1.2: Look at the picture below. Then, ask and answer the following questions in pairs:

Can you guess who they are?

Ans: Yes, definitely I can guess.

What do you think is the relationship among them?

Ans: I think they are classmates as well as close friend also.

What do you think they are talking about?

I think they are talking about formal and informal expression. They may discuss the similarities and dissimilarities between formal and informal expression. Formal English expressions are used in formal letters or in situations involving people you do not know very well. The tone is respectful and polite. Informal English expressions are used in everyday conversations and emails exchanged with friends, colleagues or people you know well. The tone is casual and friendly.
