This document provides guidance on writing formal and informal emails. It discusses the different purposes, audiences, and styles of formal versus informal emails. Some key points include:
- Formal emails are for business or important messages, while informal emails are for friends and family. Formal emails require more accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
- The beginning and endings of formal emails should use salutations like "Dear Sir" while informal emails have no set rules. Formal emails also avoid contractions.
- Emails should have an informative subject line, get to the point quickly, and use formatting like bullets for clarity. Personal information or all capital letters should be avoided.
- Both formal and informal emails should use simple grammar

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. It is important that you use the correct style
when writing an email
Formal
Purpose: Business and important messages
Audience: Business and work colleagues
Style and accuracy: Professional – accurate
spelling, punctuation and grammar
Don’t use slang, exclamation marks or smilies
In formal emails
Informal
Purpose: Informal messages
Audience: Friends and family
Style and accuracy: Friendly- accuracy is less
important
3. It is important that you use the correct style
when writing an email
Formal
Beginning and ending:
start and end appropiately
• Dear Sir
• Dear Madam
• Dear Mr. Brown
• Dear Ms. Lopez (neutral)
• Dear Mrs. Lopes (married)
• To Whom It May Concern
• Dear Dr. Smith
Informal
Beginning and ending:
no rules – your choice
• Hey
• Yo
• Sup or Whassup
• ? (Opening an email with a
question mark)
4. It is important that you use the correct style
when writing an email
Formal
No contractions
We often "contract" or shorten
words in English. For example, we
may say "he's" instead of "he is".
Note that we usually insert an
apostrophe (') in place of the
missing letter or letters in writing.
Informal
Contractions can be used
Here are some example
sentences:
• I haven't seen him. (I have not seen
him.)
• Who's calling? (Who is calling?)
• They're coming. (They are coming.)
5. DOS
• Use an informative subject line,
which says what the email is
about.
• Write the most important
information first.
• Use numbers and bullet points
to
make the message clearer.
DON’TS
• Write ‘hello’ as your subject line.
• Write about irrelevant issues. The
reader will soon hit ‘delete’ if the
email doesn’t get to the point.
• Give personal information that you
don’t want anyone else to know.
(The email could end up in the
wrong hands)
• Use CAPITAL LETTERS to write
whole words as in emails, this is
considered SHOUTING.
6. When writing an email:
DOS
• Use simple grammar. Avoid things
like the passive. (As emails are a
fast means of communication, they
have fewer words and are less
complex than formal letters.)
• Write short sentences.
• Use paragraphs to keep the email
clear and easy to understand
DON’TS
• Use Italics (the reason may be
misunderstood, due to cultural
differences).
• Use exclamation marks.
• Use abbreviations like coz and uni,
as the recipient may not understand
them.
• Use acronyms like BTW for the
same reason.
• Use smileys. They may be
misunderstood and come across as
unprofessional.
7. Opening sentences: how to start an email
• People often start emails with a nicety – a meaningless opening sentence
that poses as an introduction:
‘Dear John, I hope this email finds you well.’
• What a useless comment. First, it says nothing. Second, it’s weirdly formal
when email is, for the most part, an informal means of communication.
• Your opening sentence needs to say much more about you and the reason
for your email.
8. Opening sentences: how to start an email
There are certain questions we ask ourselves every time we start a new
email:
• Why am I writing this email?
• What do I want to tell my recipient?
• What do I want them to do as a result of my email?
9. Opening sentences: how to start an email
Your reader will ask themselves their own set of questions when they open
an email from you:
• Who is this person?
• What are they emailing me about?
• How important is this email to me?
• Do I need to respond?
10. Opening sentences
Reasons for writing your letter or email
• In reply to your letter ... .
• Thank you for your letter of May 14th concerning … .

19. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #1: Be Clear
• You already have the knowledge to start writing clear emails today. All
it takes is using the following:
• Short sentences
• Simple language
• Correct grammar
20. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #2: Make It Brief
• How much does it cost to send two emails instead of one? Nothing.
• So, why write about a bunch of topics in one email? Keep your emails brief by
focusing on only one topic.
• Explain your main reason for writing in the first paragraph. Be specific about
what it is you want.
• “Start by asking yourself what you want the person to do as a result of this
email.”
21. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #3: Write a Strong Subject Line
Seventy-five.
That’s about how many emails business people receive a day.
Imagine your email sitting in a long list of other emails.
You don’t have to even imagine that. Just look at your own inbox.
22. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #3: Write a Strong Subject Line
What makes you want to open an email? Maybe the name of the
person sending it. But if you’re like most people, you’ll open an email
that has a strong subject line.
Your subject line is like a headline in a newspaper. The subject line
needs to attract attention and make someone want to read your
email.
23. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #3: Write a Strong Subject Line
You can write strong headlines by using the “4 U’s” approach.
The 4 U’s of writing headlines are:
• Unique
• Urgent
• Useful
• Ultra-specific (very specific)
Your email subject lines should definitely be useful and ultra-specific.
Apply the other two U’s only when it makes sense to do so.
24. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #4: Be Polite
Would you use exclamation points and all caps in a formal letter? I don’t
think so. But some people think that it’s okay to be overly emotional in
emails. It’s not.
Calm down. To readers, too many exclamation points will seem like yelling.
The same is true for words written in all caps.
Keep your emails polite and formal. Remember, your emails may not be
only for the person you send them to. Someone may press “forward.”
25. Summary > Rules for Writing a Good Email
Rule #5: Create the Right Tone
A good email is clear and brief, but not curt (rudely brief). Use sentence
length, punctuation and polite language to create the right tone.
You also need to use the right language for each part of the email.
Business emails are like letters. They have a format. This includes:
• A salutation (a word or phrase like “Gentlemen,” “Dear Sir,” “Dear
Madam” or “To Whom it May Concern” that is used to begin a letter)
• An opening sentence
• An ending
• A closing sentence
The language you use in each part adds to the email’s clarity and tone.
26. Dear student of English,
I hope this information is helpful to you.
Yours faithfully,
M. van Eijk/MA
