Get Real Formal and Informal Language

We use Formal and Informal Language in our speaking and writing all the time. The language of the BBC news is not the same as the language used in the "Shortland Street� TV show. When you write your Cover Letter for the job application, you tend to be formal as opposed to what you post on Facebook. Why do we do this? In this lesson you will hear all about the what, why and when of Formal and Informal language.
