Yeah. Okay, right. So Brian, sorry, babon, I'm just getting some more time. Okay, so we're going to look at formal versus ses informal style writing today. And before we jump into that, we're going to have a look and and just go over what we learned from last week. Okay, so we looked at the sentence transformation. And sentence transformation is changing the structure of the sentence, making sure that the meaning, this is the key part, me keeping the meaning the same. And it's very useful in both writing and comprehension. Okay? So we'll practice some of the things that we had to go at last week and then we'll move on to the new topic. Okay? So I'd like you to transform the four following sentences. So the first one to transform it into active form. The second sentence to change it to certain phrase. The third one into passive form, and then the last sentence to make it sound less certain. So maybe a possibility. So how can we turn the first sentence into active form? The close complete the whole work Yeah. Class repeted. I look good. How can we turn to make the second sentence sound more certain she might come later? You may be commuso to make it sound more certain you actually will say she will come later or she should come later, okay? Just because that sounds more certain, as if it's not a possibility that she may or may not come, but she definitely will be coming, okay? What about the third sentence? How can we change it into passive form? The teacher gave out books. The books were giving up my teeth by the teacher. Yeah, the books were given out. By the teacher. Good. And then the last sentence to make it less certain they will win them match. A. Maybe when they not maybe maybe is not really something to make it certain maybe is like where it can be a yes or no. So it is a possibility, but it's not something that we can use in a sentence transformation, okay? It's not one of those might could sort of words, okay? So they it would be better to say they might win the match or they could win the match, okay? Meaning that there's a chance that they might not win the match, okay? So you can say they might they might win the match, okay, or they could win the match. So can you just write down the three, these three words can you write down? Will, should to say, make it more certain, and then might or could to make it less certain. So I'll write it here to make a sentence more certain, we can use. Should. Will. And then to make it less certain. We can say might. Good. So you can also write for less certain they may so not may be, but may win the match. Yeah just this bit, the more certain bit and then the less certain bit just so we know the words to look for when we're writing in that text, writing this. Have you written that bit? The more certain and the less certain? Yeah. Okay, so okay, let's move on. So what we're looking at today actually is how to look at the difference between formal or informal style of writing to understand where each of these styles can be used. Learning how to convert from formal to informal and informal to formal. Use accurate tone to help us with our grammar. Okay, so there's a new word that I'm gonna to introduce you to that will come up in the lesson. It's called colloquial. Okay? When we say colloquial, it refers to colloquial language and this means basically just informal or slang language. So the full term will be can, but the colloquial term will be. Okay, so that's just a word to keep in mind when we have a look, just so we know what it means. Colloquial language just means informal or slang language. Okay, right. So what is kind of formal style? So formal style is a kind of a formal and proper way of speaking, and we use it in different situations. So we can use it for essay writing or comprehension. We can use it when we're writing formal letters, maybe to teachers or head teachers or the government for reports as well and then as well as used in exams when we're answering questions. Okay. What they the kind of features that formal style of language has. It has standard English, precise vocabulary, complex use of sentences, and it's a very polite and respectful tone. Okay? So we're speaking almost in into someone that is in a position of authority, not someone who is like a friend where we would use more so informal language. Okay. The part with where it says no contractions as well, do we know what contractions means? Do we know what it means? No. Okay. So okay, that's okay. So right with done with no contractions, it means we don't use it all rights in thought form. Okay. So it means no writing. In short form. Yeah, that's fine. So if we could write the definition of formal style down, so it's a language style that uses precise meaning, specific and professional language. There is no slang, no contractions or casual faphrasing. And then I've written what contractions means as well. Just in case we don't know, no contractions means no writing in short form. So for example, we will write, we will, instead of we'll. So finished. Yeah. Okay, let's move along. What is informal style then? So informal style is type of language that we can use and things like casual speech when we're talking with friends in text messages. And it does use contraction. So for example, you know, don't, can't, okay, uses those shortened words. It can use slang. So informal language, it can use things like simple sentences. It's usually a more friendly tone and a colloquial expression. So remember how we talked about colloquial be meaning slang tans. Okay, does that make sense? Yeah, we understand the difference between formal and formal style. So let's look at the key differences between both languages and what the differences are. So inforformal language, say I would like to request or I am unable to attend, okay. This is formal language, use very polite, direct sentence and non colloquial language, whereas informs, can you tell me or I can't make it, okay. The difference between formal and informal language is informal is more casual, like talking