Blogs, Articles and Emails

What are we learning today?

You will learn what makes a blog, an article and an email different.

Explanation

• A blog has a title, an author and a date. It uses "I" and "we". The style is friendly.
• An article has a title, short paragraphs and a FACT box. It uses facts and numbers.
• An email has a greeting, a clear message and a closing. It uses polite requests.

Examples

1. Blog: Posted by Englishboyindubai, Saturday 20 April.
