Classified Ads

The Classified Ads section of the newspaper contains a diverse amount of information. There are things to buy and sell, employment opportunities, sales, obituaries, real estate and birthdays. All parts of the Classified Section of the newspaper are short, using fairly plain language and short phrases. Each ad can be used on its own, or they can be used together.



Exercise 1


  1. Note to tutor/instructor: prepare a chart with a list of headings found in the Classified Ads (kinds of merchandise for sale and services available). Help the participant look through the Classified Ads and find examples of each heading (add new ones if you need to).

    Write the examples of each heading on the WRITE program using a new page for each heading.





  2. Look through the Classified ads for something that you would love to have. Imagine you bought it. Write about what happened after you took it home.
