What I Can Do

Read the following paragraph and underline all instances of reported/indirect

speech and highlight the quoted/direct speech.

Maria recently returned from a conference in Dubai and told her colleagues about her trip there.
She said that the architecture of Dubai was really fascinating, with many new buildings of glass and
steel. Of course, she also saw the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Some of her friends
went up to the top, but Maria said she didn’t because she has a fear of heights. “I don’t even like
being on a second-story balcony, so the Burj Khalifa was definitely out of the question for me!”
Maria said that there were many shopping centers in Dubai, but that they were expensive. The
weather was “unbelievably hot.” On her last night in Dubai, Maria and her friends went on a dinner
cruise on a small boat in the harbor. There was music and great food, and they could see the
lights of the city as the boat cruised
through the harbor. “It was the perfect ending to two weeks in Dubai,” she said.
