Informal Language in Persuasive/Imaginative Piece

[reddyace]

Would I loose marks for the use of intentional informal language in, say for a speech?
I'm writing up a speech for my 2nd English SAC i.e. a persuasive piece and my speaker is not an intellectual person so, I was wondering whether my use of informal language would affect my score or not.

I don't think it will, because you have to 'stick to character' when writing a Point of View piece, don't you? Besides, you are using informal language as a way to persuade, so chances are that you won't be marked down. Also, do you have to write a statement of intention? If you do, all you need to do is clarify the reason why you've used informal language

Oh okay, thanks for the clarification. Yes, we would have to do a justification once we finish out pieces.

No worries Good luck with the SAC!
