Reported Speech
Jean said she didn't like K-pop because it was boring.
I am not a huge fan of K-pop. I think it is not very interesting and the songs are kind of long and repetitive.
Paraphrase
I don't really like traveling on a plane because it is crowded, and loud and I have a hard time falling asleep and there is nothing to do.
I am a huge fan of chocolate cookies. They are delicious, soft, chewy and sweet. I could eat chocolate chips cookies all day!
Paraphrase
You'll never believe what I saw!

That trip was just terrible.

A Trip to Chicago
“So, tell me about this Willis Tower. Your brother said that you had taken an express elevator to the top” “We did. We went to the observation deck and looked out at the lake and the city.” “What did you see?” “Well, the whole city is built on a grid, so all of the streets make perfect squares. It’s really cool to
look at the layout of the city and watch thousands of cars driving in perfectly straight lines.” “That must make it easy to get around? Or did you get lost?” “No, it was really easy to get around. All of the streets have numbers and it works just like one of those (x,y) axis grids from math class.”

“After we went to the top of the WIllis Tower, we went down to the most famous hotdog place and had a traditional hotdog.” “Your brother told me that in Chicago people don’t allow you to put ketchup on your hotdog.”
“Absolutely not. Chicago does not want you to put ketchup anywhere.” “Weird. I feel like if you want ketchup, you should be able to eat ketchup.” “Yeah, I agree. Plus, there was nothing really special about the hotdog. It was just a normal hotdog with mustard and onions and relish. It just ended up tasting like pickles.”
relish
“Your brother said that there was a big park right in the middle of the city. Did you see that?” “Yeah, we went to this huge park that was really close to our hotel and next to the lake. There was a free blues concert going
on, so we just sat with everyone in the grass and listened to music for a few hours. It was really cool sitting there, with the lake behind us and all the stunning buildings in front of us. Then we were close enough to walk home in the sunset. It was kind of magical. The next day after our mobster tour, we went to a blues club and heard some more music.”
stunning
“The next afternoon, we had to head home. Luckily, we were so exhausted that we fell asleep almost as soon as the plane took off. Then we got back here, unpacked and went right back to the grind.”
“Yeah, your brother said you had needed to go right back to work the same day that you landed. You must have been exhausted.” “I was, but it was worth it.” “Wow, that sounds like a really great trip. I wish I could go to Chicago.” “If you are serious, we could plan another trip. I would love to go back. There was so much that I didn’t see. The history and culture of the place is really exciting.”
