This is a very romantic scene. For this segment, I decided to work on reported speech differently from the previous exercises. Here the students have to rewrite the indirect sentences in direct speech.
Talk to a partner: 
1. Are you a romantic person? Do you like romantic lovers? Why?
2. What kind of things does a romantic person do? Make a list of at least five different things.
3. What was the most romantic scene someone has ever done for you? Describe it.
B. Read the sentences below. They are indirect speech. Rewrite them using direct speech, supposing the guy in the movie segment is talking directly to the girl he loves.
1. He told her to say it was Carols Singers.
.............................................
2. He said he would be going out with one of those girls.
.............................................
3. He said that she was perfect to him.
.............................................
4. He said that his wasted heart would love her until she looked like that.
............................................
5. He wished her Merry Christmas.
............................................
C. Talk to a partner:
1. What is your opinion about this scene? Is it romantic or tacky?
2. Would you like your sweetheart to be more or less romantic? Why?
3. What do you consider important in a relationship? Rank the five most important things for a romance to work out.
4. Share your list with he rest of the class. Which one was the most voted?
Answer Key:
B.
1. Say it’s Carol Singers.
2. I will be going out with one of these girls.
3. You are perfect to me.
4. My wasted heart will love you until you look like this.
5. Merry Christmas!
