Tips and tricks
1. Make sure to use the language that is suitable for the reader.
More complex vocabulary in a message addressed to a child
would lead to ineffectiveness.
2. Stick to the word limit (50 words).
3. Do not add extra information. Message should be short and to-
the-point.
4. Plan before you pen. Just make a list of all the important
points on a rough sheet (last sheet of your answer booklet) so
that you do not forget the relevant points while writing. This also
helps you in maintaining a sequence, which is very important.
5. Make sure you double check for grammatical accuracy and
spellings. They carry marks.
6. Enclose the message within a box using a sharpened pencil.
7. Do not use long sentences in the body of the message.
Indirect or reported speech must be used.
