Conversation is a talk between two people. It can be formal as well as informal. It is a talk in which both have equal rights to express their thoughts and suggestions and arguments. It happens between friends, families, relatives, officials etc. Speech is a talk between an individual and a crowd, mostly in a formal way. During speech one person is allowed to talk and others are not involved. The person who delivers speech talks about a particular topic were as others listen to it.

Conversation is more like an interactive session. Conversation helps in socialization. During a conversation you are supposed to respect other person's suggestions and arguments. You have to be more understandable and a great listener. Appreciation and acceptance, along with self control and resistance are also important in an conversation.

Characteristics of speech includes speech flow, loudness, intonation and intensity of overtones. A speech should be a slow talking in an informal way with greater clarity. It should be free from emotions. Audience should be considered while you talk and express. Self-Awareness and continuous self-improvement are other features.

Hello,

Conversation is interactive communication between two or more people. The development of conversational skills and etiquette is an important part of socialization. The development of conversational skills in a new language is a frequent focus of language teaching and learning. This is the main theory of conversation.

When ever you do conversation with anyone you have to remind some points which is mainly known as characteristics of conversation. And it's important to impress  your opponent of yourself. The points are below-

• Be Respectful. Appreciate others' thinking.
• Be Prepared. Focus on the topic, activate background knowledge, and make connections.
• Be An Active Listener. Look at the person speaking.
• Be Clear. Speak clearly so that others understand.
• Inquire and Probe.
• Show Comprehension.
• Check Understanding.
• Control Self.

And the main difference between conversation and a speech is that conversation takes place in between two or more people in which every individual has equal rights to speak and involve in it.

Whereas, in other speech only one person speaks in front of everyone else. Everyone does not have equal rights to speak.

All the best.
