Speaking to your
friends...
 |
|
| |
 ...is
different from speaking to your teacher or in front of your class. |
|
|
How would you speak to your friends? |
| |
Emily: "Can ya come to my house after school?"
Sara: "Can't. My bro has a b'ball game. Ma said come
right home."
Emily: "K, maybe later. Call me."
|
|
|
How would you speak to your teacher? |
| |
Mrs.
Hall: "Sara, can you stay after school today to
work on your project?"
Sara: "I'm sorry,
Mrs. Hall. My mother told me to
come right home after school. My brother
has a baseball game, and my mother wants
me to go watch."

How were the two conversations different? |
 |
Friends might say:
*
"ya"
instead of
"you"
*
"bro"
instead of
"brother"
*
"b'ball"
instead of
"baseball" |
To your teacher you speak:
* with respect
* in complete sentences
* with proper words and English |
