First a website that can help with further questions, http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/reported-speech Some revisions; Mr Rozenberg explained that a nickel battery has the advantages of light weight and long life. < In this phrase there is no direct need for a backshift (that means, transferring the tenses) So saying that Mr Rozenberg explains and that a nickel battery has the advantages is correct. He also said>This can be replaced with the word Moreover or Additionally) In this phrase you can use the word are perfectly. Mr Moses agreed that there (were) new products but he explained that people in Africa could not afford the new products. It'd be easier if you leave it in the present tense, since using backshift has two letdowns, 1. It shows no change in pace, it remains a recount/recollection and it'll become dull and boring if one must read an entire paragraph of such accounts. 2. There is a distinct difference between the written and spoken english, but when someone is reporting something it is normally done in the 1st timeslot (as in, I am we are) instead of ( I did we have done etc) unless it required. So, between the brackets you should fill, Are. One last thing, This sounds better; Mr Moses agreed that there are newer products but he explained that people in Africa could not afford the newer products. Sorry for getting thorough on you, but good luck, and i hope I helped.

Klopt deze alinea overigens ook?
Mr Walch replied that they had to produce new products on the same market but that they also had to be very careful because the production facilities could not easily be adapted to making other sort of batteries. Mr Rozenberg said that they had to concentrate on different markets with new products. |

One small question which should be raised is, is Mr Walch replying to a question or is he replying to something asked by the reporter. (I'm being picky, i know, but it serves to further your studies) If it is a reporter asking, then you must mention that, or mention in the text that 'Mr Walch told our reporter'. Also remember that reporting isn't always about he said or she said, its about giving out information. The last phrase can be said like this, "Mr Rozenberg adds that there should be concentration on different markets with newer products." If you need more of this, or any help on english, let me know.

Well this is the beginning of the meeting and Mr Walch replied on that by giving his opinion:
Mr Groen opened the meeting at 16: 45. He introduced the participants and informed them about the situation. He said that they had to expand their business to increase the turnover. He explained that they could not easily increase sales in either of their markets with the current products and said that they possibly had to produce new products for new and different markets. He then invited the participants to give their opinion about the decision. Thanks in advance! |
