Retell the following jokes, use indirect speech: 1. English professor: What is the difference between an active verb and a passive verb? Student: An active verb shows action and a passive verb shows passion. 2. Professor: Can you tell me anything about the great scientists of the 17th century? Student: They are all dead, sir. 3. A motorist speeding along a highway at a very high speed was stopped by a policeman. ‘Was I driving too fast?’ the motorist asked apologetically. ‘Hell, no’, replied the policeman, ‘You were flying too low’. 4. Friend: And what is your son going to be when he's passed his final exam? Father: An old man. 5. Two men were talking in a train. "Are you going to Milberry's lecture today?" said one. "Oh, yes, I am," replied the other. "Take my advice and don't. I hear he is a very poor lecturer." "I am afraid, I must go," said the other. "I'm Milberry." 6. During a lecture a well-known lecturer on economics mentioned the fact that in some parts of the world the number of men was larger than that of women, and he added humorously: "I can therefore recommend the ladies to emigrate to that part of the world." A young lady who was sitting in one of the last rows stood up full of anger. She was leaving the room rather noisily, when the lecturer remarked: "I don't mean that it must be done in such a hurry as that."
