Question

Write a dialogue between two students discussing their choice of a career.

Answer 1

Hint: The format of dialogue writing is as follows:
       - Introduction
       - Alternate dialogues

Complete step-by-step answer:

Dialogue writing is more flexible than letter writing, as there is more space to experiment. Let’s write the dialogue for the above question:

Two friends, X and Y are talking in a classroom during the break.

X: “That career counselling class was very helpful, don’t you think? It has helped me realise what I want to do.”
Y: “It helped me, too! I was able to narrow down exactly what I want to study in the future. What do you want to study?”
X: “I want to become a Marine Biologist. I am very interested in that subject. What is it you want to do?”
Y: “That sounds so intriguing! I want to become an astrophysicist. Science is my favourite subject and to study that more would be so exciting.”
X: “Science is one of my favourite subjects, too! But, I’m more interested in biology. Did you know that we do not know anything about 90% of the ocean? Isn’t that cool?”
Y: “It is very cool. I want to study the stars and the planets. My favorite scientist, Carl Sagan, once said,’ We are made of star-stuff’. We have the same elements that stars are made of!”
X: “Wow! That is crazy. I also want to get into marine life conservation and try to save species that are going extinct.”
Y: “Me too. I also want to try and contribute to reversing climate change. It is almost a requirement at this point.”
(the bell rings)
X: “This was fun! I will talk to you after school now. Bye!”
Y: “Yes, it was. See you later, bye!”

Note: It is important to follow the format given above. Add creativity into the dialogues.
