When writing, it's important to remember the audience and purpose of your writing. For example, if you are writing a business report, a formal style is appropriate. However, if you are writing a personal email, an informal style is more suitable.
To illustrate the difference between formal and informal writing, consider the following examples:
Formal: "The company’s financial performance for the quarter was impressive, with a revenue increase of 20% over the previous quarter."
Informal: "The company’s finances are looking good, we’re up 20% this quarter!"
Remember, effective writing is a skill that can be developed with practice and dedication. Happy writing!
