Dialogue writing.

1) Give an appropriate introduction. You have to write an introduction in brackets (Who is speaking to whom on what occasion.)
2) You have to use the names that is given in the question.

3) Understand the topic well and make points. Starting dialogue should be a greeting.
4) The dialogue should be realistic and interesting. Don't go away from the topic.

5) No unnecessary talks. Proper sequence of dialogues is important. It should not be lengthy.
6) You should use simple language keeping in mind the flow of the conversation. What speaker will tell at that point, that you have to think and write.

7) Use of  proper tense should be there. Every speaker gets new paragraph.
8) You should use Direct Speech. You can also include Questions and Exclamations.

9) All the colons should be one below the other.
10) Closing line should formally end the dialogue.

11)  Write minimum five dialogues per person on the given topic. [ means five dialogues of both speakers]
12) It should seem a natural conversation and should convey the message. You can write dialogue in one page.
