The verbs говорить – to say, думать - to think, спрашивать - to ask, and отвечать – to answer allow you to speak about a third person in the interpreting exercises: She says that…, he thinks…, they are asking… etc. Below you see some lines that might come up in interpreting. Practice changing them from direct speech into indirect speech.

Образец:
What’s your name and patronymic? Он спрашивает, как ваше имя-отчество.
Меня зовут Кирилл Павлович. He says his name is Kirill Pavlovich.

What’s your last name? Он спрашивает, как ваша фамилия?
Савенко Savenko, he says.
Is that a Ukrainian last name? Он спрашивает, фамилия – украинская?
Украинская. He says it is Ukrainian
Where do you live?Он спрашивает, где вы живёте?
Здесь, в Москве. А вы американец? He says here, in Moscow. He asks, are you American?
Yes. Он отвечает, да.

And now, thanks to distracting Sorcerers (AUGH MENTALIST SEASON FINALE) I only have 20 minutes to get ready, so, here we go. At least I have new verbs?

Good Idea, Bad Idea

Let's have another Good Idea, Bad Idea

Good Idea: Wielding a box-cutter with force and determination.

Bad Idea: Wielding a box-cutter with force and determination deep into the box less than four inches from your stomach.

The end.

All right. The more I look at my writing to-do list, the more I realize I'm not going to be able to get all of it done without assigning some sort of schedule to it. So here we go.

* Every evening, when I get home - 1 scene in Astrid at the very least. This replaces German, which goes to later in the evening because I'm more capable of doing German than I am at objectively looking at my writing late in the evening

* Mon, Wed (since Criminal Minds is going off), Fri - at least one if not two segments of the Bedtime project until it is done.

* Wed 5/20 - Priestess's Alphabet, TM prompts, Warrior's Alphabet

* Thurs 5/21 - 10 Times Nameless Survived, since I'll get home late b/c of German

* Fri 5/22 - The Fix, CT/JMM prompts

* Sun 5/24 - More Alphabets

Let's see if this works.
