Read
Read into something
If you ‘read into something’ then you find extra meaning in someone’s words or actions that is not obvious or does not exist.
‘I think you are reading too much into the argument, it really wasn’t such a big deal.’
Read up
If you ‘read up’ on something then you study or learn about it.
‘Read up on all the cafes in Sydney before you go so you can choose the best one.’

If someone describes you as ‘well read’ then they are complimenting you on your general level of intelligence and wide ranging knowledge.
‘I hope he is on our quiz team, he is very well read individual.’

Reported speech
We use reported speech to tell someone what someone else has said. It is like relaying a message, or passing on information.
When we use reported speech, we usually use the past simple and we use reporting verbs, ‘tell’, ‘say’ and ‘ask’.
When someone speaks directly to us, it is called, ‘direct speech. When we tell someone else what that person said, it is called ‘indirect speech.
Direct speech: I love swimming at the beach.
Indirect speech: She said she loves swimming at the beach.
We change the pronoun from ‘I’ to ‘she’ and the verb, from ‘love’ to ‘loves’. We change the verb tense depending on the situation, in the above example it is the present simple.
Change the following examples to reported speech using the past simple:
Direct speech: I like fishing
Indirect speech:
Direct speech: I eat soup on cold days but prefer to eat cool things on hot days.
Indirect speech:

Telephone language
We can use the phrase ‘phone someone back’ to describe the action of returning someone’s call.
‘Please phone Simon back, he called while you were at lunch.’
‘A bad line’ refers to a phone connection that is affected by poor quality or background noise. Often when we have a ‘bad line’ we hang up and call back.
‘I can’t hear you at all, I think we have a bad line.’
‘I thought she said to come at six, but the line was bad and I misunderstood.’
‘Disconnected’ means that a call was unintentionally ended due to a technical fault.
‘I am sorry about having to call you back , we were disconnected. Please continue.’
Make some example sentences using:
1. Phone back
2. A bad line
3. Disconnected
