formal include headers and company paper
using formal language (sir, madame, etc) used to send to those you dont know

informal is on the back of a fag packet and the complete opposite - only to people you know

Can you not figure it out?

I'm guessing...

Structured - Set into paragraphs and sub paragraphs. Introduction, body and conclusion.

Unstructured - not set into paragraphs and so on...

Right click on this link and save it.

http://www.edexcel.org.uk/VirtualContent/97232/BF017267_BTEC_FCD_ICT_Practitioners_L2_Issue_3.pdf

The information you need is on page 9 onwards but pay specific attention to page 11 underneath the heading 'Understand the purpose of different document types'

This section lists the specified document types -

Short Formal - Memo, email, letter, order form, invoice, agenda, minutes

Extended Formal - Article, newsletter, report, user guide

Graphical Document - Illustrations, charts, flowcharts, diagrams

Promotional - Advertisement, leaflet, web page

Presentation - PowerPoint slides

Informal Documents - Texting, creative writing

You can also of course add your own if you can justify whatever you say as that information is only guidance to staff and you'll still pass if you can satisfy all the criteria (page 12).

Structured and unstructured is in section 2 on page 11 - basically what others have said - this isn't designed to be difficult to discuss. You might also want to include charts or tables of data in your answer to structured. It is information that you're talking about there not just documents so you need to think bigger than just letters/invoices etc.

For example there is a table posted in this thread - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=419286

Not a document in the traditional sense but still formal, structured information. Also quite a pertinent example if you want to impress your tutor with your knowledge of current affairs

Let me know how you get on.
