THE THINGS TO AVOID IN ORDER TO TAKE PART IN A TURN-TAKING CONVERSATION

1.Interruption

Unknown:Good afternoon, everyone. So our topic for today is about the ways on how we can
communicate with each other. Now… (Noise from students suddenly was heard)

Unknown (2): Omygosh! Have you seen Jungkook's update on Instagram? He's so
handsome! (forda pashout madam)

Unknown (3): Yes, I agree. After a few weeks, he finally posted on his social media. (forda
kilig effects bumbum)

Unknown:Class, Can you please focus on our discussion first? This is part of your first
examination, which is really important for your grades.

2.Overlap

Unknown: What do you like most, the top or the bottom part of the bunk bed

Unknown (2):The top bunk is better

Unknown (3): The bottom bunk is much better

Unknown (2):I love the top bunk because I have my privacy and you won't have a chance to
see me drool in my sleep.

(Dun sa part ng Because nung top bunk biglang sasapaw si bottom bunk)(Overlapped dapat
ung reasons nung dalawa)

Unknown (3): The bottom bunk is the best! because if I really need to go to the washroom, I will
not need to climb off the bed and simply hop off.

3.Gap

Unknown : Have you heard about the the news about the increase of oil prices in the
Philippines on November 15? It is said that the price would increase a lot because of high
demand in oil.

(Unknown (2) was distracted because of using the phone)

Unknown (2): Huh? Come Again?

(Unknown repeated the statement again to fill in the gap of the conversation.)
