When is it appropriate to use informal ways to convey emotions or meanings?? 

It is appropriate to use informal ways of conveying emotions when we talk with our friends and families. It is also appropriate situations that are more relaxed and that involve people that you know well or know each other well. We can also convey emotions or meanings in:
