Скачать или смотреть C2 ACADEMIC Writing: 15 Formal vs. Informal Language Swaps You NEED to Know!

Are you struggling to make your essays and reports sound truly academic? This * lesson is dedicated to **Formal and Informal Language**. Mastering the difference is crucial for C2-level English, ensuring your tone is always appropriate for the context.

We will focus on key areas where students frequently make mistakes in formal writing:

*Phrasal Verbs vs. Single-Word Verbs:* Replacing basic phrasal verbs (*go up, find out, put off*) with their formal, single-word equivalents (*increase, discover, postpone*).
*Contractions and Abbreviations:* Avoiding contractions (*don't, it's*) and abbreviations (*e.g., etc.*) in formal academic texts.
*Informal Nouns and Adjectives:* Swapping common, casual words (*big, great, lots of*) for precise, formal synonyms (*substantial, exceptional, numerous*).
*Formal Discourse Markers:* Using complex linking words and phrases (*Consequently, Furthermore, Nonetheless*) instead of simple conjunctions (*so, and, but*).
