Tips for writing Classified Advertisement for class 12 English Writing skills paper

i.  When you're writing an advertisement, every word counts. Being too vague or wordy will
cause people to skim your advertisement instead of pausing to read it, so the same writing
tenets apply no matter what type of advertisement you're writing.

ii. It should begin with a heading in bold or upper case letters.

iii. The language should be according to the audience we are referring to. For example- If you
want to sell something to the youngsters, the words chosen shall be good enough to attract
them.

iv. Do not use the same descriptive characteristics for every type of advertisement. For
example- In Situation Wanted case, calling for receptionist applications, one must use words
that are indicative of the personality and communication skills you are looking for. On the
other hand, for hiring a tech executive, it is imperative you ask for skills limited to the IT
department.

v. Do not make full sentences. The prescribed limit is 50 words and in order to make your
advertisement loaded with information about the topic, you have to manage your words
carefully.

vi. Always add contact details in the end either in the form of contact no., email id or both.
They are generally given in the question.

vii. Remember, nowhere in the answer are you required to mention your own personal details.

viii. It should always be in a box made with sharpened pencil.

ix. It should be neat and clean with good presentation.

x. Practice a lot of advertisements because, “Practice makes the man (or woman, for that
matter) perfect”  .
