Part 1: (150 words) Imagine that you are unable to attend complete an assignment because of a family emergency. Write an email to a friend telling him or her about the entire incident and why you will not be able to do your work. Relate the incident in the casual register, using simple words, slang, jargon or dialect—the “insider” language you speak among friends and the type of language McWhorter discusses in the video above. If you speak English as a second language, you might mix your two languages even to the extent of using a few made-up or combination words. Let your sentences be incomplete, your grammar incorrect, your word choice colorful or even mildly offensive. Just make it sound like you might really write this way to your friend. In other words, keep it real.
