The Informal Letter to a Friend

How would the same car accident be described in over 15 completely different styles of English?

What are the differences in vocabulary, grammar and organisational structure?

How should I change my voice to read each description?

Let's see how English changes in different situations.

Styles presented include:

• formal and informal English,
• news reports,
• an action movie screenplay,
• an Eminem rap, a romantic novel,
• a Shakespeare play,
• a politician making a speech,
• a stand-up comedian,
• Liam Neeson in the film Taken,
• and Luke in an episode of Luke's English Podcast.
