ARTICLE WRITING

An article is a piece of writing which explicates ideas, thoughts, facts, suggestions


and/or recommendations based on a particular topic. There are different kinds of
articles, namely:

 Expository article – The most common type of article which allows the writer to put out
information on any particular topic without the influence of their opinions.
 Argumentative article – An article in which an author poses a problem or an issue,
renders a solution to the proposed problem and provides arguments to justify why their
suggestions/solutions are good.
 Narrative article – An article in which the author has to narrate mostly in the form of a
story.
 Descriptive article – An article written with the aim of providing a vivid description that
would allow the readers to visualise whatever is being described. Using the
right adjectives/adjective phrases is what will help you write a descriptive article.
 Persuasive article – An article aimed at persuading or convincing the readers to accept
an idea or a point of view.

Steps to Write an article


To be able to write an effective article, one must follow the correct
format and the following steps given below.

1. To begin with writing an article, one should be very clear of the


ideology that needs to be followed throughout. It is also important
to give an apt TITLE/HEADING to the article. The title can be given
after completing the body of the article, to deliver justice to the
content.
2. Next comes the name of the writer (you, in this case). It should be
mentioned just below the heading.
3. The most complex part of the article is the establishment of the
context. It should be descriptive of the viewpoints of the writer.
The direction of the article needs to be maintained throughout.
4. While creating the body of the article, the writer should include
the required information covering the aspects such as cause,
effect, solution and steps to be taken.
5. It is very important for an article to consist of a conclusion. An
open-ended article is often confusing and incomplete.
6. The conclusion should be a point of balance reached after
comparison of contrasting ideas and views. It should convince/
persuade the readers in some way.

India- A Dream Destination


(By Navita )
India is a land of diversity-Diversity of culture, religion,
language, food, occupation. Besides this, exquisite monuments
and temples together with archaeological finds for the tourists
make India a travellers delight. Being the birthplace of many
religions like Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, India is also an
ideal place for religious tourism. Places like Bodhgaya, Shirdi,
and Rishikesh are thriving because of religious tourism.

India has an array of destinations to offer- beautiful beaches,


forests and wildlife, snow-capped peaks, rivers and mountain
peaks for adventure tourism, technological parks and science
museums for science tourism, centres of pilgrimage for spiritual
tourism, heritage trains and hotels for heritage tourism. A new
growth sector is medical tourism. It is currently growing steadily
with world class hospitals. Yoga, Ayurveda and natural health
resorts also attract tourists.
Indian tourism has vast potential for generating employment
and earning large sums of foreign exchange besides giving a
boost to the country’s overall economic and social
development. Much has been achieved by way of increasing
trains and railway connectivity to important tourist destinations,
four-lane roads connecting important tourist centres and
increasing availability of accommodation by adding heritage
hotels to the hotel industry and encouraging paying guest
accommodation.
