learning goals

I know the difference between formal and informal language

I can change my vocabulary according to the purpose of my writing.

What do you think of when you hear 'formal language'?

Formal

usually longer

Avoids everyday language

less emotional/personal

Informal

to friends and family

usually shorter

emotional and personal

Formal writing in a nutshell

• Formal language → more 'expensive' wording
• No contractions → can’t = cannot / won’t = will not
• Do not use questions
  
• In an essay → do not use ‘I’
  
• Use linking words
  
• Focus on lay-out: Empty line between each paragraph

Study the language (left: informal right: formal)
