To stick your neck out 不顾一切,担风险
I admire our congressman- he’s one politician who’s not afraid to stick his neck out and say what he really thinks,even if it costs him some votes.
Conclusion
Commands:
Do… Do not do… Requests: Do…please. Can you …? Could you…? Will you…? Would you…?
If we want to change commands and requests into indirect speech,we should do like this: Commands: sb. told /orded sb. (not) to do sth.
Requests: sb. asked sb. (not) to do sth.
Practice:
Change these sentences into Indirect Speech 1. He said to me, “ Don’t smoke in this room.” 2. He said to me, “ Please don’t smoke in this room.” 3. He said to me, “ Could you please help me with my work?”
