Giving Announcement (Listening)

GIVING ANNOUNCEMENT

People write announcements for many reasons. Just some types of announcements that people write include public service announcements, school announcements, engagement announcements, marriage and wedding announcements, moving announcements, job and promotion announcements, and many more.

By writing an announcement, you will inform people about some news. Here are some tips on how to write an announcement: 

1. Be direct and concise in your announcement.  Your reader will be able to understand the information quickly and can refer back to it easily.
2. Write a short, friendly announcement that's to the point when you're sharing positive news.  Written in the right tone, an announcement can show a wish to keep up a business or personal relationship.  It can also build on positive feelings like confidence, allegiance, and helpfulness.
3. Recognize what others have achieved in your announcement, and motivate your reader to reach similar goals.
4. Present your information in a plain and complete way so your reader will understand you the first time (and not ask questions later).
5. If the news you are announcing is bad, write it in a direct statement.  Add a message of understanding and optimism to your announcement, in a respectful tone.
