Identifying Quoted and Reported Speech 
 
Reported speech is underlined; quoted is highlighted. 
 
Maria recently returned from a conference in Dubai and told her colleagues about her trip there. 
She said that the architecture of Dubai was really fascinating, with many new buildings of glass 
and steel. Of course, she also saw the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Some of her 
friends went up to the top, but Maria said she didn’t because she has a fear of heights. “I don’t 
even like being on a second-story balcony, so the Burj Khalifa was definitely out of the question 
for me!” Maria said that there were many shopping centers in Dubai, but that they were 
expensive. The weather was “unbelievably hot.” On her last night in Dubai, Maria and her friends 
went on a dinner cruise on a small boat in the harbor. There was music and great food, and they 
could see the lights of the city as the boat cruised through the harbor. “It was the perfect ending to 
two weeks in Dubai,” she said.
