❌Don’t say…

🔹“I went to the University of Leeds.”
🔹“I entered university when I was 18.”
🔹“I studied in the department of Camel Studies.”

✅Say…

🔹“I went to Leeds Uni.”
🔹“I got into university when I was 18.”
🔹“I did Camel Studies.”

◻️Avoid saying “the University of…” unless it’s a formal situation. Also, you can abbreviate “university” to “uni.” It sounds more friendly!

◻️You don’t “enter” a university (unless you’re walking through the door). Use the phrasal verb “get into,” or simply “start.”

◻️You can say “I studied…” but it’s slightly more natural to say “I did…” It’s more concise.

📝 WRITING
session #n32: FORMAL STYLE

Formal style is characterised by the use of:

⚜️ advanced vocabulary
e.g. I am writing to enquire whether... (not: I want to ask if)

⚜️ formal linking words/phrases
(consequently, however, therefore, for this reason)
e.g. I have worked as a primary school teacher for ten years and therefore have experience working with children.

⚜️ passive voice
e.g. I can be contacted... (not: You can contact me...)

⚜️ polite forms without contractions
e.g. I would be grateful if...
I would appreciate it if you could...
I would like to apply ... (not I'd like to...)

⏸ Colloquial expressions, phrasal verbs, idioms and short forms are not used in formal style.

fed up

📖 tired, sated, or disgusted beyond endurance, annoyed or disgusted by something that you have experienced for too long:

🌾 We've had one delay after another, and I'm starting to feel pretty fed up.

🌾 Fed up with the noise and bustle of the big city, the family decided to try country life

🌾I’m just fed up with his excuses for not getting his work done.
