Lesson 2
LO: To identify formal vocabulary
Looking at the letter you used yesterday, highlight in yellow, any formal words you can see. You should find at least 5.
E.g. ‘express’
Can you find synonyms for the formal words you have highlighted in yellow? You can use a thesaurus to help you.
E.g. ‘show’
Now write a sentence for each of the formal words you have found (different to the sentences in the letter).
