Question on instructios for a listening exercise

Hi teachers,
The statement is from a CD.
According to this statement, "But part of her was thinking, ‘This isn’t happening to me.’ "

The thing is that the text says 'part of her was thinking'. I just don't know how to include it in the instruction without sounding odd.

Thanks in advance

Hi Regards,
Thank you for your words. But you didn't offend me. The thing is with this phrase, 'Write down', I've had more that just a few replies. Here and from other teachers that I know. Some teachers have told me the need to use it, some others like you, have said it isn't necessary or even bad style. Finally I've de
