22.1 WRITING FORMAL AND INFORMAL EMAILS
Objective:
To learn how to write clear, effective emails in both formal and informal registers, focusing on appropriate structure, tone, and vocabulary for real-world situations.

Emails are one of the most common forms of written communication. At B2 level, you're expected to:
•    Recognize the difference between formal and informal styles
•    Write emails that are polite, structured, and fit the situation
•    Use the right openings, closings, and tone

🧱 BASIC EMAIL STRUCTURE
Whether formal or informal, most emails follow this structure:
1.    Greeting
2.    Opening line (reason for writing)
3.    Main content (1–2 paragraphs)
4.    Closing line (summary or next step)
5.    Sign-off

🧑‍💼 FORMAL EMAILS (WORK, APPLICATIONS, REQUESTS)
Section    Example
Greeting    Dear Mr. Smith, / To whom it may concern,
Opening    I am writing to enquire about… / I would like to request…
Body    Use full sentences, passive voice, no contractions
Closing    Thank you for your time. / I look forward to your response.
Sign-off    Yours sincerely, / Best regards,
✅ Use formal vocabulary: inform, confirm, attend, request, provide

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 INFORMAL EMAILS (FRIENDS, FAMILY, COLLEAGUES)
Section    Example
Greeting    Hi Emma, / Hey!
Opening    Just wanted to say hi. / How are you doing?
Body    Use contractions and casual phrases: can’t wait, let me know
Closing    Talk soon! / Take care!
Sign-off    Best, / Cheers, / Love,
✅ Use informal language: get back to me, hang out, catch up

🔄 COMPARISON OF FORMAL VS. INFORMAL
Idea    Formal    Informal
Ask for help    I would appreciate your assistance.    Can you give me a hand?
Make a suggestion    I would like to propose…    How about we…?
Say thank you    Thank you for your attention.    Thanks a lot!

⚠ COMMON MISTAKES
Mistake    Correction    Why?
Hi Sir,    Dear Sir or Madam,    "Hi" is too casual for formal email
I want to know if you can help.    I am writing to enquire whether you could help me.    Too direct—needs polite tone
Yours, Peter    Yours sincerely, or Best regards,    Sign-off should match register

✍ PRACTICE PROMPT 1: FORMAL EMAIL
Context: You want to ask for information about a course.
Write an email to the course director. Use formal style.

Specifically, I would like to know the course schedule, fees, and whether any materials are included.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Laura Gómez

22.2 DESCRIPTIVE WRITING: PEOPLE, PLACES, SITUATIONS
Objective:
To learn how to write vivid, well-structured descriptions of people, places, and situations, using appropriate vocabulary, sensory details, and descriptive devices to engage the reader.

Effective descriptions:
•    Create a clear mental image
•    Use the five senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste)
•    Include adjectives, adverbs, and precise verbs
•    Maintain logical order (e.g. from general to specific, or top to bottom)
•    Match the tone to the purpose (neutral, nostalgic, dramatic, etc.)

👥 DESCRIBING PEOPLE
Focus on:
•    Physical appearance: height, build, facial features, clothing
•    Personality traits: friendly, shy, talkative, ambitious
•    Habits or behavior: the way they walk, talk, or interact
Example:
Maria is a tall, slender woman in her early forties, with dark eyes and a warm smile. She always speaks gently and listens more than she talks, making everyone feel at ease around her.

📍 DESCRIBING PLACES
Focus on:
•    Location, atmosphere, and purpose
•    Surroundings and landmarks
•    Mood (peaceful, lively, eerie, etc.)
Example:
The café was tucked away on a quiet corner, filled with the scent of fresh coffee and the soft murmur of conversation. Wooden beams, mismatched chairs, and hanging plants gave it a cozy, lived-in charm.

📅 DESCRIBING SITUATIONS
Focus on:
•    What is happening and who is involved
•    The atmosphere or emotion
•    Any background or relevant details
Example:
The moment the final whistle blew, the stadium erupted in cheers. Fans hugged, players fell to their knees, and confetti rained down as the team celebrated their long-awaited victory.

⚠ COMMON MISTAKES
Mistake    Correction    Why?

•    A clear conclusion

22.5 COMMON CONNECTORS AND PARAGRAPH STRUCTURE
Objective:
To learn how to use linking words and phrases (connectors) to create clear, organized, and logical paragraphs in written English.

