Article Writing

Article Writing Format: Suppose you have some opinions regarding a topic and you
want to tell people about it. How will you do so? You can tell the opinions to persons
near you. But what if you want to tell not only those people but, say, the world? How will
you do so? You will write those opinions, isn’t it?

Articles

An article is a piece of writing written for a large audience. The main motive
behind writing an article is that it should be published in either newspapers or
magazines or journals so as to make some difference to the world.

It may be the topics of interest of the writer or it may be related to some current
issues. The topic can either be serious or not-so-serious. Same goes for its tone and
language.
