Reported Speech

A few days ago, Mr. Zhou asked Mrs. Zhou if she would like to go to town with him. Mrs. Zhou suggested going at about ten, after he had finished putting up those shelves. Mrs. Zhou agreed. She had some house cleaning to do, but she would come along. Mrs. Zhou suggested to go a litter later because had to finish the washing and cook lunch for Weiwen. Mr. Zhou replied that Mrs. Zhou did too much for Weiwen. Mr. Zhou asked whether Weiwen wasn’t old enough to cook for himself. Mr. Zhou said that when he had been at Weiwen’s age, he shared his family’s house works. Mrs. Zhou contradicted Mr. Zhou that it had been twenty years ago and things had changed since that time. Mr. Zhou said that it had changed for the worse because children had become spoiled and didn’t appreciate their parents. Mrs. Zhou replied that Weiwen was a sensitive boy who got easily upset and he appreciate us. Mr. Zhou agreed, but just only when they bought him toys, and he changed his decision, he would go out at eleven

Poem of Differences between Adults and Teenagers

Adults and teenagers are different

Adults love apartment but teens love tent

Teens are careless but adults are careful

Adults are serious but teens are playful

Adults work and teens play

Teens borrow adults pay

Adults have passion teens can't wait

Adults early but teens late

The difference make us different

Like grasshopper and ant

The differences make us special

It is good to be special
