Lesson 15　 Announcements Objectives Compose appropriate announcements; Use proper capitalization; Adopt buffers in negative messages; Identify the structure of a paragraph. Objectives 　　The purpose of an announcement is to give information briefly and quickly. The message can be about almost anything: events, warnings, apologies, changes of plan, temporary address changes or instructions. Whatever the message is, it should be complete, clear, and concise so as to make it easy for a reader to get a quick and exact understanding. 　　An announcement may be written on a blackboard or bulletin board as a poster. It may also be sent to a target recipient (e.g. an official or a clerk) as a memo or a mail when its message needs to be explained in detail.
