There are certain expressions that are used to begin and end an informal email, like Dear … and Best wishes … But emails usually include a few other ‘social phrases’ near the beginning and end. These make the email sound more natural and friendly.

2. Read the Writing Strategy. Then choose three phrases from exercise 1 to complete the email below. (More than one answer is possible.)

  • To: [email protected]

  • How about meeting in town one day soon? I want to try the new café on Market Street because my mum says it’s very good. We can go there after school because / or meet for lunch one Saturday.

8. Read the Strategy. Then rewrite the sentences using more informal language.

Strategy

When we write an email to a friend, we often use informal language, rather than formal language. Informal language includes contractions (I am = I’m), imperatives (Can you tell me … = Tell me …) and informal vocabulary (thank you = thanks).

  • 1)
    Dear Chloe,
  • 2)
    I hope you are well.
  • 3)
    That is all from me.
  • 4)
    Can you call me next week?
  • 5)
    Goodbye for now.
  • 6)
    Can you ask your parents?

9. Write an informal email to a friend. Include the information below.

  • – Thank your friend for his/her email.
  • – Mention an event you’re organising at your school.
  • – Describe the event.
  • – Invite your friend to the event.
  • – An appropriate ending.
