The reported speech in the 1st year english book.

Who are teaching the first year classes notices that the lecture of the reported speech in unit 03 is not exposed in a smooth method. since it is a complicated lesson(for the pp), it must be taken in an easiest way. But we see that it is so complicated to start first with reported questions, then moving to reported sentences with a present simple reported verb, next we have the reported orders and advice. Personnaly i found difficulties in transmeting it to average level pps.
The articles is also a complicated lesson since the activity given in page21 introduces exeptional cases in using the articles.
Please tell me what do u think about that. Thanks[/left
