Informal speech
Informal speech takes place in everyday, colloquial contexts and
with people close to us. It could be with our family, friends and
classmates. For example:
 Hello Maria.
 Hi Evelyn.
 How's it going?
 Nice to see you Maria
Formal speech
We don't use formal speech on a daily basis, it is used in
situations that are more serious and formal, where speakers have
a distant relationship. It could be: doctor-patient, boss-employee.
 Good morning, Doctor Bryan
 Good morning, James
 How are you?
 I'm great, thank you
