Explanation:

ABC Apartments

16 Nov, 2017

My dear Sanjay,

It's been a while that we've talked and I would like to take this chance to tell you about my plans to come to Delhi for the Diwali holidays. I hope you will be there too.

And about the celebration, I was thinking maybe, this year, we will make a bit of a change in our ro ut ine. The pollution level is rising higher and our cities have become unbearable, with worse air qua lity . So, I was thinking if you could stop using Ch in es e crac  kers and also even stop burning any cr ack ers.

It's not only for the pollution to o. The animals in the streets are traumat ized, and it also disrupts people who hate loud noi ses. So, instead, you can  make it a safe and friendly Diwali for all, and disturbing no o n e .

I hope you can understand what I'm trying to tell you. Will see you so o n.

Take care.

Your best friend,

Ha rsh it.

discuss how Ha Jin employs casual, informal language in his story “The Bane of the Internet” to make a deeper statement about th
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Ha Jin employs a<em> casual, informal language</em> in his story by<em> writing as if the reader is a person he knows.</em> This allows the reader to become part of the story he is creating. Since the tone is more "personal," the reader feels <u>the author's feelings and statements in the text</u> and gets involved in it.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "The Bane of the Internet," written by Ha Jin<em> (a Chinese)</em>. It centers on the hardships of immigrating to another country and how tedious it is.

Writing may be done in a "formal way" or an "informal way." (I have already discussed the informal type of writing above). A formal type of writing, on the other hand, is impersonal in nature and more subjective than an informal way of writing. It is often used for <em>"academic or business purposes.</em>"
