It's really difficult for me to write dialogues but, still I am giving myself a chance.
I have tried to a write dialogue between two friends one of whom lacks confidence.
Tom: Hey, how are you Elly.
Elly: Hi, I'm just fine!
Tom: Just fine? Why? What happened?
Elly: I'm nervous!
Tom: Oh, why you are nervous? Dear you can share your problem with me. Tell me what is bothering you? I will surely try to fix your problem!
Elly: You are my good friend and, I'm sure you probably take me out from the problem.
Tom: Sure, I would love to help you dear.
Elly: I have been selected for a speech competition. And I'm feeling nervous.
Tom: Woa! Congrats dear. I know why you are nervous. You lack confidence in public. Am I right?
Elly: Excatly! This is the whole problem. I am feeling nervous and afraid of peoples' reaction on my speech in the auditorium.
Tom: Hm, so this is it? Come'on dear I am sure you can do it very well.
Elly: I really wish, I could do it without nervousness. Could you suggest me something to overcome my nervousness and lack of confidence?
Tom: Sure, why not? But, first of all take a deep breath and relax. Panicking or feeling nervousness can't help you in building up your confidence. Take a chill pill honey!
Elly: You always cheer me up. I know, if you encourage me, I would probably feel relax and will give a great speech in front of people.
Tom: Believe in yourself, this is the key point. Hmm, now let me suggest you something to overcome this problem. When you are standing next to a dais, in front of people in the auditorium, be careful with your gestures. Don't try to make eye contact with people, sitting in the auditorium. Try to focus on your speech rather than the crowd. It will surely help you not to lose your self-confidence.
Elly: Tom I really hope it will work.
Tom: It will, dear, it will work. Just remember what I said and you will succeed. I am sure.
Elly: Thanks so much for such friendly suggestions Tom. I 'm sure you will help me to solve the problem. I shall go now, and rehearse the speech. Thanks once again dear.
Tom: Wish you luck dear. See you in the auditorium!
(I'm sure I have made so many grammatical and punctuation errors...! eh looking forward to corrections :D )

Hi everyone,
Just as you can see, I always try to make some corrections for anyone who really wants to be corrected, or whenever I see the "correction tag", which means you don't mind others correcting you in public.
English is such a tricky language, so it's inevitable for you (a learner of English) to make some mistakes in your writing. In fact, we all make mistakes, even a native English teacher. But we learn from our mistakes. The problem is that we may have failed to spot all of the mistakes in our writing, or we may have been totally unaware of them. If someone else can help point out our mistakes, then we will notice and correct them.
I'd appreciate it if someone helps me to correct the mistakes in my blogs. I don't need to pretend I'm so good at English. I know I'll make mistakes whenever I write since I'm just a learner of English. Anyway we're here to learn English - it's not a matter of saving face.
I'll try to correct them in public because I think other members will benefit from the corrections too.
I don't mind you correcting me in public whenever you find mistakes in my writing. Don't try to save my face - just correct me!
Do you think it's a good idea to turn a blind eye to the mistakes in someone's blogs? Correct them or not?
Great!
Writing dialogues can be so challenging - it's harder than having a real conversation.
Re corrections:
1. "I have tried to write a dialogue between two friends where, one of whom is lacking lacks confidence."
2. "Can you suggest me something to overcome my" -- "suggest" can be so tricky, you can say "Can you suggest that I do something to overcome my..."
3. "When you will be are standing next to a dais"
4. "Don't try to make an eye contact with people"
5. "and you will succeed/win do the best" -- "do the best" doesn't really mean "succeed" or "win".
6. "I'm sure you will help me (to) solve probably take me out from the problem" -- you could use "get sb out of" instead of "take sb out from".
7. "I have been selected for a speech competition"
Hope you can get it! Some of them might be typos, though.
I knew you could do it Anah. This is great for a first dialogue. I read the good comments and advice people left for you and it looks like you will have to write some more of these to keep your audience happy.
correction:- elly: tom i hope that it will really work.
tom: it will dear,it will work. just keep it in mind what i said,just follow my instruction hope you will do the best.
elly:- thanks or thank you so much for a such friendly suggestion.i was sure that you would probably take me out from this stressfull situation.
corrections : Line 6 : Error -sure (you) probably is -incorrect instead of you it should be (you'll ).
Corrections : "(can) you suggest me anything to overcome my nervousness and lack of confidence ? " It should be 'could' :)
corrections :Last 2nd line :Error " I (was )sure you (would) probably take me out of this stress.- I (am) sure you (will) probably take me out of this stress . :)
Nice blog Anah :)
Dimas bro thanks! :)
Zakir thanks for the encouragement! :)
Afro I am not nervous but, yea I do lack confidence in public. That's the reason I never participated in speech competitions. :-/
GKSA thanks a lot for such amazing appreciation! I agree with what you have said. :)
This is a dialogues between two friends about the motivation. The spirit of the dialogues probably can apply to the learners who are panicking and feeling nervousness while they are speaking English. It might help them to trigger with a new approach. Anah Bravo! Keep it up.
I hope you are not nervous in your real life....
Don't know about the grammatical mistakes but you have wrote a nice conversation as your 1st attempt. Keep it up... :) :) :)
