To judge which is the better expression: 1. (To a professor you first meet) □----- Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you here. □----- Good morning ,Mr. Mosley. How are you? ( Too familiar and informal. )

Read the following sentence and find which part you think is informal. I am sorry to say that a lot of your answers to those questions in your homework are not precise, so you must think about them.
The boy was taken to hospital immediately. In addition, the beautiful view of the park is spoiled. I believe that there are a large number of actions you should take to solve this problem. For example, you should purchase additional litter bins and arrange security to prevent people from littering.
It is my hope that you will take my concerns into consideration. I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Jerry Broker
