Writing Prompt ~ He Said, She Said

Posted by: Tara Benwell

Writing Prompt: Write a paragraph about a married couple that just returned from their honeymoon. Use reported speech to describe your recent conversation with both of them.

Example

Katie and Scott just returned from their honeymoon. Katie said Mexico was wonderful. She said it had been very hot that week. Scott said that the honeymoon was okay. He mentioned that he had been sick the first few days. Katie thinks it was something he ate. Scott informed both of us that he would not go back to Mexico. Katie asked me if I was afraid of swimming in the ocean. I said I wasn’t. She said that I would like Mexico, and that she would go with me next time. Scott didn’t say anything. I told them that married life seemed fun.

  My best friends, Felicia and Peter, married 1 month ago. They had done their honeymoon yesterday. We have been working together for the last 10 years. Today in the office, I have had a conversation with Felicia. We have talked about Felicia’s honeymoon. She said that it was such a fun and happiest moment in her life! She said that Peter is the best husband ever. He always tried to give affection to Felicia during the trip. Such a perfect couple!

  I and Lucy is colleagues in the same company. She has just returned from her honeymoon with John who is her husband. We had a very interesting conversation as talking about the memories she has experienced in their honeymoon. She said John was a romantic and thoughtful husband. At every morning, he got up early so as to himself prepare breakfast. She felt really surprised and so happy when she saw his image so. He held her hand walking on the beach at the sunset. She said she firmly believed in loving John was intended for her.
  A story.
