REPORTED SPEECH

Last week, Lisa was interviewed for TeensOnly magazine. Put the dialogue below into reported speech:

Reporter: How old are you, Lisa?
Lisa: I’m thirteen. My birthday was last week.
Reporter: Did you have a big party?
Lisa: Yes! All my friends came to my place. We were having a great time!
Reporter: Do you often go out in the weekends?
Lisa: I’m sometimes allowed to go out on Saturdays. But my parents are a bit strict.
Reporter: What do you mean by “strict”?
Lisa: On Saturdays I must always be home before midnight. And I mustn’t go out
on weekdays. But next Friday I will go to a big party. My mother has already
allowed me to go there.
Reporter: Thank you for the interview.
