     3. Informal to Formal Writing

            Informal:

I just watched an episode about National Geographic Channel’s Doomsday Preppers. Kellene Bishop and her husband Scott Bishop were prepping for a financial collapse in America, which they believe would result to the END OF THE WORLD. This economic crisis is not only happening in America but also to some other richest countries as well. You won’t believe that this couple is actually studying and practicing Tagalog as their means of communication. Believing that comes worst scenario, Kellene &  Scott can still communicate without others knowing what they’re really up to. At night, they would practice clearing their house with firearms not making sound. They are doing this again and again to master every part of the house in preparations at time emergency happen. They use “morse code” to give messages to each other when needed. They believe that when people get starving, they will start getting what you have for them to survive.  

            Formal:

One of the episodes of Doomsday Preppers in National Geographic Channel featured Kellene and Scott Bishop who are preparing for financial collapse in America; professing this would result to End of the World.  The economic crisis seems to be a serious problem not only in America but also in some  other riches countries. Having another language aside from English is important for the couple; to make discreet conversations when needed.  In preparations for possible intruders, one must know how to defend oneself and to secure all the belongings significant in the worst scenario. Believing once a person is starving, stealing is the only option.
