Jasmine and Lily are talking about their favorite animals. Lily says, “I really love elephants. They’re so big but gentle.” Jasmine interrupts, “ I need to go,” and walks away without another word.
Not good. She didn't wait till her friend finishes talking and didn't explain why she needs to go or make a final connected comment
Owen and Max are talking about a YouTube video they both watched. Max says,“I laughed so hard when the guy fell into the pool!” Owen waits, laughs, and says,“Yeah,it was hilarious!I need to head to the library now before it closes.See you!"
Good:waited till his friend finishes talking and explained why he needed to go, made a final connected comment
Emma is telling Ava about her weekend trip. Emma says, “Then we went hiking up this huge mountain and…” Ava checks her watch, says, “That’s nice! I have to get to music class or I’ll be late. Talk to you later!”
Not very good: shouldn't have interrupted her friend.