🧱 WHY ARE CONNECTORS IMPORTANT?
At B2 level, connectors help you:
•    Link ideas logically
•    Show relationships (cause/effect, contrast, sequence)
•    Improve the flow and cohesion of your writing
•    Make your arguments and opinions more convincing

🔗 COMMON CONNECTORS BY FUNCTION
➕ ADDING IDEAS
Connector    Example
and    He plays the guitar and sings.
also    She also volunteers at a shelter.
in addition / moreover / furthermore    In addition, exercise helps reduce stress.
not only… but also    Not only is it fun, but it’s also educational.

🔁 SEQUENCING AND ORGANIZING
Connector    Example
first / firstly    Firstly, we need to plan ahead.
then / next    Next, I’d like to look at the data.
finally / in conclusion    Finally, we can start the campaign.

📌 GIVING EXAMPLES
Connector    Example
for example / for instance    Many people enjoy outdoor activities. For example, hiking is very popular.

🔄 SHOWING CONTRAST
Connector    Example

🎯 SHOWING CAUSE AND EFFECT
Connector    Example
because / since / as    She left because she was tired.
so / therefore / as a result / thus    The team worked hard. As a result, they won the game.

🧱 HOW TO BUILD A PARAGRAPH USING CONNECTORS

Example → Add detail or illustration
Link or summary → Connect or close
Example:
Learning English online has many advantages. Firstly, it offers flexibility in terms of time and place. For example, students can study whenever they want, even while travelling. In addition, online platforms often provide interactive materials. Therefore, many people prefer online learning over traditional classes.

⚠ COMMON MISTAKES
Mistake    Correction    Why?
She studies hard. Because she wants to pass.    She studies hard because she wants to pass.    “Because” clause must be part of the same sentence
Also he is friendly.    He is also friendly.    “Also” usually goes after the subject
Although it was late. We kept talking.    Although it was late, we kept talking.    Connector must link both clauses directly

✍ PRACTICE TASK
Write a paragraph (5–6 sentences) on one of the topics:
•    Why is reading important?
•    Is it better to work alone or in a team?
Use at least:
•    1 connector to add information

22.6 POLITENESS AND REGISTER IN WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
Objective:
To understand how to adapt the level of formality (register) and use polite language appropriately in written English, depending on the context, purpose, and audience.

🧠 WHAT IS REGISTER?
Register refers to how formal or informal your language is. It depends on:
•    Who you’re writing to (friend, manager, stranger)
•    What the purpose is (complain, inform, invite, apologize)
•    Where the message appears (email, report, blog post, etc.)
At B2 level, you should be able to adjust your register based on the situation.

🔄 COMPARING FORMAL VS. INFORMAL REGISTER
Function    Informal    Formal
Greeting    Hi Sarah,    Dear Ms. Collins,
Asking    Can you send me the file?    Could you please send me the file?
Apologizing    Sorry I’m late.    I apologize for the delay.
Suggesting    How about meeting later?    I would like to suggest that we meet later.
Ending    See you soon!    I look forward to hearing from you.
✅ Informal = conversational, relaxed
✅ Formal = polite, structured, often passive

✉ WHERE REGISTER MATTERS MOST
Situation    Register
Email to a friend    Informal
Email to a customer    Formal
Complaint letter    Formal
Group chat or comment    Informal
Job application    Formal
Project update to manager    Semi-formal
✅ Always match tone and phrasing to the recipient.

🙇♀ POLITENESS STRATEGIES
Use modal verbs, indirect forms, and softeners to sound respectful:
Goal    Polite Version
Ask    Would you mind…? / Could you possibly…?
Request action    I was wondering if you could…
Apologize    I’m sorry for the inconvenience.
Reject or disagree    I’m afraid that’s not possible.
Soften tone    Perhaps… / It seems that… / I believe that…
✅ Avoid using “must”, “need” or “do this” in formal writing—it sounds too direct.

✍ PRACTICE TASK
Context: Write two versions of a short message requesting a meeting:
•    To your friend
•    To a company manager
Compare tone, vocabulary, and structure.

💬 SAMPLE FORMAL VERSION
Subject: Request for a Meeting

I look forward to your reply.
Best regards,

This film tells the story of a man who escapes his boring daily routine through wild daydreams—until he begins a real adventure across the globe.
The visuals are absolutely stunning, with scenes filmed in Iceland and the Himalayas. The soundtrack also adds emotional depth to the journey.
Some viewers might find the story predictable, but the inspiring message and beautiful imagery make it worth watching.
