ICSE Class 10 Comprehension and Composition Revision Notes for Notice Writing

Notice Writing

 

What is a Notice?

A notice is a kind of an advertisement aimed at informing people about some upcoming event or new openings. They may include announcements about extracurricular activities at schools or public events like discount sales or social service camps.

The main purpose of a notice is to grasp the attention of the masses and encourage them to participate in the event described. It should carry all the relevant information so as to avoid any kind of misunderstanding in the minds of the readers. 

Format of a Notice

 Tips for Writing a Notice

  • The heading should be self-explanatory and crisp at the same time.
  • Ensure that basic information like contact details and the detail of the event are listed accurately.
  • The sentences in the body should be short and easy to understand. They should be easy to absorb in the passing.
  • Suitable decorative templates could be used to grasp the attention of the readers; however, these templates should not be allowed to interfere with the content of the notice.
  • Hard and fast grammatical rules do not apply to notices. You could use capital letters in the middle of sentences to highlight words. Underlining and use of short phrases are also accepted.
  • Attempt to make the reader feel involved by using personal pronouns like you, your and us.
