Here is my texts for this exercise!
Informal text:
Now we have more of the English showleads in stock...now also in more colours, than black & white, than before. Red, light yellow, darkgreen, lightblue, lightgreen, lavender, pink, silvergrey. Price is still 280 sek for all colours. If you're interested I can send the leads by post, just email me and we'll make the arrangements.
Formal text:
In January 2009, the Government submitted a bill to the Riksdag (Swedish Parliment) containing proposals aimed at modernising and clarifying Swedish regulations in the area of health and medical care for animals. The new act will aim to achieve good and safe care and good animal health, and it will also help to fulfil society's requirements for sound animal welfare, good communicable disease control and safe food.
The first text was published in a blogg and the blogger is selling leads for dogs. She uses an informal and a simple language in her blogg. The second text was published in a website with articles regarding guidelines for how Sweden is working with healthcare for animails.
My own text is about a little insekt called tick that I meet yesterday. I think you can see the different ways of discribing the tick and how to get rid of it.
Informal text:
What the hell?? An ugly little bustard is climbing around in my cockers fur, just to find a nice place to bury his head down my babes skin and start sucking for blood! I succeeded to get the creep of Ms body and tried to kill it. Have you ever tried to kill a tick? It's F impossible!!!!That's why they survive on our earth I think, they are small, creepy and has a body like a little stone! Bla,bla...sure...everyone is important, all animals to....but not this one!!! How it ended? Well, I throw the tick in the toilet, hope it cannot swim...
Formal text:
The tick I found yesterday in my English Cocker spaniels fur is a remarkble little animal. The tick is a very small animal that lives under the skin of other animals and suck their blood. If a tick should be found in your's animal's coat, it can be remowed correctly with special tick tweezers. The best is if you find the tick and can remove it before it has been able to bore into the skin and began draw tissue fluids such as blood.
That's all for now and I will see you all next week!

Very nice job Mari!
SvaraRadera"She uses informal and simple language..."
"... guidelines for healthcare for animals in Sweden"?
"My own text is about a little INSECT called tick that I MET yesterday."
Your informal text is great! I hate ticks too.
"bastard"
"I THREW the tick in the toilet" (past tense)
Formal text:
"spaniel's fur" (genitive)
"remarkable"
"in YOUR animal's coat" ("your" - a possessive pronoun - already expresses possession and therefore you do not need the genitive "'s")
"removed"
"... before it has been able to... and begun to draw..." (present perfect, a form of the verb "have" + past participle form of the verb. "Began" is past tense.)
Well done!
