Step1 Lead in

T: In the last lesson, we learned Anne Frank's story. She is telling her stories to two of her friends-you and Tom. Tom has something wrong with his ears, so you have to repeat Anne's sentences, using indirect speech. Sometimes you explain Tom's sentences to Anne.

"I have to stay in the hiding place." said Anne. →

Anne said she had to stay in the hiding place.

"Do you feel sad when you are not able to go outdoors?" Tom asked Anne. →

Tom asked Anne if/whether she felt sad when she was not able to go outdoors.

"I don't want to set down a series of facts in a diary," said Anne.→

Anne said that she didn't want to set down a series of facts in a diary.

"What do you call your diary?" Tom asked. →

Tom asked what she called her diary.

Ss go on this topic by themselves.
