Indirect quotes & soft endings MCs use.
Goals

Steps
- …라고 했어요 after statement.
- 긴장했대요 hearsay casual.
- 앞으로도 열심히 하겠다고 밝혔어요—news style.
Common mistakes
- Mixing up direct quote particles—stick to 라고 for beginners at this level.
Study rhythm: Transcribe one 20-second backstage clip; underline every 고 했어요.
Hands-on: Rewrite three fan comments as neutral news sentences.
Listening: Award-show red carpet audio is repetitive—good drilling.
