Помогите перевести текст в косвенную речь (английский язык)

Объясните пожалуйста, как перевести этот текст в косвенную речь? Никак не могу понять.
I didn’t like reading when I was a little boy. It
was boring to sit for hours with a book in my
hands trying to learn what happened to the
characters. I used to play football and basketball
with my friends.

I have to confess, I read Very slowly. At school
we are given a lot of homework, so I have to
read anyway: history and literature, biology and
geography. So much reading!

Not long ago the situation changed. My father
bought me my first CD book. It’s fantastic! It’s
like a computer game. Turning the pages over
you can see what’s happening in pictures, in
colors and in action! It’s really amazing. I think
CD books will be much more popular with
teenagers of my generation than printed books.
