yesterday
Partner 1: Why it's you! Hey Katie meet Ann. Remember I told you about my cousin?
Katie: Oh, I've heard a lot about you!
I am so glad to finally meet you! (It's nice to finally meet you! ; Excited to meet you!)
Ann: Nice to meet you too! How is it going?
Katie: Quite well, thanks.
Ann:Mind if I call you Katie?
Katie: Why not? (Sure. Go ahead!)
Ann: I need to go now, let's all meet later.
Katie: Sure. It was great meeting you! I think you are awesome!
Ann: I think so (I think the same way) 😉. See you later!
Katie: See ya, bye!
Ann: bye!
I need to write a dialogue using an informal registertone.
"register" kind-of has the same meaning as "tone", but it's really only in more technical jargon (especially in computer science). "Tone" is used for writing and speaking.
Why, it's you!
"Why, it's you!" Is a common English phrase, and their is always a little pause after "why" (at least when spoken).
Hey Katie, meet Ann.
Same here, it's natural to pause after saying "hey <someone>".
Remember when/what I told you about my cousin?
Katie: Oh, I've heard a lot about you!
I am so glad to finally meet you!
Another common phrase is "It's so good to finally meet you!"
(It's nice to finally meet you! ;
EI'm excited to meet you!)
Or "I've been excided to meet you!"
Ann: Nice to meet you too!
How is it going?
Quite well, thanks.
It's pretty common (and generally more polite) to say "... and you?" after someone asks "how you're doing". e.g.
"how are you doing?" -> "good, and you?"
Ann:Mind if I call you Katie?
WSure, why not?
You can't really use "why not?" without first saying "sure" (in this context). Otherwise it comes of as slightly rude as it sounds like you're trying to say "obviously. Why wouldn't you be able to call me that?"
(Sure.
Go ahead!)
Ann: I need to go now, let's all meet later./again!
Katie: Sure/Okay.
It was great meeting you!
I think you are awesome!
Haha, this is funny, but I don't think most people would say this in English (unless they were trying to be funny and saying it in a really exaggerated manner, or you're screaming it out to a celebrity). It sounds too direct. You can lessen this directedness by first saying "by the way," and maybe instead of "awesome" you use "cool". e.g.
"oh, by the way. I think you're cool/pretty cool." (Without the exclamation mark (!))
Ann: I think so (I think the same wayyou too (I feel the same about you too) 😉.
"I think so too" sounds like Ann is agreeing with Katie and also thinks that "Ann is cool" (which will come of as selfish). You could make that line of thinking work if you say it in an overly sarcastic manner, but it would probably be better to say something like "I know I am" instead of "I think so too".
See you later!
See ya, bye!
Ann: bye!
Feedback
Great Job! I think it's a great idea to roleplay a casual conversation in your target language, as this is a judgement-free zone and you can get lots of hopefully helpful feedback!
I need to write a dialogue using an informal register.
Partner 1:
Why it's you!
Hey Katie meet Ann.
Remember I told you about my cousin?
Katie: Oh, I've heard a lot about you!
I am so glad to finally meet you!
(It's nice to finally meet you! ;
Excited to meet you!)
Ann: Nice to meet you too!
How is it going?
This is OK, but since you want an informal register, I would definitely use the contraction "How's it going?"
Katie:
Quite well, thanks.
Ann:Mind if I call you Katie?
Katie:
Why not?
This is grammatically fine, but "Sure" and "Go ahead" are much better in this context.
(Sure.
Go ahead!)
Ann: I need to go now, let's all meet later.
Katie: Sure.
It was great meeting you!
I think you are awesome!
Ann: I think so (I think the same way) 😉.
This sounds like Ann thinks Ann is awesome. I think you want to say Ann thinks Katie is awesome, right? In that case, you could say, "So are you!"
See you later!
Katie:
See ya, bye!
Ann: bye!
Feedback
Very good! The only part that was really strange was "I think so." Everything else was excellent. I just made some small comments to make it sound 100% native.
