Explain that the students need to use the word provided, unchanged, within a phrase that completes the sentence in a way that it has the same meaning as the first sentence. The phrase they write must have between 2 and 5 words.
10mins - Conversation: Eating in restaurants: Do you like to eat in restaurants? What differences are there between what young people and older people like to eat? Some people say we eat too much in the modern day, do you agree? Which food from your country would you miss the most if you were abroad? What's the most delicious foreign food you have ever tried?
10mins - Revision: Direct and indirect speech: When using direct speech, we tell the message of a speaker in their own words. Ex: "I'm hungry," said Kate. When using indirect speech, we tell the message of the speaker by using our own words. Ex: Kate said she's hungry.
- The tense in reported speech is typically one tense back in time from the tense in direct speech. Ex: "I am tired," she said. 'She said she was tired.'
- The tense of the verb does not need to change if the reporting verb is in the present, or if the original statement was about something that is still true. Ex: He says he always walks to school.
- Modal verbs of probability do not change. Ex: "I might bring a friend to the party," she said. 'She said she might bring a friend to the party.'
10mins - Activity: Tell the class a story about an experience you had while eating in a restaurant. Have the students take notes while you are talking. Ask them to write one paragraph, retelling the story using direct speech. After, have them convert the paragraph into indirect speech.

1) Think about the voice - can you switch between active and passive voice?
2) Look at the words directly before and after the gap. If a past participle follows the gap, you know you'll need the auxiliary verb 'have/had' in your response.
3) Do not use fewer than two or more than five words.
4) Do not modify the key word in any way.
