Julie: Were people watching on the ground? Brian: Yes, there were lots of people. I'm doing another jump next week. Do you want to come and do a jump, too? Julie: I don't think so.

Передаём беседу в косвенной речи с прошедшим глаголом said/asked. Поэтому did → had done, didn't think → hadn't thought, jumped → had jumped; is doing → was doing, will → would. Вопросы передаём с if/whether без обратного порядка слов: asked if he had found it scary. Местоимения меняются по говорящему: Brian's I → he, Julie's you → he. Next week в рассказе о прошлой беседе становится the following week. Просьба Don't be afraid передаётся как told her not to be afraid. Последнее I'll do it превращается в she would do it.

Перевод: Джули удивилась прыжку Брайана и спросила, было ли страшно. Он ответил, что просто прыгнул; зрителей было много, а на следующей неделе он собирался прыгнуть снова. Он пригласил Джули, успокоил её словами о тренерах, и она согласилась.
