Dialog between teacher and his student?

Answer 1

You will have to use both the direct and indirect speech when writing a dialogue between two friends who are classmates.

Answer 2

Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.

You go to school, so surely you've heard a teacher and student talking at sometime in your life!

When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

EDIT:

I agree with the previous answerer in terms of using originality and common sense to determine dialog between characters. But there are several technicalities/rules-of-thumb that need to be kept in mind.

1) Only include the dialogue that pushes the scene/plot along. You don't want to include idle chatter that does nothing to develop the character or progress the plot, otherwise you will bore the reader or pull them out of the story.

So leave out the "hellos," "what're you doing's?" and "good byes." On a similar note, don't include verbal injections like the "erms," "uh's," and "um's." Remember that the dialog has to sound believable but can't be as broken as real-life speech.

2) Determine what your conflict is for that scene between the two friends. Whatever issue that needs to be addressed to keep the story going is what your dialog will focus on.

Example: If you're writing a story about bullying in school, you want this scene to show a friendship forming between two characters, and one character was just beaten up while the other stood aside and now feels ashamed...You might start with the bystander handing the battered character his dropped books and apologizing to him for not getting involved.

3) Keep all dialog consistent to the character's personality. If the character is a highly educated 18 year old from a wealthy suburban area, then he certainly wouldn't speak like a 14 year old runaway who has been living in the alleyways of New York City. Consistency is key.

4) Break up dialog with exposition. You need to find a happy medium between showing the scene and telling the reader what happens. The general rule of thumb is to tell the reader (via your prose), things that wouldn't be noticeable/understood by the reader through dialog or action.

Example: Internal monologue/thoughts to show a dual thought that conflicts with what was said. "No, that dress doesn't make you look fat." She turned, swallowing back her laughter. It's only your rear end that needs it's own zip code.

5) Differentiate the actual spoken dialog from internal monologue with a specific technique. I personally use quotation marks for speech and italics for thoughts.

6) Avoid dialogue tags like "she whispered," "he shouted," "she stuttered." Using "he/she said" is invisible to the ready and can be used liberally but use the actual dialogue tags sparingly. My rule of thumb is that if your dialog doesn't tell you how the person is speaking, then it needs revision not a dialogue tag.

7) Use separate lines for each speaker and keep a character's related thoughts on the same line as their speech. Don't place another character's actions/reactions on the same line as a different character's dialogue.

Ex:

Wrong: Amy pointed to the tower. "Did you see that?" "Yeah," Mark replied.

Correct: Amy pointed to the tower. "Did you see that?"

"Yeah," Mark replied.

Just learn the craft and use common sense. Then you shouldn't have too many issues. Good luck :)

This is the part where you do your research and find some facts about the present educational system so you can complete the assignment. Pick several facts that the friends might talk about.

Surely you have opinions about the educational system! What would you say to a friend about this subject?
