Formal/informal. Being formal or âinformalâ is a matter of tone. Having a formal tone is often required in academic writing. When your professors or instructors say you should make your writing sound more formal, it means that you should not use some words that are used in a casual written or spoken forms of language.
A formal writing style is not necessarily âbetterâ than an informal style, rather each style serves a different purpose and care should be taken in choosing which style to use in each case. Writing for professional purposes is likely to require the formal style, although individual communications can use the informal style once you are familiar with the recipient. Note that emails tend to lend themselves to a less formal style than paper-based communications, but you should still avoid the use of text talk. If in doubt as to how formal your writing should be, it is usually better to err on the side of caution and be formal rather than informal.
