The basic rules of direct and indirect narration involve changing the pronouns, tense, and time expressions. For example, in indirect speech, present tense often changes to past, and words like "today" become "that day". Always remove quotation marks and use a reporting verb like “said”, “told”, or “asked”.

Yes, even if students have not studied in an English-medium school, they can still take the SAT exam. The SAT exam can be taken if it is mandatory for submission as a standardised test score. In case, the universities do not require it, taking SAT exam can be skipped.

Being a fluent English speaker will definitely be an advantage for you, but it's not a parameter for success. You can have strong writing skills, creative thinking, or presentation skills. It depends on the career path you choose if you need to have fluency in English. For example, if you want to get a job as a Translator, Customer Care Associate, or even an English Teacher, you'll be required to have a strong command of your spoken English.
