What is an article?
Article is a collection of words; describing about a specific topic.
The author of the article should have knowledge on the topic on which the article is written. He should also have the ability to write in that particular language-knowledge of the grammar,syntax and vocabulary.
The next question is - who are the readers? Is the topic oriented towards a particular class or group of people; for example students,senior citizens, scientists,ladies,politicians?
An article has the following sections - heading,introduction,body and conclusions. The books and magazines referred in writing can be given in the bibliography. Figures,tables can be included if so required.
What should be the ideal length of an article? This is very difficult to define.It depends on the subject and how the author is able to explain the subject matter in a clear and lucid manner. However on an average about 500 words are quite reasonable.
The author should try to explain in a simple and straightforward manner; flowery language should be avoided as far as possible.The syntax and grammar of the language should be strictly adhered to.
