Text Type Char­ac­ter­ist­ics

1
Match the sets of char­ac­ter­ist­ics with the cor­rect text type (blog post, news art­icle, per­sonal e-​mail or formal e-​mail).



  • po­lite and pro­fes­sional tone.

  • struc­tured with a clear sub­ject line, greet­ing, body, and clos­ing.

  • uses formal lan­guage and full sen­tences.

  • may in­clude a re­quest or provide de­tailed in­form­a­tion.

  • often ends with Best re­gards, or Yours sin­cerely.



  • in­formal, con­ver­sa­tional tone.

  • first-​person per­spect­ive is com­mon.

  • often in­cludes per­sonal an­ec­dotes or opin­ions.

  • may ad­dress the reader dir­ectly (e.g., Have you ever wondered...?).

  • in­cludes hy­per­links or calls to ac­tion (e.g., Check out my latest post).





  • formal and ob­ject­ive tone.

  • fo­cused on facts and in­form­a­tion.

  • in­cludes who, what, when, where, why, and how.

  • struc­tured in short para­graphs and often starts with a head­line.

  • does not dir­ectly ad­dress the reader.



  • cas­ual and con­ver­sa­tional tone.

  • may in­clude ab­bre­vi­ations, emo­jis, or slang.

  • often skips formal struc­ture (e.g., cas­ual greet­ings like Hey! and clos­ings like Cheers).

  • short and to the point.

Identify the text types of the sen­tences.
  • Hey! Are we still on for lunch to­mor­row? Let me know!
  • I am writ­ing to in­quire about the avail­ab­il­ity of con­fer­ence rooms for a meet­ing sched­uled on Feb­ru­ary 15th.
  • The an­nual film fest­ival at­trac­ted over 10,000 vis­it­ors this week­end, mak­ing it the most suc­cess­ful event in its his­tory.
  • Last week­end, I fi­nally tried the new sushi place down­town, and let me tell you, it was a game-​changer!
  • blog post
  • formal e-​mail
  • news art­icle
  • per­sonal e-​mail
