The Formal Vibe (Speaking with a Teacher)
Context: A student needs to speak with their teacher after class.
Student: (Approaches the desk) Excuse me, Mr. Davies? Do you have a moment?
Teacher: Of course, Maria. What can I do for you?
Student: I was wondering if it would be possible to get a short extension on the
history essay? I’ve had a bit of a family emergency this week.
Teacher: I’m sorry to hear that. Is everything alright?
Student: It will be, thank you for asking. I just need an extra day or two to finish it
properly.
Teacher: I understand. Let’s say you can hand it in on Friday without any penalty.
Student: Thank you so much, Mr. Davies. I really appreciate it.
Teacher: You’re welcome. Take care.
Student: You too. Goodbye.

The Semi-Formal / Neutral Vibe (Acquaintances / Classmates)
Context: Two students from the same chemistry class meet in the library.
Alex: Hi Sam. How’s it going?
Sam: Oh, hey Alex. I’m good, thanks. Just trying to get a head start on the lab report.
Alex: Me too. That last experiment was pretty tricky, wasn’t it? I’m still not sure about
my calculations.
Sam: I know what you mean. I found the part about the reaction rates really
confusing. Hey, I was thinking of forming a study group for the final exam. Would you
be interested?
Alex: Yeah, that’s a great idea. I could definitely use the help.
Sam: Cool, I’ll ask a few others and make a group chat.
Alex: Perfect. Thanks! Well, I’ll let you get back to your work. See you in class.
Sam: Sure thing. Have a good one.

Mixed Vibe (Friend of a Friend at a Party)
Context: You’re at a party and see someone you’ve met once before.
Leo: Hey, you’re Chloe’s friend, right? I’m Leo. We met at the kickball
tournament.
Maya: Oh, yeah! Hi, Leo. I’m Maya. How are you?
Leo: I’m good! This is a cool party. The music is great.
Maya: It really is. I love this DJ. So, how do you know Chloe?
Leo: We have math together. She’s always complaining about it. (laughs)
Maya: (laughs) That sounds like her! I know her from soccer. Speaking of
which, I think I see our captain over by the snacks. I should probably go
say hi.
Leo: Yeah, of course. It was good talking to you!
Maya: You too! Enjoy the party!
