Informal/ personal letter:

Personal letters are written to friends, family, and relatives. We write personal letters to thank, invite, request, reply to another letter, etc. To write a good personal letter, we have to follow the 5 steps given below:

1. Heading: Write the date and your address. 

2. Greeting/Salutation: Say hello to the receiver (e.g., Dear Luna) 

3. Body: Write your message with a description. 

4. Closing: Say goodbye (e.g., Your friend) 

5. Signature: Write/sign your name.

 

Formal/Official letter:

Formal letters are mainly written for official communication. Formal letters are written to request and/or ask for something or to know/collect information. We write formal letters to authorities, seniors, colleagues, etc. There are 7 parts of a formal letter. These are-

1. Date: write the date (e.g., March 28, 2022) 

2. Address of the receivers: Write a complete address (e.g., The Head Teacher) 

3. Subject: Write the reason for writing the letter 

4. Salutation: Address the receiver formally. (e.g., Dear Sir/ Madam) 

5. Body: Write the message clearly using formal language 

6. Closing: End the letter formally (e.g., Best regards) 

7. Signature: Write your name and address

News article:

A news article is a piece of writing that is written to be published in a newspaper or magazine.

If we want to write an article for a newspaper/magazine, we have to keep in mind the following things:

1. Write a short heading (e.g., Stand for humanity) 

2. Write in the first person 

3. Express your point of view 

4. Use paragraphs to make the text clear and easy to understand. 

5. Use other people's thoughts and opinions about the subject 

6. Include facts about what has happened using the 5 Ws: what, where, when, who, why, and how.

15.4 In groups, identify the features of the personal, formal letters and newspaper articles and share them with the class.
