下面一組練習的內容是說彼得問母親凱特怎么樣才能夠像父親亨利一樣作個 救火員. 彼得提出了許多問題. 凱特都一一回答, 比方凱特告訴彼得作救火員 必須小心, 鎮靜, 必須隨時準備救火, 一有必要就得上夜班等等. 練習的作法是 你會先聽到一個疑問詞開頭的疑問句, 比方彼得問: How can one be a fire fighter? 聽了之后請你把話引述一遍,所以答案就是: Peter asked how one could be a fire fighter. 如果你聽到的不是問句, 而是陳述句, 比方凱特回答: "他們需 要小心, 鎮靜." One needs to be careful and calm. 在引述的時候你就必須這么
說: Kate answered that one needed to be careful and calm. 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句, 就請你聽老師念正確答案.

下面彼得問凱特作救火員危險不危險, 他們怎么救火; 怎么樣幫助受傷的人等 等問題; 凱特回答說救火員的工作有時候相當危險, 他們必須有救火設施, 必 須給予受傷的人急救等等. 還是請你跟剛才一樣作練習

剛才我們引述的句子本身都是現在時態. 所以在引述的時候必須把動詞或助 動詞改為過去時態. 如果你要引述的句子是現在完成時態或是過去時態, 那 么在引述的時候就應該用had, h-a-d,had加上動詞的過去分詞或是用 had been 加上動詞的過去分詞把時態改為過去完成時態. 比方凱特問亨利: "發生了什 么事?" What happened? 在引述這句話的時候就應該這么說:Kate asked what had happened. 再舉一個例子, 比方凱特問亨利: "有多少人受傷情況嚴重?" How many people were in critical condition? 引述那句話的時候就應該這么
說: Kate asked how many people had been in critical condition. 下面我們作一 組練習,學學這種說法.練習的內容是說亨利救火之后回到家里, 凱特問他有 關火災的種種情況,比方受傷的人被送進哪家醫院,多少樓房被燒壞或是全部 燒毀, 火災多久才被撲滅等等. 這些問題亨利都一一答覆. 練習的作法跟剛才 一樣,還是每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.
