Thank you, Emma! Such a helpful video. Could you please make a video to finish explaining the steps of answering writing task 1 of IELTS the academic module? I hope you make it soon. Thank you in advance.
Rare
I mean finish explaining what you started in your old video “IELTS – How to get a high score on Task 1 of the IELTS.”
Rare
Agreed. Formal writing always seems too long if compare with informal writing.. :)

Formal writing is a way of communicating in business and academia while an informal writing is a way you can use in a regular conversation in writing such as e-mail, letter to your friends, family, etc.

I had 100. I liked very much this lesson. In English I am very fond of formal language. I hate contractions, abrevation, idioms and of course slangs…
I have great problems with phrasal verbs !
Is it a handicap if I always use formal English when I write or speak ?
I am frightened that people think I am snob !

Now, I know more about formal and informal speaking and writing

Nice lesson!
I need your help. Actually, I’m going to sit the IELTS test (General) soon. As you know, to write a letter and an essay in a formal manners, we require much more appropriate words to cover a particular topic. It is hard to understand for me that how one can just fill his vocabulary with such words within short period of time, as many people suggest that two or three months’ time or even a little over it, is enough to be able to write anything formally. Furthermore, where can I find the list, full of words, that shows the best replacement for informal words we could possibly require?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi!
Great lesson, thanks.
One question. This quiz sentence: Furthermore, we have seen the number of units sold increase dramatically. It says “number of …” not numbers, so I do not understand why not increases. Any help appreciated.
orbert
This is one of the greatest and most informative lessons I’ve watched in EngVid.com. It’ll be “strongly” useful for me :)
Thank u Emma and EngVid.
nomadic61
Hello Orbert,
Yes, The lesson is really great, About your question: The ” Number of units” is Plural, so we can not use “increases”. Hope it helps.
Metti
Based on my test result, I think I can fairly differentiate between informal and formal sentences ! But for sure, I have a lot to do to achieve provisional writing, Particularly so, in grammar and spelling!

In addition, can I reorder the position of ” in the first three quarters in 2013″ an ” of five makers”. Thank you very much for your help! :)

Emma, I have two questions:
1) I am preparing to General test. Do you think I should really worry about Formal Letters or Graphic and Maps? I have read that in General test the Writing often ask an informal or semi-formal letter.
2) According to “www.ieltshelpnow.com/general_training_writing_test_1.html” it’s recommended to start an informal letter with agreements as “Hi there! It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you…”. Isn’t too informal in your opinion? It sounds me such poor vocabulary but I am afraid that the examiner expected read some informal beginning.

Magedhassen
Hi Emma! Thank u for r lesson! Really useful and helpful as you brought up. Nevertheless I’m gonna have to disagree with on one point. U said that the I. Language is a language in which one people have the possibility to relax, but i don’t think so. I think the formal language in English is easier than the informal one, because to dominate and using spontaneously and naturally the i.l. it’s essential to learn about the phrasal verbs and there’re very many phrasal verbs and some ones are used to refer to a same action and i dunno which one have i to use among so many options. So I pick only one phrasal to use but i run across texts in english containing pv that i never before have seen to talk about, and when i look up 1 the meaning is the same one also applied to another action which might be also represented by another phrasal verb. Ex.: hold up and put off: they’ve got practically the same meaning: to delay.
To use the formal language, it’s just necessary memorizing determined expressions and words and and so every1 can use it on.
So, i think that the f. language relaxes mr than the informal 1, cause in the f. lang. there’re not phrasal verbs.
But i’m gonna try to use increasingly the i. lang by studying the slangs and phrasal verbs which are really MANY..
In conclusion, Go on posting more lessons about vocabulary, i enjoy ’em… bye bye God bless ya!

Is this sentence correct or do i have to change anything.
Thank you so much..

Your lesson was very nice .
carlo graziano
Thank you for the lesson. Could you answer some questions, please?
At the first, if I’m writting a formal letter, how can I apply to the person whom I write it? If I write to my friend, I can start with something like “Dear friend!”, but what if I write to my boss, teacher, etc.?
At the second, I wonder if I can use informal language in General IELTS Speaking? I’m pretty sure I will get a higher score for “vocabulary” if I use idioms and phrasal verbs.

