What is the characterstics of the feature of the formal and informal conversation?

Hi, I am here to give a few characteristics of formal and informal conversation or speech. I would like to tackle this in a simple way. By giving an example, informal conversation is that which arises when two or more people interact in an informal setting while formal conversation is mostly ignited by one party. * Informal conversation has no set objectives, people just converse while formal conversation is goal oriented, some objective has to be achieved. * Informal conversation mostly takes place outside the office environment which does not necessarily mean outside the office but which means that the parties involved have no office issues at hand to handle. * Formal conversations are mostly one way conversations meaning that one party is given time before the other talks while informal conversations have no specifications nor regulations as to who should say what. * Informal conversations which mostly attract informal gatherings have no suitable tone to be aired unlike formal conversations which allow any tone of conversation. * Most formal conversation have a cause that ignites them while the informal conversations just arise. Other characteristics will be added in time.
