2. Grammar: Reported Speech
When we report what someone else said without using their exact words, we use Reported Speech (or Indirect Speech). At the B2 level, you must master the shifts in tense, pronouns, and time/place expressions.
| Sentence Type | Direct Speech (Exact Words) | Reported Speech (Shifted) |
|---|---|---|
| Statements Tense shifts back one step |
Sreymom said, "I am selling more crabs today." | Sreymom said (that) she was selling more crabs that day. |
| Wh- Questions Word order becomes affirmative |
The tourist asked, "How much is this?" | The tourist asked how much that was. |
| Yes/No Questions Use if or whether |
Kimsan asked, "Do you want Kampot pepper?" | Kimsan asked if they wanted Kampot pepper. |
| Commands/Requests Use to + infinitive |
Sreymom told him, "Put the basket here." | Sreymom told him to put the basket there. |

3. Reading: Context in Kep
As Kimsan sets the baskets down, he observes the bustling marketplace. He is always fascinated by the interpersonal dynamics between the vendors and the foreign tourists. Sreymom, noticing his curiosity, smiles. "I told you yesterday that selling is an art," she said. Actually, she had told him that selling was an art, heavily reliant on understanding how people think.
Social psychology is at play every minute at the crab market. For instance, Kimsan watches as a large group of tourists approaches. At first, they are hesitant, unsure of which stall to choose. Then, one tourist decides to buy a kilo of crabs from Sreymom. Almost immediately, the rest of the group lines up behind him. This is a classic example of herd mentality and social conformity; people often perceive that the choices made by the majority are the correct ones, a common cognitive bias.
Later, Kimsan points to a customer tasting Sreymom’s famous Kampot pepper sauce. Sreymom always offers a free, generous sample. She explained to Kimsan that if she gave them a taste, they always bought her seafood. This taps into the psychological principle of reciprocity. When Sreymom does something nice, the customers feel a subconscious obligation to return the favor.
However, not all psychological phenomena are positive. Kimsan recalls an incident from the previous week. He mentioned that he had dropped a heavy crate of ice on his foot. Despite the crowded market, nobody had stepped forward to help him immediately. Everyone assumed someone else would intervene. This bystander effect left Kimsan struggling until Sreymom finally rushed over to assist. People in groups sometimes suffer from groupthink, assuming the collective inaction is justified.
Throughout the morning, Sreymom is careful to mirror the body language of her customers. If they are energetic and loud, she matches their enthusiasm. If they are quiet and polite, she softens her tone. This builds empathy and trust. Kimsan realizes that while he understands the ocean's tides, Sreymom understands the tides of human behavior. He asked her how she had learned all this. She laughed and replied that the market was the best school in the world.
