General CEU: Reciprocal conversations

A reciprocal conversation is a back-and-forth exchange in which both people take turns as speaker and listener: each person responds to what the other just said, asks and answers questions, and keeps the shared topic going rather than talking at the other person. Reciprocity — the mutual, contingent exchange of turns — is what separates a conversation from a monologue, a script, or a series of one-word answers.
