    Thank you Mrs Diaz

    1. Direct speech is the same of words that someone said, for example on a newspaper if it said “Be aware there’s going to be a war in France” and someone said that on something else like their work, and write “Be aware there’s going to be a war in France”.
    Reported speech is when for example a girl: “I’m going to play” that’s direct speech, but reported speech is like: She went to go play. OR The girl went to play.

    2.A headline’s features would have to be big, like the title in a newspaper report would have to be big. A headlines features are:
    Byline
    Headline
    Subheadings
    Pictures
    Captions
    Paragraphs
    3. My favourite fact about UFOs is that it went on top of the buildings of our school and it was just flying there doing nothing. Another thing that is my favourite is that when the UFOs get found newspapers would usually get made about them, because they are very rare, and then the governments/other important people who take from the continent or country would take care and document about all of the newspaper about the UFO.

    1 The difference between a direct speech and a reported speech is a direct speech is the exact speech of what has been said however on the other hand reported speech is a summary and not exact of what is said.

    2. Some features of a headline is it has to be attractive, short and the fonts has to be massive.
    3. My favorite fact about UFOs is that many governments have reported or documented about UFOs.

    1. Miss Akhtar

      Has the UK government ever reported about them too?

      1. Minhaj A.

        The UK government has responded to the UFO sighting.
