A FORMAL EMAIL
To read and talk about writing a formal email
To read for writing and summarise information
To be able to write a formal email to ask for more information
What factors decide your email formal or informal
Two facts:
The relationship between you and the person who you are writing to
The purpose of your writing
Personal letters may be short or long but they are usually chatty and informal whether you are writing to family or friends.
Formal letters are written to people we don’t know on a personal level for different reasons: to find out information, to apply for a job or a course, to make a complaint …
Look at the advertisement on a school website. Choose one activity that you’d like to know more about and write an email to ask for more information. Decide whether it is going to be formal or informal.
