Should your child be using Formal or Informal Writing?

The language has to be applied appropriately for Formal and Informal Writing. The difference between these 2 types of writing will affect the type of grammar, abbreviation, and tone used.

Essentially, don’t forget “yourself” and switch tones in the middle of the letter. If he is using a formal tone, make sure he doesn’t lapse into abbreviations (e.g. could’ve, won’t, she’ll). If he is using an informal tone, don’t start referring to his 12-year-old friend as “Mr. Goh”.

In the event that the tone allows for abbreviations, ensure that the abbreviations can be found in a dictionary; some abbreviations, such as “ain’t”, are not recognised.
