Essay: Formal/ Informal English
You will be writing two separate
paragraphs. The first paragraph, on any subject of your choice, will be written
in informal English. Informal English is conversational in tone. There
should be no grammatical or spelling errors in this paragraph, so be sure to
proofread your work carefully.
The second paragraph will be on the
identical subject as the first essay, but use formal English instead.
This paragraph will express the same concepts as the first, but the writing
style should be smooth and highly polished. Again, proofread carefully anything
you write.

It was about 9 o'clock in the morning when I
thought that it has been made a mistake. I was fired from my job. I had a funny
feeling about the envelope that I found on my desk that day. I was sure that my
colleagues from the department will stick up for me in the last week. I thought
that it was a good thing to do to do not tell on my friends from my team. But I
was wrong. They weren't there for me. So, I dove into the matter and asked for
an explanation that did not come. After a couple of weeks I had stood up for
myself and made it finding something else, a new job.
2. The time was approximately 9 o'clock in the morning when I thought it has been made a mistake. I was dismissed from my job. I had an odd feeling about the envelope that I found on my desk that day. I was sure that my colleagues from the department will defend me in the last week. I thought that it was a good thing to do to do not betray my friends from my team. But I did wrong. They weren't there for me. So, I dived into the matter and asked for an explanation that did not come. After a couple of weeks I insisted and made it finding something else, a new job.
