- Q2Medium
What kind of language suits a notice?
Show answerHide answer
Answer: Formal, factual and impersonal
Explanation: A notice is an official announcement, so the register is formal and factual, with no personal address to the reader.
Key concepts: Writing: Notice (Class 12 English)
The first question of Section B. A notice is an impersonal official announcement of up to 50 words, carrying 4 marks — Format 1, Content 2, Accuracy of Spelling and Grammar 1. One of two questions is to be answered.
- The marks
- 4 marks: Format 1, Content 2, Accuracy of Spelling and Grammar 1. One out of two questions.
- The word limit
- Up to 50 words. Everything the reader needs must fit inside that, which is why nothing decorative belongs.
- The format, top to bottom
- Name of the school or organisation → the word NOTICE in capitals, centred → date of issue → a short heading naming the subject → the body → the writer's name and designation.
- The five questions
- The 2 content marks are earned by answering WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHO and WHY. Check them off before you stop writing.
- How it ends
- Name and designation only — 'Rohit Verma, Head Boy'. Never 'Yours faithfully' or 'Yours sincerely'; those belong to letters.
- Third person, always
- A notice avoids 'I' and 'you'. Open with 'This is to inform all students of Classes XI and XII that…'.
- Impersonal and factual
- No enthusiasm, no persuasion, no opinion. 'We are all really excited about the amazing trip' is the wrong register entirely.
- Abbreviations
- Standard ones — a.m., p.m., Sr. Sec. — are fine and save words. Text-message spellings such as 'pls' cost the accuracy mark.
- Notices that ask for a response
- If names or entries are wanted, say to WHOM and BY WHEN, or the reader cannot act: 'submit your project title to the Science Teacher, Room 12, by 20 August'.
- Who signs it
- Someone with authority over the matter — Head Boy, Sports Secretary, Secretary of the Literary Club, Principal. For a lost article, the student's own name and class.
- The box
- A notice is usually enclosed in a box so that it stands out on a crowded board. It is a presentation convention; the marks themselves are for format, content and accuracy.
- Where the marks go wrong
- A salutation costs the format mark. A missing date or venue costs content. A spelling slip costs accuracy. Over-length costs time you need elsewhere.
