NOTICE WRITING

A notice is a formal means of communication. The purpose of a notice is to announce

or display information to a specific group of people. Notices are generally meant to

be pinned up on specific display boards whether in schools or in public places. Notices

issued by the government appear in newspapers.

Format:

A notice should be written in the following format:

• the name of the organisation issuing the notice

• the title ‘NOTICE’

• a heading to introduce the subject of the notice

• the date

• the body of the notice

• the writer’s signature, name (in block letters) and designation

Name of organisation/office issuing the notice

Date Notice

Heading

Body of letter

Signature

Name

Designation

Points to remember:

• A well-written notice must inform the readers about the 5 Ws:

— What is going to happen, (that is, the event)

— Where it will take place

— When it will take place (that is, the date and time)
— Who can apply or is eligible for it

— Whom to contact or apply to (that is, the issuing authority)

• Only the most important points should be written.

• A.O.D. – that is, any other detail given in the question.

• One is free to add any relevant information not included in the question.

• The sentences should be short and grammatically accurate.

• They should be in the passive voice as far as possible.

• The notice should be presented within a box.

• The word limit for a notice is 40–50 words (only the words in the body of

the notice are counted).

• Information given in a notice must be clear and should not cause any

misunderstanding or confusion.

• A notice must be catchy and appealing – it should attract the reader’s

attention at once.

• Increase the visual appeal of your notice by using bold letters, catchy slogans,

striking words and phrases, etc.

• Standard abbreviations are allowed.

Paragraph
Paragraphs are the building blocks of a paper. A paragraph discusses one idea in detail and aids the
development of an overall topic for the essay. Paragraph lengths will vary depending on the purpose of
the paragraph.

PARTS OF A PARAGRAPH

The basic paragraph consists of three parts: a topic sentence, supporting details, and a concluding
sentence. This basic paragraph format will help you to write and organize a paragraph and make each
paragraph lead to the next.

TOPIC SENTENCE

The main idea of each paragraph is stated in a topic sentence that shows how the idea relates to the
thesis or overall focus of the paper. Generally, the topic sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph. All
subsequent points made in the paragraphs should support the topic sentence.

SUPPORTING DETAILS

Supporting details elaborate upon and prove the topic sentence. Supporting details should be drawn
from a variety of sources and based on research, experiences, etc. plus the writer's own analysis. Using a
combination of different supports is the most common and effective way to strengthen a paragraph. The
following are common ways to provide supporting details:

Expert Opinion

Facts and Statistics

Personal Experience

4 Others' Experiences

Research Studies

Brief Stories

Journal Entries

Personal Analysis

Interviews

Metaphors

CONCLUDING SENTENCE

Each paragraph should end with a final statement that ties together the ideas brought up in the
paragraph and emphasizes the main idea one last time. If the assignment is longer, it should transition to
the ideas of the next paragraph.

Report Writing
What is a report?

In technical terms, the definition of a report is pretty vague: any account, spoken or written, of the
matters concerning a particular topic. This could refer to anything from a courtroom testimony to a grade
schooler’s book report.

What kind of information is shared in reports? Although all facts are welcome, reports, in particular, tend
to feature these types of content:
Details of an event or situation

The consequences or ongoing effect of an event or situation

Evaluation of statistical data or analytics

Interpretations from the information in the report

Predictions or recommendations based on the information in the report

How the information relates to other events or reports

Types of reports

There are a few different types of reports, depending on the purpose and to whom you present your
report. Here’s a quick list of the common types of reports:

Academic report: Tests a student’s comprehension of the subject matter, such as book reports, reports
on historical events, and biographies

Business reports: Identifies information useful in business strategy, such as marketing reports, internal
memos, SWOT analysis, and feasibility reports

Scientific reports: Shares research findings, such as research papers and case studies, typically in science
journals

What is the structure of a report?

The structure of a report depends on the type of report and the requirements of the assignment. While
reports can use their own unique structure, most follow this basic template:

Executive summary: Just like an abstract in an academic paper, an executive summary is a standalone
section that summarizes the findings in your report so readers know what to expect. These are mostly
for official reports and less so for school reports.

Introduction: Setting up the body of the report, your introduction explains the overall topic that you’re
about to discuss, with your thesis statement and any need-to-know background information before you
get into your own findings.

Body: The body of the report explains all your major discoveries, broken up into headings and
subheadings. The body makes up the majority of the entire report; whereas the introduction and
conclusion are just a few paragraphs each, the body can go on for pages.

Conclusion: The conclusion is where you bring together all the information in your report and come to a
definitive interpretation or judgment. This is usually where the author inputs their own personal
opinions or inferences.
