Academic Task 1 reports and Task 2 essays use an academic or semi-formal/neutral style. For General Training, Task 1 tone depends on the recipient and purpose; Task 2 uses a semi-formal/neutral style.

For GT letters, compare inviting a close friend with asking a hotel manager about a booking. The relationship and reason for writing change how you address them and make the request. A person's job title alone isn't enough.

For an Academic report, something like 'The number fell sharply' describes the data neutrally. 'The number had a terrible drop' adds a reaction that the chart doesn't need.
