This may not be a satisfactory definition from an academic or technical point of view. Formal speech, or formal language would have different meanings depending on the area and the language in question. In general, though, formal speech is speech that is designed to be intelligible to the general population of speakers of the language, whether or not they live in the same area or country. For example, in the business world, a speaker will want to relate ideas with little or no fear of colloquial or idiomatic meanings clouding the intended meaning. There will be a standard or general vocabulary, grammar and syntax that is understood by the vast majority of speakers, so that information is shared with as little misunderstanding as possible.

How do you use the word joy in a one sentence formal definition?

Well, there are a lot of ways. I suppose it depends on what is meant by "formal definition." For instance, does the word "joy" need to be defined in this definition, or are you just fitting it in as a vocabulary exercise? Can the writer make up his or her own definition, or does it need to come from a dictionary or something more "formal"? Are there certain things that it has to encompass in order to make it "formal" rather than "informal"? Guessing, I would try something like "Joy is the feeling you get when something great happens, or someone you love is near." If, of course, that is what you think joy is. Looking at a dictionary definition might help you to figure out your own formal definition.