to friends, whereas formal is more used in kind of proper manners when speaking to people of authority, like teachers or in schools, or if you speak to a grown up. Okay, formal language is more commonly used. So in these examples, Brian, can you write down one sentence? So for informal, write the second sentence, and then for the formal, write the first sentence. So for formal, can you write? I would like to request. And then for informal, I can't make it. Don't miss how finished. So common types of formal vocabulary that we can have is therefore, however, consequently attend, request, apologize. So do you see how with formal you will say. Apologies. Whereas informal, you can be a bit more casual and you can say sorry, Oh, I'm sorry. My apologies. And then informal sorry, I'm sorry. And then sincerely, sincerely can be a way to write the end of a letter. So it's your sincerely we can write and then it's the same as sort of see you, see you later. Okay. So can you pick three examples of three word examples for formal vocabulary? Maybe let's do the last three. So request, apologize and sincerely, can we write down those three examples of formal vocabulary? And then write this example down as well. So formal versus informal, my apologies. And then I'm sorry. You have to write all of that. Therefore, however, consequently, no, no, just the last three, you know, request, apologize and sincerely, those are the only three ones that would like you to write down for formal vocabulary examples. Have we finished? Yeah, okay. Common informal vocabulary can be things like gunner. So gunner is an informal way of saying going to, we've got Yeah, meaning yes, we've got cool again as a slang time to speak to friends. Loads of is the same as saying a lot of Wanner is want to. Hang out again, speaking with friends time. So do you want to hang out this evening? And then, by the way, as well, is common, is common informal language. So can you out these three, Brian, could you sorry, out the list? Could you pick three to write down his examples for informal vocabulary? So you can do, you can say gner, hang out and you can say wanna. So those three examples, if you could write down for me and then we'll move along. I finished this. So let's have a look at a few examples of sentences. So informal sentence would be, I'm going to ask if I can go. So I'm gonna ask if I can go. These are all informal phrases that I've underlined. The formal phse of it is I am going to ask whether I may attend. Okay, and a few contractions as well. To be, to know is do not, cannot and will not. These are common contractions. So when we're speaking informal, we say do not, cannot not, will not. But if you are speaking in informal and to friends, you can say, don't, can't and won't, okay? So let's identify the style that it's writing that is used. Okay, we've got three sentences here and we want to decide whether the sentences are informal or formal. So the first one is, I would appreciate your assistance. Is that formal or informal? And we'll write f for formal, and we'll write I for informal. So I would appreciate your assistance. Is that formal or informal? That's formal. Yes. Yeah, that's formal. Good. I would appreciate your assistance. Informal would be, Oh, can I, can I can I get some help? Okay, or can you help me? Okay? That would be informal. Okay, second sentence. Yeah, that sounds cool. Is that formal or informal? 嗯么。What do we think? Formal? Informal. Informal. Yeah, excellent. Good. It is informal. Why? Because he says, Yeah, that sounds cool. Cool is not a sort of formal word to use. Good. And then the last sentence is, please accept my apologies for the delay. Is that formal or informal? What do we think? Formal, informal? Formal Yeah formal is right. Excellent. Why? Because you said, please accept my apologies for the delay. If this sentence was informal, we could say. I' M Story. I'm late. That is what it would be if it was informal. Okay, I'm sorry I'm late because you shorten you've used contraction. So instead of I am you've used I'm and then sorry, not as informal. Again, it's not a formal way to apologize. To say sorry in a formal manner is saying apologies or to apologize. Excellent. Okay, so I've got three sentences on the board now. Can you write these three sentences from informal to formal? So they've been written in informal. Can you write these informal sentences? I finished. Stay. Miss, how finished is it? Miss finished the. Miss. This. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss miss. Miss miss. No, sarcan't hear you? I can't hear you. We didn't muted. Miss, just caught here. Oh, okay, I can hear you now. Sorry, I think my headphone's just disconnected. Okay, have you finished? Yeah okay. What's the first sentence then? I am going to be late. Good. And the second sentence is. The second sentence is, can you I it's the second sentence is the making it to formal, informal, making it to formal. So actually, it would be, please, always asking kindly, because if you're asking someone for a question for a favor, you always start with, please, could you. Give me or give myself, or you can just say me the information. Okay, so please could you give me the information instead of can you give me the info? The Oh wrote the teacher said that we are starting now. Yeah, excellent ent, the teacher, Oh, sorry, the teacher said, we are going. To start now. Okay, good. Okay, let's have a look at these three sentences then and now. These are formal sentences that I would like us to make into informal sentences. Sure. Question Yeah mean what is a tent is. Oh that you like that you come to someplace. So if you've been invited to someone when you attend it, you're being present at that wedding or that ceremony or that graduation or that birthday, okay, so it's you going somewhere after you've been invited? Ok. So finished. Okay, let's have a listen to your sentences. So the first sentence I did. Thank you for all your help. So you're saying I would appreciate your assistance here that