LI: to identify the style of a piece of text – informal/formal.
Today, we looked into the two styles you can find in texts. These are; informal and formal. Informal and formal language is the style of text people write in. Formal language is used in settings or situations that are professional or when you want to make a good impression. Informal language is used in unprofessional situations or when you are comfortable with or know someone. The two types of language styles help with giving a first impression. It is always important to use the correct style in the correct situations in order to show that you are a professional. We completed an activity where we changed some informal sentences into formal sentences. Informal language has short sentences, abbreviations and many more grammatical errors.
