Direct and reported speech

Today we looked at how to change direct speech to reported speech.
-  We found that:
-  you do not use speech marks
-  it involved the words 'that' or 'if'.
-  the verb tense changes
-  the pronouns might change

E.g. Direct speech        The boy shouted, " I love ice-cream!"
        Reported speech   The boy shouted that he loved ice cream!

Can you write some speech in a sentence and change it to reported speech?
