WHAT IS A DIALOGUE?
A dialogue is a conversation between two or more people on a particular issue.
HOW TO WRITE A GOOD DIALOGUE
- It must be written in the manner in which we talk in our day-to-day life.
- Use contracted forms of verts like can’t, don’t ve, we’re, Iril, etc.
- Write very simple and short sentences.
- Use short answers, exclamations, question tags, etc.
- Remember that colloquial language enhances the beauty of a dialogue.

Kabir: No my dear, don’t be so excited right now. I’ve learnt that no less than three hundred candidates will go there. There is only one vacancy.
Me : Yes, this is the situation. I graduated three years ago. I have applied for at least three hundred jobs till date. But I’m yet to get any. Only examinations, interviews and dejection at the end. I’m really tired of it.
Kabir: It’s the same story here brother.
Me: The employment opportunities in this country are shrinking day by day.
Kabir: Population, on the other hand, has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

Father : Self-defence? Are you sensing any danger? I’ll call the police then.
Daughter : You know Dad, eve-teasers are now found almost everywhere. Given a single opportunity, they assault girls. And so, self-defence is to be learnt by every girl.
Father : Right you are. I often find the news of Romeos and eve-teasers in the newspaper. To face them courageously, every girl must learn how to defend herself.
Daughter: This is important for teaching them a lesson too.
Father : Well, join karate then without any further delay.

Friend: Why do we go to a circus show if it is a gymnastic event only?
Me : Clowns are also very interesting. Even by their mere presence, they make us laugh.

Naresh: Then what is the use of making such an antistudent policy?
Ramesh: Actually it’s a student-friendly policy.
