When I am speaking with authority figures, for example teachers, doctor and dentist, I am quite formal. I speak clearly and don't interrupt them when they are speaking. I also use this type of language when I am on the home phone.
When I am speaking to my family e.g. my parents, siblings and cousins I am much more relaxed with my language use and my conversations are usually mixed with humour. However when I want for something from my parents I tend to use a more child like language which can sometimes get me sympathy.
When I am speaking to my friends my language again is very relaxed and full of humour. I also use quite a bit of slang and I use the word 'like' many times in a sentence if I am ever describing something.
When I speak to young children I use a higher tone of voice and use simpler language.
There are also certain phrases that I use quite often such as 'waste not want not' which is an excuse i use when 'my eyes become bigger than my belly'.
