Formal and informal writing

Formal -

It is my opinion that this litter is a health hazard. For example, yesterday a year 4 boy fell over and cut his hand on a broken bottle. The boy in question needed four stitches

Informal -

How are you?. I’ve been dead busy since your last letter. We have to work really hard at school to get ready for our PAT tests.

Today we got to do reading. What we did was see what you should and should not put in a formal and informal writing. What formal means is when having the form or appearance without the spirit and what informal means is when you are having a friendly or relaxed manner. What I have done was take a informal and formal sentences and turn it to examples. What I really like about this task is it shows us what the difference is between informal and formal.
