One way my writing changed and why it mattered
- Change: Level of formality/tone. With a friend I used a casual, brief tone and shorthand; with a teacher I used full sentences, polite phrasing, and offered to make up work. Why it mattered: matching formality to the audience shows respect and gives the teacher the clear information they need (date, reason, willingness to follow up), while the casual text to a friend is faster and fits the relationship.
