UNDERSTANDING WRITING STYLE
session* #n8
The writing style you should use depends on the type of composition you are writing, the situation and the intended reader. Therefore, you should not use the same style of writing for every composition. The two main types of writing style are formal and informal. However, not all styles of writing fall under these categories. For example, in a letter to somebody you do not know very well or in an article for a student's magazine, the style used is neither formal nor informal, but a blend of the two, known as semi-formal.
FORMAL STYLE is characterized by:
1- Formal expressions, advanced vocabulary, longer sentences
e.g. Talking everything into consideration, it can be said that the facilities offered are of poor quality.
FORMAL STYLE is characterized by:
2- Formal linking words/phrases (i.e. However, Nevertheless, In addition, Consequently, etc.)
e.g. Mobile phones are extremely useful for people who travel frequently. However, they can be dangerous.
FORMAL STYLE is characterized by:
3- No use of short forms (i.e. I’m, there’s ...)
e.g. I would be grateful if ... (instead of: I'd be grateful if ...)
FORMAL STYLE is characterized by:
4- Impersonal tone, i.e. use of the passive, no description of feelings
e.g. Late this evening, 20-year-old Tim McCormack was pulled to safety after being trapped under debris for more than ten hours.
FORMAL STYLE is characterized by:
5- Factual presentation of the information
e.g. The Town Hall, constructed in the late 1800s, was seriously damaged by fire in 1909.
