Some of the characteristics of informal writing are given in the "English C" text book on pages 95-98.
It is very important to remember that the same rules and constraints such as paragraphing, structure, spelling and correct grammar apply just as much in informal writing as in more formal forms.
Here are 3 assignments. Please choose one of them and write it NOW.
1. A letter or email to a pen-friend from another country who will be coming to spend the Christmas with you here in Dalecarlia.
You need to give the person some information about what they can expect, what to bring along and some general information about the celebration of Christmas in Sweden.
2. A diary entry for the week-end which has passed where you not only talk about events but also your feelings and expectations for the rest of 2013.
3. You write a lifestyle blog in English about being young in Sweden. Write a blog entry about Swedish youth culture and their attitudes to alcohol and partying.
Use the whole time we have in the lesson (about 40 minutes) and then take some time during the week to complete the assigment.
It should be in my digital mailbox on Friday morning by 8 a.m.
This Friday we will deal with the final part of our writing course- translation.
We shall also revise what we have said during these two weeks and look at the keys to successful writing.
