AP Inter 1st Year English Communication Skills Construction of a Dialogue

Speaking is one of the four important L S R W skills i.e., Listening skill, Speaking skill, Reading skill and Writing skill. Speaking is a productive skill because you need to produce language to speak. Language needs vocabulary and grammar to construct a sentence. Speaking Skill is different from Listening Skill and Reading Skill. Listening and Reading skills are the receptive skills where as Speaking and Writing are productive skills. In receptive skills meaning making takes place in the mind. Even in productive skills vocabulary and grammar are essential but in speaking we use stress and intonation, for writing we use spelling and punctuation.

We speak when we want to communicate some information to others in formal or informal situations. To pass on the information clearly to the listener it has to be communicated effectively.
To converse or to communicate effectively the following points are essential.

• Pronunciation
• Intonation
• Stress

Creating Conversation:

In our day-to-day life many situations arise to get information about various things from various people and to give information. For example, if you go to a shop to buy a dress, you have to talk to the shopkeeper to show you the required material, the quality, and the price. If you go to a Railway station or Bus station you will go to the enquiry and get information regarding the timings of arrival and departure and fares. It comes under formal communication. If you speak with your friends, relatives and at home we use informal conversation.

The following are some situations where we have to create conversation by using appropriate expressions both in Face-to Face (F2F) and in Telephonic Conversation.

• Greetings
• Introducing
• Asking for Information
• Complaining and Apologizing
• Asking for and giving directions
• Making requests

Here we have to learn the specific expressions to be used in both formal and informal situations.

What is formal and informal?

We use formal language in situations that are serious or that involve people we do not know well. Informal language is more commonly used in situations that are more relaxed and involve people we know well.
Formal language is more common when we write, informal language is more common when we speak. Formal and informal use of language is associated with particular choices of grammar and vocabulary. Contractions and relative clauses without a relative pronoun are more common in informal language.

For Example:
She has decided to accept the job. (formal) She’s decided to accept the job. (informal)
The girl whom I met in Singapore was interested in working in Australia, (formal) The girl I met in Singapore was interested in working in Australia, (informal)
The first step in starting a conversation is your greeting. When greeting someone, it is important to use the appropriate level of formality for each situation.

Greetings for Formal situations :

• Good morning / Good afternoon / Good Evening
This is the most common form of greeting in a formal situation and is appropriate to use anytime with colleagues, business clients, formal relationships, new neighbors, etc.
When you are greeting a group of people – for example at a meeting – you can also say something such as : *
Good morning, everyone. I hope you are doing well this morning.

This is for your clarity

Good morning – for the morning up to lunch.
Good afternoon – for the afternoon until early evening Good evening – for the rest of the evening.
Good night – when you leave at the end of the evening, or when you go to bed.

• Hello. How do you do?
This is used when meeting someone for the first time and is very formal. It may be used in a formal business situation or a formal dinner party event.

• Be careful.
This is not really a “How are you?” question. It is really a simple greeting and has a similar meaning to “Nice to meet you. “How do you do?” isn’t really a question, it just means “Hello”.

Informal Situations

• Hello/Hi/Hey
Hello and hi are very common and appropriate to use in more informal situations. Most of the time, people include the person’s first name (English speakers tend to be more informal generally speaking).
Hello, Deepak.
Hi, Prerana.

• How are you? / How are you doing? / How is it going?
Most of the time we follow “hello” or “hi” with one of these questions.
Careful! These questions should have very simple answers and should be focused on the positive or neutral. You should not answer with a list of everything you did during the day nor should you provide a negative answer.

Example answers include

• Fine, thanks. And you?
• Great! You?
• Hi, Vamsika – good thanks. How about you?
• Doing well. And how have you been?
• Not bad. And you? How are you?
• Hello, Giri. How are you?

Now let us see how to say “goodbye”. Good bye in formal situations :

• Have a nice day / Have a good day
This is pleasant, polite way to say goodbye to someone you don’t know verywell.

• It was nice to see you / It was nice meeting you
When you greet someone you often say “it’s nice to see you”, so when you say goodbye you can say “it was nice to see you again”. You can use this expression to say goodbye to someone you already know. Or if this was the first time you met the person, you can say “it was nice meeting you”.

Good bye in informal situations
• Bye
This is the standard goodbye. It’s short, simple, and you can say it to absolutely anyone. It’s appropriate for friends and family, as well as co-workers and business partners.

• Bye bye!
This sweet and babyish expression is usually only used when speaking to children.

• See you later, See you soon / Talk to you later / Catch you late
These are appropriate for anyone, from co-workers to friends.

• Good seeing you. / Good talking with you
These expressions are a great way to end a conversation with someone who you haven’t spoken to or seen for a while.

Introduction

You joined in a new college. You find new students and lecturers. You need to introduce yourself to them. How do you do that ?

Introducing yourself in a classroom :

Even though the language we use to make small talk with new people mày appear to be very simple, it is often difficult to use fluently without practice. So lets practice! Make sure you pay attention to your tone so that you sound friendly. Say aloud the following sentences with your name in the blank space.

Practice

1. You are all first year students. Most of your classmates must be new to you, You might have come to know about all your classmates by now. Try to introduce yourself again in English with the help of above sentences. You can do it as pair work or group work.

2. Imagine a person of your choice being invited as a chief guest at the college day celebrations. So each student can introduce the chief guest of his/her choice in the classroom.

Complaining – Talking about Complaints
The goal of complaining is to make known something of which you are not satisfied and to get the solution you want. While giving a complaint one should be very concerned with being polite and not offending anybody. Here we are going to examine a few different situations when complaints would be necessary and.also the vocabulary that would be needed to complain correctly. We can also call such vocabulary as expressions.

Vocabulary for complaining

Let us look into a situation now
Complaining in a Restaurant
In a restaurant there can be a lot of things to complain about.
Possible reasons to complain in a restaurant might be

• Dirty cutlery: When your knife and fork or eating utensils are not clean or healthy
• Cold food: When your food has not been cooked for the correct amount of time and is cold.
• Uncooked and dangerous food: When your food could damage your health.
• A long waiting time: When you have to wait hours for your food.
• Bad service: If the people that work in the restaurant are rude or unfriendly to you. So how do you complain about these issues without drawing too much attention from other customers in the restaurant?
  Customer : Excuse me!!
  Waiter : Yes Sir. How can I help you?
  Customer : I don’t want to make a scene but there is a fly in my soup!
  Waiter : I am terribly sorry Sir! I will take the soup back to the kitchen and get you another one.
  Customer : I guess that settles the issue. Thank you very much.
  Now usually it is as simple as this, but if the waiter/waitress is rude and doesn’t respond to your polite complaint, then here are some phrases for more extreme situations :
• I’d like to speak to the manager, please.
• I’m sorry, but this is unacceptable!
