Understanding the Purpose of Speech in a Conversation
Listen to the conversation between two students, Lisa and Mark, in a university hallway.
Lisa: Hey Mark! I just wanted to ask you about the coding workshop happening this Friday.
Mark: Sure, what do you want to know?
Lisa: I heard that it’s for beginners, but is it really useful?
Mark: Absolutely! The instructor has a lot of experience, and you'll learn a lot. Plus, it’s a great way to network.
Lisa: That sounds good! I’m also curious if there are any prerequisites.
Mark: No, not really. Just a basic understanding of computers is enough. You’ll pick up the coding part easily.
Lisa: Great! I think I might sign up.
Mark: Definitely do! It’s a fun experience. Let me know if you need help with the registration.
