How often do you call your friends ''colleague'?

Not all colleagues are friends, but many friends can be colleagues.
An ex-colleague whom you write a letter, telling about your current life and .... is definitely your friend. You wrote to him/her a letter making some arrangement! Why would someone do that to see some serious guy? It could be easily concluded that you two were used to hang out.

Yh that was my point
Why would somebody tell a colleague about its personal life ,and it could be a semi formal letter
The guy this was the tricky one , I don’t think , it was clearly a informal letter , I didn’t find anything tricky in this

Le'ts say you're trying to write a letter to your Grandfather.
If he's your boss. It' should be FORMAL. If he's just your grandfather and he's sick -----> Friendly!
So it's not about memorizing words: neighbour boss colleague supervisor....
If you're just a student -------> formal letter-------->Supervisor
If your supervisor is your girlfriend---------> Informal
Your Colleague --------> Can be both: if your relationship is confined to the workplace ----------> Formal
But, if you're going to ask her/him a favour, or want to hang out ---------------> Informal

Hahaha
Grandfather and boss
U r making assumption on ur own mate
Ielts guys are not that stupid

This guy is arguing without any point
He got it wrong ,and he is not accepting it
He could check with any teacher if he wants

As you said we are both right.
Probably we wrote letter with the same tone but call it differently.

Dear Jon!
Dear Anna )
What's wrong with Dear?!
Almost majority of informal letters start with Dear ......
Just google: Informal IELTS letter and you'll find lots of Dear Dear Dear

I have taken ielts multiple times..... have written formal as well informal letters. All of them start with dear ... dear is clearly mentioned in question paper stating... you can start your letter as
Dear......,

The tone needed to be informal only

Dear......,

I wrote ‘hello’

 

[Defender90]

I wrote ‘hello’

In the task was written: begin with Dear..

 

[Mandeep1989]

In the task was written: begin with Dear..

Yh in the exam wrote dear
But usually write hello in informal letters

 

[Defender90]

It depends on what particularly you call informal.
We will see results in 2 weeks and make conclusions

For me listening is always the hardest. I can't train myself write listen and read at the same time
