Anna said, “This hill is really steep.” “This” should become “that”, could you please explain more? Thanks very much.

Dear Ng, I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are talking about reported speech, which is the topic of the lesson, you might say, "Anna said that hill was really steep." The quote "This hill is really steep" is accurate because Anna was on the hill while she was speaking. Best wishes, Dr. Jill
