Choosing a Text Format

What are we learning today?

You will learn that different texts have different formats. You will choose the right format before you write.

Explanation

• A description of a person has a short title. It has sentences about name, age, looks and character.
• A blog post has a greeting, an answer in paragraphs and a closing.
• An email to a friend starts with Hi or Hey. It uses friendly language, short forms and short words like info.
• A friendly email can end with Bye for now!

Examples

1. MY BEST FRIEND is a title for a description.
2. Hey Gunter, is a friendly start for an email.
3. Write back soon. Bye!

Remember!

• Choose the format first. Then write.
• Use friendly language for a friend.
