two:
1. Formal - Example of these news articles, published books, are newspapers,
magazines, advertisements, research works, etc. Formal text- based materials
are created and distributed by established institutions (such as publishing
companies, news agencies, etc.) and go through a rigorous process of editing or
evaluation and are usually governed by censorship of the state.
2. Informal - Examples of these are blogs, personal e-mails, SMS or text
messages, online messengers, social media platforms, etc. They come from
personal opinions or views on different issues, processes, etc.
Text can be as short such as a single sentence or phrase, or they can be as
lengthy as news articles or investigative reporting. No matter how brief or lengthy,
