Step 5 Summary
1. As one of the most commonly used
practical writing, notices are used to
publicize information. The information
provided may be various: meeting,
football match, a lecture, the opening of a
new supermarket, office removal, and
instructions, regulations in workshops.
2.In general, there are two types of notices:
notices giving full message of
information and notices giving a warning
or an instruction.
Notices may be sent in many different
ways-----posted up on notice board or
bulletin board ， advertised on the
newspaper, or sent as a letter or an e-
mail. So according to the ways they are
released, they usually fall into four forms:
form of poster, form of leaflet,
form of mail and notice as public signs.
1 ） Notices in a form of poster （海报形
式）
Information on when and where a
particular activity is going to take place
will be provided in this form as the
massage conveyed is short and simple. As
notice is put into a poster, it should be:
eye-catching in layout, clear in content,
brief in language.

information and is often used as a way of
promotion. A short form is usually
attached to it. Notice in this form is like
an advertisement. A well-designed one
will attract people to read. When writing
a leaflet notice, one should make it: eye-
pleasing and reader-friendly.
