Use formal and informal expects to read in terms of the genre (e.g. email, story), text format (e.g. beginning and end) and content (e.g. thriller
registers appropriate to the story, invitation).
target audience in most
familiar situations Pupils are expected to write about familiar situations (e.g. holiday, reply to invitation) and address an audience they are
already familiar with (family, friends, teachers).

should use their own judgement here.
