Subject Teacher (English), Bhogeswar Hazarika Girls' Higher Secondary School, Bebejia, Nagaon, Assam.
A notice is generally a written or printed statement which is official, institutional, informative and it is sometimes indicative of a warning in special circumstance. It is used to convey message or information to the public in general or to a special class of people.
Notice serves the purpose of spreading information on various issues or occasions. The language of a notice should be simple, straightforward, formal, brief and to the point. Newspapers, magazines and the notice board of an institution are some of the most widely used tools for displaying notices.
Points to remember while drafting a notice:
1. It should preferably be written in a box.
2. Dates should be mentioned either at the extreme bottom (left) or at the extreme top (left).
3. The title of a notice should have a meaningful phrase instead of a complete sentence.
4. It should always have the name, the designation and the signature of the authority issuing the notice. However during examination, the name and address of the authority should be written only if these are mentioned in the question. Otherwise letters (ABC,PQR..etc.) should be written in the place of name and address.]
