6A- Reported Speech (1)

MARY: What are you going to do this evening?

JANE: I’m going to the new pub.

MARY: Where is that pub?

JANE: It is near here.

MARY: Do you like it?

JANE: I love it. I went yesterday too. …

MARY: What’s so special about it?

JANE: I’ve met a nice guy

MARY: And?

JANE: And I think I’ll go tomorrow again.




Last Friday, I talked to Jane and I asked her what she was going to do that evening.

She told me that she was going to the new pub. So I asked where that pub was and she said it was near there…

I asked her if she liked it and she told me she loved it and that she had been there the day before too!

Then I asked her what was so special about it and she said she had met a nice guy and that she thought she would go the following day again… and ....she didn’t even invite ME!

A Song by 'Iris'

It Generates :

We all dine
Then we all die.
The light shines,
Then we all try to stay away.

Like all along,
Our darker days
Are still to come.

It generates your life
It generates your low
It found a way inside
It left a gaping hole
Let us sound the alarm
Let a warning rage
'Fore it's gone
And you leave another body.

The unseen
Is closing fast.
What was clean,
Destroyed by things that never last.

Been bound for dust
Can't tell the life
That's still to come
From all it never was

It generates your life
It generates your low
It found a way inside
It left a gaping hole
Let us sound the alarm
Let a warning rage
'Fore it's gone
And you leave another bo We all dine
Then we all die.
The light shines,
Then we all try to stay away.

Like all along,
Our darker days
Are still to come.
Like all along...

The unseen
Is closing fast.
What was clean,
Destroyed by things that never last.

Been bound for dust
Can't tell the life
That's still to come
From all it never was

It generates your life
It generates your low (x3)

It found a way inside
It left a gaping hole (x3)

It generates your life
It generates your low (x3)

It found a way inside
It left a gaping hole (x3)

Let us sound the alarm
Let a warning rage
'Fore it's gone
And you leave another body.

I must admit I love this song, despite the lack of sense it apparently has...