Thank you very much. It is very helpful lesson for me.
Thank you, Emma! Such a helpful video. Could you please make a video to finish explaining the steps of answering writing task 1 of IELTS the academic module? I hope you make it soon. Thank you in advance.
I mean finish explaining what you started in your old video “IELTS – How to get a high score on Task 1 of the IELTS.”
Agreed. Formal writing always seems too long if compare with informal writing.. :)
Formal writing is a way of communicating in business and academia while an informal writing is a way you can use in a regular conversation in writing such as e-mail, letter to your friends, family, etc.
thank you, love you
10 out of 10. Very interesting lesson. Thank you Emma
What’s wrong with “very”? Is it so informal?

FANTASTIC LESSON. I NEVER MISS EVEN A SINGLE LESSON OF YOUR IN FACT I WAIT FOR THEM.
I CANNOT TELL THAT HOW MUCH IMPROVEMENT I GOT FROM YOUR LESSONS.I MEAN, I REALLY IMPROVED A LOT.
BUT YOU NEVER GIVE ANY COMMENTS,NEITHER YOU ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I SOME TIMES ASKED QUESTION BUT YOU NEVER REPLAY.
WELL, WISH YOU A VERY-VERY GOOD DAY!
O
I HAVE A QUERY PLEASE DO REPLAY IF YOU READ THIS.
MY QUESTION IS:
1- WHERE DO WE USE ‘WELL’ AND WHY DO WE USE IT?
THANKING YOU!
great lesson!
Thank you,Emma
I had 100. I liked very much this lesson. In English I am very fond of formal language. I hate contractions, abrevation, idioms and of course slangs…
I have great problems with phrasal verbs !
Is it a handicap if I always use formal English when I write or speak ?
I am frightened that people think I am snob !
Now, I know more about formal and informal speaking and writing
Thank you Emma for your excellent lesson
many tks ENGVID (informal)
Excellent, Emma! But how do you (English native speakers) know witch word has a Latin origin?
10/10 ILY
great!!
Emma,you look better with longer hair,just keep that way permanently.
7/10 thanks Emma.
Thank you very much it is a big help for me.
Nice lesson!
I need your help. Actually, I’m going to sit the IELTS test (General) soon. As you know, to write a letter and an essay in a formal manners, we require much more appropriate words to cover a particular topic. It is hard to understand for me that how one can just fill his vocabulary with such words within short period of time, as many people suggest that two or three months’ time or even a little over it, is enough to be able to write anything formally. Furthermore, where can I find the list, full of words, that shows the best replacement for informal words we could possibly require?
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
10/10 Wow
wonderful
i got a 100. thank you so much emma.
I got 10/10 ! Its my first visit to this site :)
I remember that my teacher advised us to not use the word ” televesion ” in writing, because it is old and people start to not use it lately.

Thanks a lot, although it is(informal, but it is away of thankness
Hi!
Great lesson, thanks.
One question. This quiz sentence: Furthermore, we have seen the number of units sold increase dramatically. It says “number of …” not numbers, so I do not understand why not increases. Any help appreciated.
This is one of the greatest and most informative lessons I’ve watched in EngVid.com. It’ll be “strongly” useful for me :)
Thank u Emma and EngVid.
Hello Orbert,
Yes, The lesson is really great, About your question: The ” Number of units” is Plural, so we can not use “increases”. Hope it helps.
Based on my test result, I think I can fairly differentiate between informal and formal sentences ! But for sure, I have a lot to do to achieve provisional writing, Particularly so, in grammar and spelling!
HI …!
It’s my first day in class,
and it seems that I will improve my English here Very Soon .

hello. thank you for your teaches
Dear teacher, I’m taking up Ielts lessons. I’ve read two sentences: ” The graph depicts comparison related to the number of cars sold of five makers over the first three quarters in 2013.” and ” The graph depicts the sales figure relating to the number of cars consumed of five makers in the first three quarters in 2013″; and I don’t know why they use “related to” and “relating to” in those sentences. In addition, can I reorder the position of ” in the first three quarters in 2013″ an ” of five makers”. Thank you very much for your help! :)
Dear Emma,
I just score 10 out of 10.
The way you are teaching its feeling very convenient to me…
Thank you very much for supporting us with such great effort.

