Question No: 26 ( Marks: 3 )

What do you understand by the term 'Summary'?
A summary is a way of expressing the main ideas of a text passage through reported speech. A
successful summary is not an exposition of the writer's own opinions, but a refining of the
important points in an original text.
Three points should be kept in mind:
(1) Summaries are shorter than original texts,
(2) They contain the main ideas of a text, and

Virtualians Social Network www.virtualians.pk Prepared by: Irfan Khan

(3) They are in reported speech.

Question No: 27 ( Marks: 5 )

Differentiate between 'Direct Speech' and 'Indirect Speech'? Give examples too.
Direct speech is quoted speech that is presented without modification, as it might have
been spoken by the original speaker. Saying exactly what someone has said is called
direct speech
For example: She said, "Today's lesson is on presentations."
“Patrick Henry said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death’.”
He said, “I was going to school every day.”
'Indirect Speech' Indirect speech (sometimes called reported speech), doesn't use
quotation marks to enclose what the person said and it doesn't have to be word for word.
When reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because when we use reported
speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past (because obviously the person who
spoke originally spoke in the past). The verbs therefore usually have to be in the past too.
For example: He said he was going to the cinema.
He said that he went to school every day.
He said that he would go to school every day.
