A.1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. In today’s fiercely competitive business environment, companies need to communicate information pertaining to whole range of issues in a lucid and precise manner to their customers

2. This is particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing,information technology (I T), engineering products and services companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects.

3. These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by ‘technical writers’—people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience.

4. The skills of a technical writer are being increasingly sought for preparing marketing documents such as brochures, case studies, website content and media kits and for the preparation of a whole range of manuals.Though technical writers in a company do a good portion of such work, the trend now is to outsource technical writing to free-lancers.

5. Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart.The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and hence should l direct and lucid. An overdose of technical terms and jargon would only add to the confusion of the customer.

6. The basic requirement for being a technical writer is near-total mastery over English language.A technical writer should be natural in creative writing and needs to be an expert in using Business English.

7. This simply means that those with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature along with a diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications(PGDCA) are ideal candidates for being employed as technical writers.

8. According to Joe Winston,Chief Executive Officer of ‘I-manager’, speaking ability is not imperative for a technical writer. All that one needs is the talent to write in a simple and effective manner.Many have inhibitions in speaking English but their writing skills would be very sharp.