thanks ms emma
Hi Emma!
Thank you for this lesson
astoniched lesson, congratulation
thank you very much!!
Thanks i got it. The defference of informal. And formal.. Ye heyy..
Emma, I have two questions:
1) I am preparing to General test. Do you think I should really worry about Formal Letters or Graphic and Maps? I have read that in General test the Writing often ask an informal or semi-formal letter.
2) According to “www.ieltshelpnow.com/general_training_writing_test_1.html” it’s recommended to start an informal letter with agreements as “Hi there! It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you…”. Isn’t too informal in your opinion? It sounds me such poor vocabulary but I am afraid that the examiner expected read some informal beginning.
thank you for lesson , interessting.
could you tell me please what is the diferent between staff and employee – work and job – trip , travel and journey? and some other exemples .
thank you .
y do people never remember Portuguese (it s by far more spoken than Italian) lol, anyway thx for ur lessons
very very very fantastic lesson thank you very mach my dear teacher EMMA.
Thanks a lot Emma. I didn’t know if words like RSVP, ATTN, ASAP were totally used in informal linguage as well as the ‘a lot of”, and I understood it,, so thank you again and Happy New year
Simple and short lesson, nice.
Nice lesson! Thank you EngVid team!
Wow, very good lesson! Thanks
THANK YOU GOOD EXPLANATION
Great lesson Emma. Simple tips but very powerful. It seems you are intelligent in English language. I was expecting some example letter writing at the end of the session. But it is not there. Anyhow nice information about formal and informal letters.

Thanks a lot Emma.
Emma
Thank you for a great lesson. This is wonderful.
nice lesson
You are a good teacher , i liked your method of teaching it was so clear and you did explain everything well. Thank you so much!
Thank you.
Good lesson
Hi Emma! Thank u for r lesson! Really useful and helpful as you brought up. Nevertheless I’m gonna have to disagree with on one point. U said that the I. Language is a language in which one people have the possibility to relax, but i don’t think so. I think the formal language in English is easier than the informal one, because to dominate and using spontaneously and naturally the i.l. it’s essential to learn about the phrasal verbs and there’re very many phrasal verbs and some ones are used to refer to a same action and i dunno which one have i to use among so many options. So I pick only one phrasal to use but i run across texts in english containing pv that i never before have seen to talk about, and when i look up 1 the meaning is the same one also applied to another action which might be also represented by another phrasal verb. Ex.: hold up and put off: they’ve got practically the same meaning: to delay.
To use the formal language, it’s just necessary memorizing determined expressions and words and and so every1 can use it on.
So, i think that the f. language relaxes mr than the informal 1, cause in the f. lang. there’re not phrasal verbs.
But i’m gonna try to use increasingly the i. lang by studying the slangs and phrasal verbs which are really MANY..
In conclusion, Go on posting more lessons about vocabulary, i enjoy ’em… bye bye God bless ya!
It’s a very useful lesson.Thanks a lot.
Thank you Emma.
Very nice lesson. Thank you so much
very nice emma ,
please we need more lesson about how write form litter or mail , an give sample
Thank You, teacher Emma. :)

Just wanted to clear a doubt, It’s not related to this lesson but I was wondering if you could tell me if the below mentioned statement is correct..
Richard was one of the thieves that stole the painting from the gallery, but due to the lack of evidence , he got away with it..
Is this sentence correct or do i have to change anything.
Thank you so much..
Useful lesson
When I speak formal English,I must be very nervous.

Thank you very much for this useful lesson. Would you mind if i asked you a question? As you said, idiom should not be used in formal letters, but I think that it can help me get more marks in essays. Is it right? I look forward to your reply :)
It’s hard part to judge what words is formal, and what words is informal.However, thanks Eamma for your teach, and share a chart about formal and informal.

Thank you, teacher.
Hi Emma, i love your lesson, intersting and easy to understand
Thank you so much Emma .
Your lesson was very nice .
Thank you for the lesson. Could you answer some questions, please?
At the first, if I’m writting a formal letter, how can I apply to the person whom I write it? If I write to my friend, I can start with something like “Dear friend!”, but what if I write to my boss, teacher, etc.?
At the second, I wonder if I can use informal language in General IELTS Speaking? I’m pretty sure I will get a higher score for “vocabulary” if I use idioms and phrasal verbs.
Thank you Emma.On the top of it all ,this lession is preety interesting.
