    DIALOGUE WRITING

             A dialogue literally means ‘talk between two people.’ To write a dialogue
    successfully, the writer has not only to see both sides of a question, but has also to
    put himself inside two imaginary persons so as to make them express their opposite
    opinions naturally. He has in turn to be each one, and see the point of view of each
    on the question.

             The dialogue should begin in an interesting way, so that the reader’s attention
    may be arrested from the very first. And the conversation should lead up to some
    definite conclusion. It should not end abruptly.

             Keep in mind that your dialogue, when completed, should read like a real,
    spontaneous conversation.

    Sample

    1.       A dialogue between two boys discussing their hobbies.

    George – I am in luck, Will. My uncle has just sent me a letter from Japan where he
    is on business, with some Japanese stamps. He knows I collect them and often
    sends me foreign stamps from the places he visits.  

    Will – They look rather nice. Are you going to paste them in your album?

    George – Yes, here it is. I have got quite a nice collection now.

    Will – What a lot! French, Italian, Dutch, German, American, Turkish. You seem to
    have some from almost every country.

    George – Oh! there are a lot I have not got yet. And some rare ones are very
    expensive, and cost pounds of money.

    Will – But what is the use of collecting stamps?

    George – Oh! Well, it’s a hobby. And it teaches you some geography; and
    sometimes it brings money.

    Will – How is that?

    George – A really good collection sometimes sells for hundreds of pounds. Why
    don’t you go in for stamp-collecting?

    Will – I like something more active. My hobby is collecting ferns and wild flowers.
    And to get these you have to go long country walks, and explore the woods, and
    climb the hills. It is quite an adventure when you find a rare plant or fern in some wild
    place.

    George – But what do you do with them when you get them?
    Will – I press them, and then mount them neatly on sheets of paper, and name
    them. I have got quite a nice collection.

    George – How do you press them?

    Will – I lay the fern or plant between sheets of blotting-paper, and put them in a
    press, or under a board with heavy weights. You have to change the blotting-paper
    every day, and in about a week the plant is dried and pressed, and will last like that
    for years.

    George – And what is the good of your hobby?

    Will – Well, it teaches me a lot of botany, and takes me into beautiful country; and
    does me good physically, because it means exercise in the open air.
