Informal Email 2

Hi Marcos,
How are the things going? I have just received your email. Is it true that we aren't going to take part in the basketball competition? I couldn't be more enraged. I've been working hard for this tournament. It's not fair. My parents have tried to cheer me up, but it hasn't worked out. I think I'll write to the coach. I need him to tell me the reasons why we are getting benched. If I were you, I would do the same.
Anyway, It's getting late. Don't forget to drop me a line when you have time.
Bye for now,
Sergio

Hi Marcos,


Hi, Marcos, Hi, Marcos,

How are the things going?


How are the things going? How are the things going?

you don't need to use "the" when saying "things" - just "How are things going?"

How are the things going? How are things going?

How are the things going? How are things going?

How are the things going? How are things going?

This is a set phrase.

I have just received your email.


I have've just received your email. / I just received your email. I've just received your email. / I just received your email.

In general, using contractions is informal and not using contractions is formal

I have just received your email. I just received your email.

Is it true that we aren't going to take part in the basketball competition?


Is it true that we aren't going to take part join the basketball competition? Is it true that we aren't going to join the basketball competition?

'take part in' is a fairly formal way of saying 'joining', for an informal email 'joining' is fine

I couldn't be more enraged.


I couldn't be more enragedadder. I couldn't be madder.

Again, 'enraged' is not very fitting for an informal email to a friend.

I couldn't be more enragedany angrier. I couldn't be any angrier.

"Enraged" is a bit too formal of a word

I couldn't be more enragedangry. I couldn't be more angry.

We don't really use the word "enrage" in the US.

I've been working hard for this tournament.
