Observe and participate in any interaction at home or in other settings. State the topic(s) of the

Communication used by the participants within that Speech Context.
Last night I was cooking dinner with my sister in the kitchen. While I was busy chopping the onions she
suddenly brought up an embarrassing memory of mine. Out of annoyance I turned to her and gave her a
contemptuous smirk. She then shift the topic when she realized I got mad. Out of a whim I cracked a
joke only to change the vibe but she just plastered a cold smile. Up until now we still haven’t talk. The
speech that is used in the conversation I think was both interpersonal and intrapersonal. Interpersonal
because we are obviously exchanging message through verbal and non- verbal. Intrapersonal in the
other hand because I actually speculate answers to my mind if was just overacting.
