He also said we should visit the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. I thought that sounded pretty boring, so I asked my mom.

She suggested we visit Disneyland Paris. I think that sounds really fun. I love roller coasters. She also told me about some great places to eat such as Le Petit Paris Restaurant. It's expensive, but I heard it's amazing. She also suggested we go to a bakery and try some pastries. She said they were really tasty.

Finally, my brother gave me some really useful advice. He suggested we take a socket adapter. They have different sockets in France. He also suggested we take a fanny pack to keep our things safe. I think it might be a good idea to take both.

What do you think? Did you find out anything interesting?

Speak to you soon,

Sabrina
