Writing Strategy

When you write an informal email or letter,

* you should avoid formal language.

* you can use contractions (you're, it’s, etc.).

* you sometimes omit words like I, I’m or I've at the start of a sentence (Hope you're well, Got to go now, etc).

1. a piece of formal language. How could you make it informal?

2. three different contractions. Can you find any more places where Ellie could have used contractions?

3. an example of a sentence with words omitted at the start. What exactly has been omitted?


1. The piece of formal language is 'Hope everything is OK with you'. It can be made informal as 'Hope you're doing well'.

2. Three contractions in Ellie's email are:

  • "We've just moved to a new flat nearer the centre of town" (we have)
  • "It’s brillant being so close to the shops" (it is)
  • "Can you go with me?" (you can)

Ellie could have used contractions in other places, such as "I'd" instead of "I would" and "she's" instead of "she is".

3. An example of a sentence with words omitted at the start is 'Got to go now.' Here, the word 'I' has been omitted at the start of the sentence.
