There are some main characteristics in this genre:
- Quite long silences are produced by the speakers. This is because they are concentrating on the activities they are doing while they have conversations.
- A lot of discourse markers are used in order to organize their activities as well as their speeches.
- It is common the use of dietic expressions such as this, that, here and there since they need to refer things around them.
- The use of ellipsis. Also, speakers avoid mentioning things which are directly in front of them since they share the same context. ]]> 2018-06-24 20:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268361091 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268364108 In this case, this image is an example of this conversational genre since the grandma is explaining her grandchild about cooking. Clearly, they are talking about what they are doing at that moment. ]]> 2018-06-24 21:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268364108 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268496878 The main characteristic of this genre is the fact of being interactional as the language is used to socialize.

As they know them very well, there may be use of informal language, topic shift and evaluation on others´ comments. ]]> 2018-06-26 18:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268635236 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268635677 Here, the singer Ed Sheeran is taking part of Jimmy Kimmel´s show. As it is an interview, we can say he talks about himself and the topics are introduced through questions. ]]> 2018-06-26 18:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268635677 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268637342 2018-06-26 18:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268637342 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268637869 2018-06-26 19:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268637869 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268892847 2018-06-28 18:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268892847 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268892879 In this video, the singer Drake talks about his career and his success.

Thus, all the conversation is related to the action they are doing.]]> 2018-06-28 18:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268896105 baguero96 https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268896168 In this video is pretty clear which genre is present during the very beginning, through all the conversation. We can notice that both speakers introduce new topics and comment on each other´s contributions. Also, there is informal vocabulary which gives us a clue of the closeness that exits between both speakers. 
On minute 0:20, the phrase "It´s  been ages"is an instance of chiclé. 
On minute 0:40, there is a topic shifting in which one speaker starts talking about a new activity she has started; as on minute 1:11 when the other speaker asks S2 what other things she is doing and S1 answers the question but introduces a new topic. ]]> 2018-06-28 18:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/baguero96/ryy68oyt6ej/wish/268896168
