Amazing sir. Thanks for your video
Sir,you are indeed a rare gem. Keep up the good work because I'm enjoying every bit of your training. God bless you.
Thank you very much.
Sir i believe in paragraph 3 the right side is informal because the words underlined should i meant for friends and close relatives . When writing formal you shouldn't abbreviate and the subject and verb agreement should be considered . This is my try . Thank you sir
👏 👏 👏 For Teacher Chris.. Very informative
on the left side is formal because the word phrases like most significant
Left is formal because sentences are structured properly as compared to right side information shared.
Very informative video. Thanks for the help .
You are an amazing teacher! 😍😍
Thanks so much Mr Chris. God bless
Great work. Sir please make video on Cambridge official guide to IELTS. I can't understand that book.
Significant item,, contained, quite sure are formal as compare to laptop was in there, 100% which is usually informal
Right is formal because it is more direct and the left is informal because of the word reckon which is informal
Thank you for your clarification
Excellent class.Thank you💛💙❤️
You're welcome!
right is formal the use of the word inform and removal of justly
Its the choice of words you use that make it formal or informal..
the use of the verb reckon makes it informal

@@Ieltsadvantage sir i mean to say could you make a video on how to fully develop three bullet points in a letter . I dont understand what to write in a three paragraphs exactly even though the bullet points are given in a letter.

Thanks! Helps a lot.
That's great to hear! You're very welcome.
Right because the words are written in full and not short form unlike the informal one.
The one on the left is informal due to the grammar, and abbreviations
i think in formal its better to used the word misplaced instead of lost
Sir amazing!! Can u also tell about semi formal letters and difference between formal and semi formal letter

Thanks for making this simpler, just formal & informal.
Can you please tell me is it okay to use mix of British and American spellings ?
As when I checked I realised that due to exposure to both types some I know are British and some are American.
I would recommend sticking to one.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Is there any guidance available regarding this on your website ?
Can we really use contraction in the writing session?
Informal is because, the points are direct and not used with words that are a bit advance example instead of traveling it mentioned on the way.
right is in formal as v use silly me informal language
Thank you so much sir it was very helpful

Help me please with the use of would.
I have learned so far that would is used in past,unreal conditional situations, request and repeated actions in past..then how is it used here
Many would argue that........
I am hoping that you would take actions to improve the quality of your services.
Please Chris guide me.
Thank you. very helpful :)
You're welcome!
Teacher Chris, Will the examiner cue us after 20 minutes in task 1? Or should we just write and finish as quickly as possible?. I ask because on the reminders that the British Council gave, it says not to wear a watch.
Do not write and finish as quickly as possible - there will be a clock on the wall during your exam, you should use this to manage your time as wisely as you can.
when u say letter to a friend is always informal, that includes family members, right?
Yes, that's right!
One is with contraction again, informal. Formal is more.polite tone like "may"
Amaaaazing how I can get writing realted material sir please could you help me?

Informal.
Sir ,pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee make a video on semi formal letter. Even the official cambridge book states that there is semi formal as a type of letter,however they haven't covered much of it.so neeeeeeeeeeeed a video from you. Thanks.
You'll find our guide to semi-formal letter writing on our website: www.ieltsadvantage.com/2017/08/09/ielts-general-writing/
Right one is informal bcz it got a phrase and explanation mark .
On my way is different than while traveling
Hi Chris ...what i think is a formal letter is written 'to the point', with limited justification and one can certainly express little more with ease in an informal letter. Am i right?
You'll find help with this topic on my website: www.ieltsadvantage.com/2015/06/07/ielts-letter-writing-tips/
As you are using monitors why don't you use typed words. Handwriting is very difficult to see here and please don't make things complicated.
Left is informal because of the contraction used.
How about factual v emotional?
i reckon and lost on my way both are informal words
Great tips and explanation. Which english vocabulary american or british should we use on writing?
I mean because of the verb travel written in a sentence, on gerund form in british double L but in american doesn't.
It doesn't matter but remember to stay consistent.
Thanks sir
right informal for second point
Right one is formal .
Thanks
thanks for the vedio

I lost it while traveling is formal because you are making your boss to understand
We want to read more formal and informal model letters. But how can we get the sample letters?
Hi there, here is a link to some sample letters:
www.ieltsadvantage.com/2019/09/17/writing-task-1-sample-letters/
Let me know if this helps!
Well noted. Thks
You're welcome!
Right is informal and left is formal one.
Is it mandatory to use contraction in all possible places for informal letters?
If it's recommended , then how would one make a difference between " I would " and " I had" as both are written as I'd .
Will it reduce my score as the examiner might get confused ?
Is it okay to use contraction only at places where there is zero probability of getting confused and write full words at critical places?
It is a good idea to use contractions like ‘I’ve’, ‘I’d’ and ‘I’m’. This is one of the ways that you can show the examiner that you know how to write an informal letter. However, don't sacrifice your ability to communicate clearly by using too many contractions.
@@Ieltsadvantage Thanks :-)
