Read the Writing Strategy. Then read Ellie's email again and underline.
1 a piece of formal language. How could you make it informal?
2 three different contractions. Can you find any more places where Ellie could have used contractions?
3 an example of a sentence with words omitted at the start. What exactly has been omitted?
Writing Strategy When you write an informal email or letter, • you should avoid formal language. • you can use contractions (you're, it's, etc.). • you sometimes omit words like I, I'm or I've at the start of a sentence (Hope you're well, Got to go now, etc.). |
