To determine the characteristics of informal writing, let's consider the nature of informal writing and contrast it with formal writing. Here are four common characteristics of informal writing, and you need to select the two correct answers:
1. Conversational tone: Informal writing often uses a conversational style, resembling spoken language rather than formal written language. It may include colloquial expressions, contractions, and a more relaxed tone.
2. Personal pronouns: Informal writing frequently employs personal pronouns like "I," "you," and "we" to engage the reader directly and create a sense of informality.
3. Slang and idioms: Informal writing may incorporate slang words, regional expressions, and idiomatic phrases to create a casual or familiar tone.
4. Contractions: In informal writing, it is common to use contractions (e.g., "can't" instead of "cannot") to mimic the way people speak casually.
Based on these characteristics, you need to select two correct answers.
abbreviated words & contractions
Formal writing would actually include complete and full sentences. Abbreviated words are words that are shorter than the original. An example would be ACE for a cool experience. Contractions are words like he'd or there, they are a shortened version of two words combined. Formal writing wouldn't have these. Formal writing often has a respectful tone to it, as it is usually targeted towards mature audiences. Informal writing wouldn't have proper punctuation because informal writing is more laid back.
