What happens when speech is presented

Task A - Two discourse situations

The first thing to notice is that when we present the speech of others in real life there are two different discourse situations involved. Let's pretend that Dawn Archer is talking to you and in that conversation she tells you what she heard her friend, Stef say to Mick Short yesterday.

What are the two discourse situations and how are they related to one another? Try to draw the two situations and how they are related. Then compare your effort with ours
