When you’re assessing your audience, look for any similarities in personal
backgrounds. For example, what is the average age of audience members?
Consider whether they will be familiar with the concepts you plan to speak about,
and the sort of life experiences they may have had. Next, think about the education
level of your audience. This will have a significant influence on the content of your
talk or document, including its central themes and the vocabulary you employ.

3. Art 2. Organizing your writing
Good business writing is simple, clear, and concise. By not calling attention to itself,
good writing is “transparent,” helping the reader focus on the idea you are trying to
communicate rather than on the words that you are using to describe it. The key to
good business writing is organization. You need to know where you are going before
you start, so do your research and identify the key issues you need to cover.
Compose a list of the most important points, and use them to create an outline

news and information about something happening in any parts of the world which