without saying in a question, they're actually asking for help. So it's the same as saying, could you help me out? Okay, okay, that's the same as that. So if me saying to you, let's say for example, I say, Brian, can you help me lift this box and I would say appreciate your assistance meaning can you are helping me out and so you are able to help me out and that's why I thank you for your help. Okay? So could you help me out? Would be the same as I would I would and that's the key bit. I would appreciate your assistance, meaning asking. I would appreciate your help. Ok. Ok. What did you write for the second sentence? It's good that you cook, sorry. It's good that you did come. It's so it's you can say it's important, not good. It's essential. Meaning if it's something that is necessary, okay, so it's not it's not the same as saying it's good that you came, but it's saying that it's very important that you need to come to this place. So it's important that you come or you can say it in a different way. Can you? You really need to come. Okay. It's meaning that you really want someone to be there at the place or at the ceremony or at the occasion. So you can say you really need to come. And it's the same as saying it is essential that you attend, okay? Okay. And then what did you write for the third sentence? For the third sentence I wrote. Hopefully sinin. I'm I don't know if I wrote okay, so let me tell me what the sentence is and then we'll decide if it's right. I glad that again, here for me, I'm glad I can slightly so it's a bit of a mix because I'm saying I am glad because uare writing I am instead of I'm glad can still be seen as formal and glad is still a formal way. So you'll think about it as if you're imagine this, I look forward to hearing from you is what I would finish off an email. So if I say, could you help me on this matter or could you let me know when the date of the interview is? I look forward to hearing from you, okay? It's the same as saying if I was speaking to a friend saying, can't wait. To hear back from you. Do you see how that becomes informal? Because instead of cannot, we've used kand, then can't wait is is more of an informal expression. It's how you would be speaking to if you were excited to see a friend rather than a professional. Okay. So can't wait to hear back from you. And especially the exclamation mark at the end is also showing an exciting tone being informal. Okay. So just jot down what the sentences were instead and then we'll move on to the last little bit of for today. Okay. I'm also going to write the definition for A D, okay? So just written what meaning of a ten means as well to go somewhere after being invited. So for example, birthday or even parents evening. Let me know any person to them down, okay? Yeah so this is the last thing that we're going to go through today Brian so it's I would like you to rewrite the same paragraph twice so the paragraph is hold on I'm gonna to highlight it. I can't come to the club today because I've got loads of homework I'll see if I can finish it quickly okay so that is the sentence and I'd like you to write in two different ways. Firstly to write a formal version, which I can help you with. And then the second one is to write an informal version, so even more casual tone. Okay, so let's do the first task first and see how much we get along with. And then if we've got time, we'll do the second one as well. Okay, so can you write a formal version of this sentence, please? Let me know when you've written sentence alone. Yes. Finish, I do the first question. Okay, can you read out what your sentence will be? 你我关了你就。I cannot attend to the club today because I have got a lot of homework. I will see if I can finish it quickly. So I cannot attend to the club today as I so I'm going to today hold on today I think today because and I'm going to stop you there where I'm going to change a bit of the sentence. Okay, so instead of saying because I've got loads of homework that's still informal, okay, so you can say because I have a large amount. Of homework and what was the last part of your sentence number? I will see if I can't finish it quickly. Yeah that that would be right but quickly would be in is an informal word. Okay. So we would have to change that. So my suggestion would be I we'll see if I can complete it. So you can say, so rc needs to change, if I can needs to change, but I guess we can really leave it as a quickly. So I will see if I can complete it. I complete it as quickly as possible. Okay, so that way we've changed I can't come is also informal. We've a client cannot attend is a good, good sentence. I cannot not attend to the club today because I have and the ones that have changed a large amount of homework I will see if I can complete and I think I see if I can quickly is also fine. I've just added complete it as quickly as possible. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah, so we can have a way. So I'll show you how to do the second one, write in an informal version and make it even more casual. So obviously, the sentence is very casual already. You can say instead, I can't make it. To the club. Today. I've got lots of own work. Try. To get it done. Now you can say two words. You can get it done asap, which means as soon as possible, or you can use the word fast. Do you see how that becomes even more casual? Because you've said not, I can't come to though. It's just I can't make it to the club today comma. So you've got rid of today because because I've I've instead of, I have got lots of homework I'll instead of I will try so I'll try to get it done asap as soon as possible or get it done fast. All right, but Brian, I've already uploaded your homework. So there's five tasks on there on formal and informal language. So we'll go through at the start of next lesson, go through a quick recap. I think we'll practice a little bit more of informal to formal and then we'll start a new topic as well. Okay. All right, I'll speak to you later then, Brian. Take care.
