In this post, compile some examples of dialogue that you have been witness to in your internship.
Choose 2 of the following, and write about your experience. Don't forget to explain what you have learned from these examples. What conclusions can you draw?
1. Write out a dialogue where you made mistakes and another to show how you would avoid those mistakes in the future. Give the context of when and where this happened.
Phone interaction
Me: Hi Mister
Man: Excuse me, hello?
Me: Hi, I am calling to tell you about the party.
Man: Who is this?
Me: Oh, I am a stagiare ...uh...intern from The Lasalle Community Centre.
Man: Oh, hello. And what party is this?
Me: The Christmas party on twenty-one December. Can you come?
Man: I will see. Thank you. (hangs up)
What I would say in the future
Me: Good afternoon, Sir.
Man: Hello.
Me: I am sorry to bother you, but I am calling to invite you to our annual holiday party.
Man: Oh, thank you. When is it?
Me: It will take place next week, on Friday, December 21st.
Man: I will check my calendar and get back to you.
Me: Great. We'll be very happy to see you if you can make it.
Man: Thanks for calling.
2. Write out a dialogue to demonstrate an Ah-ha! moment where you realized something about language. Explain what happened and what you learned.
e.g.
3. Write out part of a formal dialogue that you heard or participated in during your internship. What makes this conversation formal? What words or structures are formal? (e.g. If you are doing telephone work, write your script)
4. Write out part of an informal dialogue that you heard or participated in during your internship. What makes this conversation informal? What words or structures are informal? (e.g. If you interact with people your own age or hear your supervisor speak with a friend)
Note: Do not only provide the dialogue or example, make sure that you explain why you chose this dialogue and especially what you have learned from these experiences.
