Do you know the difference between writing for formal occasions and causally chucking down a few lines of text for the fun of it? Which has more rules?
More on this in a minute...
Today in the Tui class, we have been looking at ways to share a little bit of who we are using our blogs. Mr Gunn asked us if we knew the difference between formal and informal. We weren't sure so we compared some photos and tried to see if we could work it out for ourselves. Here are two of the pics:
Which one do you think is formal and which one is casual?
We decided that the one on the left is the formal one and the other casual. Do you agree?
Mr Gunn told us that a blog post about our life is more like the cool dude on the right and our explanation or instructional writing is more formal like the sharply dressed man on the left.
Both are cool and each have a particular time and place.
Audiences are bit like the people at the places where these guys are.
The people at the fancy party where that tuxedo man is would expect him to behave very sensibly and follow the etiquette of that place.
At the beach where the other dude is headed, there are way less rules about what you can do or wear.
Our blog posts this week reflect the more casual relaxed type of writing that enables us to share our opinions about things we like in our lives.
