Answers
Conversation is considered a speech event because speech events are all social activities involving two or more people, in which language plays a crucial part.
Me: Hello, Mrs. Hudson. This is Jamie from class 10 Beta.
Mrs. Hudson: Yes, dear? Do you need anything?
Me: I'd like to tell you about one of my group members for the English project.
Mrs. Hudson: Oh, who is it?
Me: Katie. Katie Johnson.
Mrs. Hudson: Ah, I see. What did she do?
Me: She has not been attending any of our discussions. We already finished everything, just me and Lindsay.
Mrs. Hudson: Hmm... I see. Did she tell you why?
Me: No, she's been ignoring all our calls and texts. But a friend told us she saw Katie at a party the day we were supposed to have a discussion.
Mrs. Hudson: I see. Alright, Jamie. I appreciate you telling me about this. I will contact Katie and see what she has to say.
Me: Thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
Mrs. Hudson: You're welcome, dear. Is that all?
Me: Yes, Mrs. Hudson. Goodbye!
Mrs. Hudson: Goodbye! (hangs up)
