1. Observe an interaction between your friends or family members. Describe the setting and purpose of the interaction. Does it take place over dinner? At the mall? In the hallways at school? In the cafeteria?
2. Next, describe the speakers. What is their relationship to one another? Are they friends? Classmates? Husband and
wife? Siblings?
3. Pay attention to what is being said. What is the style of speech used? Is it formal or informal? Provide a few examples.
4. Consider what you've learned about appropriate and inappropriate responses. Now, think about the interaction you
just observed. Did the responses seem appropriate to the situation? In other words, were they truthful, did they bring
about a desired outcome, and were they kind? Provide at least one or two examples to back up your evaluation.
5. Try to identify any feedback signals. These are verbal or nonverbal responses to a message, such as eye contact.
nodding, or gesturing. List any feedback signals you observed and explain how each enhanced or hindered the
message
6. Given what you know about speech styles in informal settings, would you characterize the communicators as
competent in the situation you observed? Explain your answer.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.
