Essay Informal & Formal English
Unit 2: THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
ESSAY: INFORMAL/FORMAL ENGLISH
Here is your goal for this assignment: * Produce writing that illustrates your understanding of formal and informal English
You will be writing two separate paragraphs. The first paragraph, on any subject of your choice, will be written in informal English. Informal English is conversational in tone. There should be no grammatical or spelling errors in this paragraph, so be sure to proofread your work carefully.
The second paragraph will be on the identical subject as the first essay, but use formal English instead. This paragraph will express the same concepts as the first, but the writing style should be smooth and highly polished. Again, proofread carefully anything you write.
INFORMAL ENGLISH
About a month ago I was fired from my job. It was a terrible experience for me. I thought for a moment I was done but I had a funny feeling about what was happening and I thought to myself this could be an opportunity. I have always been a fan of cooking. I used to take cooking lessons when I was a child. I really believed I could make my dream come true and start my own business. I could open a restaurant anyplace I liked. So I dove into the task and tried and do my best. I borrowed the money off of my brother and I started to build my cuisine empire. I found an old house and fixed it to look like a restaurant. I swapped some old furniture for cooking equipment and finally I bought some groceries and started cooking. After a couple of weeks I had stood up for myself and made it in the business.
