The participants of the conversation are: Auro, the students of Elementary school and Amol, young politics man who respected by society around him.
The characteristic of Auro in the conversation is clever, indecency, insolent, certain and he is also like to mock someone with his word. His indecency is on 2nd and 4th utterances. He doesn’t want to decency with Amol, but he just want to the point. His insolent showed on 6th, 8th and 16th utterance. He still in Elementary school but he fell has more responsibility than Amol. Auro is also certain person such as in 6th, 8th and 10th utterance, “Exact date, please” shows his certainty. In 4th and 16th utterance show Auro’s mocking to Amol, the word “so?” and “I am 12. I don’t have a single bodyguard” emphasized his mocking.
The characteristic of Amol in the conversation is uncomforting man because he has circumstances with Auro before and he try to change it. It showed in 3rd and 7th utterance. Second characteristic of Amol is patient. It showed on the way he said his word patiently. He is also uncertain person such as in 5th, 7th and 9th utterance. On the 5th utterance he said go to Delhi next week and 10th date, but he change it with 11th date after Auro wants a certain decision.
The patterns or adjacency pairs in the conversation are:
1. Invitation.
Amol invite Auro to go to president’s house. Auro accept it but indirectly. He doesn’t say “yes” but with another fragment like “Exact date, please. I have to plan.”



2. Offering
In 6th and 8th utterance Auro offer Amol to give certain date when they goes to president house. Amol has a hesitation with that certain date, but finally he take 11th to go to president’s house.
In 18th utterance, Auro said “I’m sleepy, now I will sleep” means that Auro offer to get finish and close their web call. Amol appreciate it by saying “alright, sleep well”, 19th utterance.

Some utterance of this conversation has certain function. For example: the 1st utterance is Amol’s greeting by asking Auro’s condition “Hey, what’s up? What are you doing?”, but in 2nd utterance Auro doesn’t answer it and he just answer with another question “President’s house, when?” and there is no cohesion between 1st utterance and 2nd utterance. It means that Auro won’t to discuss about his condition, he just want discuss about when they go to president’s house.
