Welcome!
Hi and welcome to English with Mr. Woldeamanuel
To pass your English exam, you have to complete different English skills such as listening, reading, speaking & writing. And as the title has already been given away, we will train your writing skills in this arrangement.
After reading the explanations and analysing the instruction video, you'll be able to:
- Write an e-mail.
- Fill in an application form.
- Write a blog.
- Write a postcard.
- Write a formal letter.
- Write an informal letter.
And are you familiar with which type of language is suitable for the different parts.
Let's get started!

Introduction

Indicate whether the word is associated with the correct synonym (one is for formal writing, the other for informal).
Yellow = Informal / Blue = Formal
