Greeting Match

Greeting Match Worksheet

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students understand the difference between formal and informal salutations. It presents a brief explanation of what a salutation is and how it can vary based on the relationship between the writer and the recipient. The worksheet includes a list of five different salutations, ranging from formal to informal, and asks students to match each one to the appropriate recipient from a selection of images. The task encourages students to carefully consider the context in which each salutation would be used. By doing so, it provides a practical exercise in understanding how language changes based on the audience.

The worksheet teaches students to identify and appropriately use different types of salutations in written communication. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right greeting depending on who the recipient is, whether it’s someone they know well or someone they need to address more formally. Students learn to distinguish between formal and informal settings and how these settings influence the tone of a message. Through matching activities, they practice applying this knowledge in a hands-on way, reinforcing their ability to adapt their language to different social contexts. This skill is crucial for effective communication in both personal and professional interactions.
