NOTICE

Notice is meant to be put up for a number of people to read. It may also be circulated, in which case
it may be called a CIRCULAR. (However, the circular has not been included in the syllabus)

Hence, while writing a NOTICE put yourself in the position of the person receiving it. Is the
information adequate? Have you been able to understand its importance? Then let us construct a
NOTICE point by point:

1.Draw a box. It limits your space and aid in your brevity. Brevity is the soul of wit. So try to be
precise but not at the cost of clarity.

2.Do not write complete sentences, shorten them and do away with conjunctions and articles. Use
punctuation marks instead.

3.First write in rough. Edit it. Then fair it.

4.Other than the information given in the question add at least 3 more points. Chiefly ones that
answer the questions……What? Where? When? How? (much if money) and Whom? (to contact)

5.Write neatly and legibly.

6.Its language should be simple and clear.

7.No ambiguity whatsoever.

8.Sign it off with the date and mention your name and designation.

QUESTIONS:

1.You are the Cultural Secretary of your school – Young Hearts Public School in Aizawl. There will be
an Inter – School Music Competition hosted by another school. Put up a notice asking interested
students to report for an audition.

2.You are Ramliani / Ramliana , a well known photographer. You have taken photographs of the
recent Science Exhibition in the school “Future Foundation” in Aizawl. You would like to sell the
