I'm sure you can find it in the Moralzarzal bookshops or online, and also you can ask students in 3rd year to share their copy with my students.  There are a few copies in the school library, but not enough for everyone.

Best wishes,

A STORY ABOUT A PARTY WEARING A DISGUISE

Halloween party
Teenagers usually go out every October the 31st, especially there are parties
with their friends in a disco or a friends’ house. Another extendend tradition is
to wear a disguise or a terrorific make up; so we did both last thursday!


Last halloween, we were partying on a disco in Madrid, so me and friend
decided to disguise ourselves of mommies. For making up our costumes
we bought bandages, and we rolled them up around our body and
painted them with lipstick as it was blood. 


After making our stunning customs we took the train to the disco
with all our friends and we had fun all night long till 5 a.m. We were so tired,
so we decided calling an Uber for going to Moncloa and there, taking a bus
back
to Moralzarzal. 

It was a great and different night to share with our colleagues, because
it was the first time we went to a party on Madrid, so we will always remember it!

REPORTED SPEECH. BASICS


REPORTED SPEECH

When we reproduce the words of a person to a third person we are reporting. This produces a change in the structure of language used.

1. STATEMENTS
Introduced mainly by  the verbs say to or tell someone but also many others: commented, claimed, stated, affirmed……
If the reporting verb is in the present ther are no changes. He says he is arriving at 10.
But generaly there is a change in the reporting verb and then everything changes
Verbs changes: back shift .  Anything in present changes to past. Past to part perfect, some pasts don’t change.

Will______-would
Can______-could
May_______ might

Introduced by that but not needed. He said (that) he would call you.
2. questions
Usually introduced by ask
2.1 total questions introduced by if/whether
2.2. partial questions introduced by the question Words: why, what, how, how many.where when…..


3. commands, orders,
Introduced by to or not to. He ordered to take down the paper.

4. Other structures
Attention to some verbs that work in a diferente way. You
