Hi Anh,

I'm not sure I understand your question - Tasks 1 and 2 are to practise reported speech. If you're wondering if we have other pages with reported speech, we do on our Reported Speech 1, Reported Speech 2 and in one How to video.

If I've not answered your question, please let me know!

Best wishes,
Kirk

Hi Anh,

Ok, I understand now. You're right: most of what Rob explains is related to reported speech, but he also talks about other things.

Hi Alebroc,

Could you try viewing it again? I was just able to view the episode without any trouble.

Are you using the same device and/or browser that you've used to watch Word on the Street in the past? If you've changed, perhaps there's a compatibility issue.

If my ideas don't work, please let me know!

Best wishes,
