Informal Letter — Flashcards

Answer

An informal or friendly letter is written to family members and friends. The language is informal and personal, so it feels warm, natural, and suitable for close relations.

Answer

An informal letter has three major subsections: format, body or content, and expression. These parts work together to make the letter complete and effective.

Answer

There are two acceptable formats: Box Type Format and Traditional Format. Only one format should be used in a letter, and the two formats should not be mixed.

Answer

The two formats are separate accepted styles, so mixing them makes the letter untidy and incorrect. A single letter should follow one format clearly from start to finish.

Answer

The sender's address must be written in full. Road and street names should not be abbreviated, so a full form like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Road is correct.

Answer

Abbreviating road or street names makes the address incomplete and incorrect for formal presentation. Full forms are preferred because they are clear and proper.

Answer

The date is written in date-month-year format. Acceptable examples include 25th February 20xx, 25th Feb, 20xx, 25.2.20xx, and 25/2/20xx.

Answer

The date shows when the letter was written, so the reader can place the message in time. It also keeps the letter properly organised and complete.
