Using Quillbot AI Dialogue Generator to create a Dialogue for presenting language items

 tools: Quillbot AI Dialogue Generator

https://quillbot.com/ai-writing-tools/ai-dialogue-generator

Target Language Items: Adverbs of Frequency: never, seldom, sometimes, often

MY INITIAL PROMPT: 

Two lower secondary students, both male, sharing their own after-school activities with each other. The dialogue is not more than 120 words in length, and should include these adverbs of frequency: never, seldom, sometimes, often. This dialogue is to be used in a lower-secondary ESL lesson for presenting the adverbs of frequency. 

GETTING A SECOND VERSION

The first output is a bit too short, and contrived as each utterance is too short. I asked the app to revise by lengthening it a bit, and extend some of the utterances. Below is the output: 

OUTPUT: 

Tom:

Hey, Jake! What do you usually do after school? I’m curious because I want to try some new activities.

Jake:

Hi, Tom! Well, I often play basketball with my friends. It’s a lot of fun and helps me stay active. Sometimes we play for hours if the weather is good. What about you? What do you like to do?

Tom:

I sometimes go to the library to read books or do my homework. I seldom watch TV on school days because I want to finish my tasks first. But on weekends, I often relax and watch shows.

Jake:

Interesting! I never go to the library because I find it a bit boring, but I know it’s useful. I prefer playing outside or riding my bike. It’s more exciting for me.

Tom:

That’s cool. Do you sometimes do your homework right after school, or do you wait until later?

Jake:

I often do my homework before dinner because then I can relax without worrying about it later. But sometimes, if I’m really tired, I wait until after dinner. What about you? How do you manage your homework?

Tom:

I sometimes do it right away, but I often take a short break first to rest. It helps me focus better. After that, I usually finish everything before dinner.

Jake:

Sounds good! It’s nice that we both have different ways to spend time after school, but we still get everything done. Maybe we can play basketball together sometime after homework?

Tom:

 That’s a great idea! I seldom play sports, so it would be fun to join you and learn. Let’s plan for it soon!
