Teacher: You are given a conversation between two people. 'Person1:' and 'Person2:' are used to separate their respective dialogues. You are required to assign a label 'formal' if there is an absence of emotion and a presence of questions anywhere within the conversation. If such pattern is not found assign the label 'informal'.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Person1: Hey man , you wanna buy some weed ?
Person2:Some what ?
Person 1:Weed ! You know ? Pot , Ganja , Mary Jane some chronic !
Person2: Oh , umm , no thanks .
Person1: I also have blow if you prefer to do a few lines .
Person2: No , I am ok , really .
Person1: Come on man ! I even got dope and acid ! Try some !
Person2: Do you really have all of these drugs ? Where do you get them from ?
Person1: I got my connections ! Just tell me what you want and I ' ll even give you one ounce for free .
Person2: Sounds good ! Let ' s see , I want .
Person1: Yeah ?
Person2:I want you to put your hands behind your head ! You are under arrest !
Solution: informal
Reason: Based on the conversation, we can see that there is a presence of exclamation which is not present in a formal discussion. Therefore this is an informal conversation

Now, solve this instance: Person1: Tiffany , why are more and more people turning to the Web to find a mate ?
Person2:I think that , as more people use the Internet for both work and pleasure , it makes more sense as a tool to connect with people , and the stigma of meeting someone online is reduced .
Person1: There are actually special sites for people looking to date within their specific ethnic group and age group . But how should you screen potential mates ? Do you suggest talking to them on the phone right away or communicating via e-mail ?
Person2:I would say do not make the e-mail exchange too long . A lot of times a connection via e-mail creates almost a false sense of intimacy . Quickly make sure there is a connection in the physical world .
Person1: Can you give us any other safety tips for people pursuing relationships on the Net ?
Person2:I'd suggest you not give out too much personal information , like your home address , until after several dates . Just keep up the same guards you would keep up if you were meeting any stranger .
Person1: Besides the growth of these matchmaker sites , do you have any stats on success rates ? Are people out there finding true and lasting love through the Internet
Person2:Well , for a site like ecrush.com , since their debut in Valentine's Day in 1999 , of the 1.5 million people who have joined ecrush.com , 300000 have actually matched .
Person1: Do you have any successful stories to share ?
Person2:Yes , the couple that I highlighted at today's show met on Match.com and they're getting married this summer .
