30 Dangerous Jobs----------

Objectives

■ To talk about photos.

■ To practise using the vocabulary of jobs. «To practice raakwq reported statements.

Grammar

This lesson deals with reported statements. We present the bask tense changes as well as the changes that certain time and place expressions undergo (such as here, now, last year, last month, yesterday, today, next year). We do not deal here with the issue of when we do and when we don't use backshift. However, teachers may warn students that we don't use backshift when what we report is still valid, i.e. the context/situation hasn't changed or when we believe in what we report, e.g. He claimed his job is as creative as an artist's means we believe in what we report; if our report is He claimed his job was..., we signal that we don't necessarily share this opinion.

Politeness is important when asking the interviewer to repeat or explain something. Students need to identify any differences in their own country.

The quote is by Katherine Whitehorn, a popular British journalist and writer in the 1970s/80s.
