BLOCKBUSTERS!

Dear students, After the long, long days of analysing reported Speech, it's time for a little practice. Here I have posted some movie clips from some of my favourite films, which we are going to use to practise reported speech. Here's the task for you:

1.- Read the introduction to each clip, so you understand the situation in case you haven't seen the film.

2.- Watch the clip trying to understand what happens in the scene. Make notes if necessary. Don't worry if you don't understand everything in the scene.

3.- Turn what characters say into reported speech. You may not understand every single word, but remember that in reported speech we don't need to quote what people say, you have to report the same message, not the same words.


Here is the first clip.The two men in bloody clothes are Vincent Vega and Jules Winfield, two gangsters. They are in Jimmy's house because they have a problem. Earlier, they were driving another man in the backseat of their car when Vincent accidentally shot him in the head and killed him. The car is full of blood and chunks of brain and skull, not to speak of the corpse without a head. They decided to go to Jimmy's house before the police stopped them. But Jimmy's wife, Bonnie, doesn't know that her husband has relations with gangsters, and she will come back home in 40 minutes, so they call a man whose job is "to solve problems": The Wolf. In this scene, the Wolf is giving them instructions in order to get the car out of the house before Bonnie arrives without calling the attention of the police.

In this second clip, There are three characters, but only two speak. Flynn Rider, a highwayman and robber who is running away from two other thiefs he has tricked, has entered the tower where Rapunzel lives as a prisioner of her mother (she is not her real mother, but she stole her when she was a baby because her magic hair keeps her young). Rapunzel hit Flynn in the head, tied him to a chair and hid his satchel, where he has a jewel he has stolen. She is very curious about the lanterns that once a year fill the sky, so she wants to go and see them and find out what they are. But she has never got out of the tower, so she wants Flynn to be her guide.

In the third clip, William Thacker, a bookshop owner, runs into Anna Scott, who is a Hollywood star, but William doesn't know.
