I was wondering if any of you would know the conventions of writing a transcript/ discussion between yourself and 2 others? Coz i was asked to do that in my trials for Module C A&C

any help would be much appreciated thanx

Discussion (transcript):
- Similar to an interview, but more conversational
- Entertaining; two equal characters
- Choose characters with differing views
- When planning write out your major points, but write out your points of discussion as well – both sides of the argument
- Language should be appropriate to the characters’ usual tone and manner of speech
- Don’t use colloquial language unless it’s appropriate to the character’s context

In essence, a discussion is an argument between two people. It's very similar to a radio interview, except instead of someone asking questions they are arguing a different/opposite point.

thanks a lot =]
will definitely save me if that comes up
