contribute to finding solutions or suggestions.

6. Leadership and Teamwork:

GD helps evaluate qualities such as leadership, teamwork, and the ability to manage or facilitate
a discussion, as well as the ability to work collaboratively.

7. Time-Bound:
GDs are typically conducted within a specific time frame, which adds to the challenge of
expressing ideas concisely and effectively.

Example

Initiator: "Welcome, everyone. Today, we are discussing food wastage, a global issue affecting
both developed and developing nations. Let's begin with your thoughts on its causes and
impacts."

Participant 1: "Food wastage happens due to overproduction, poor storage, and consumer
habits. Restaurants and households often throw away large amounts of edible food."

Participant 2: "That’s true. It’s shocking that while food is wasted, millions go hungry. This also
affects the environment since wasted food contributes to greenhouse gas emissions."

Participant 3: "I agree. Food waste also leads to economic loss. Farmers, suppliers, and
consumers all bear the financial burden when food is wasted instead of being utilized efficiently."

Participant 4: "One solution is better planning. People should buy only what they need, and
restaurants can donate surplus food to food banks instead of discarding it."

Participant 1: "Yes! Even governments and businesses should step in by creating policies that
encourage food redistribution and improve storage facilities."

Initiator: "Great points! To sum up, reducing food waste requires individual responsibility,
corporate accountability, and policy interventions. Thank you all for your insights."

 TECHNICAL SKILLS

COPYWRITING

Copywriting is the art of crafting text to promote a product, service, idea, or brand. It is used in
advertisements, websites, emails, social media, brochures, and more. The goal of copywriting is
to persuade the reader to take a specific action such as making a purchase, signing up for a
newsletter, or clicking a link.

Characteristics or Elements of copywriting

1 Clarity: straightforward and clear messages without any mess up need to be presented. Use
simple language and avoid jargon.
2. Conciseness: keep your copy as brief as you can. Be specific in what you write about. Avoid
generalities. Look for something specific about the subject of your copy and use that as the
selling point.
3. Attractive headline: Since it is a first element that catches readers or customers attention,
create it as attractive as possible.
4.Emotional appeal: Uses emotions like happiness, fear, excitement, or urgency to connect
with the reader.
5. Call to action: Encourages the reader to take immediate action.
Example: "Subscribe now and get 20% off your first order!”
6. Emphasization of benefit over features: For successful copywriting, however, the focus is
on
emphasizing the benefits. Since consumers want to know how something can benefit them
directly, copywriting must succeed in giving them what they want.
7. Focus on customer: Tailored to the needs, desires, and pain points of the target audience.
Example: A copy for parents might highlight safety features in a car advertisement.
8. Tone and voice : Matches the company’s tone and style—whether it’s professional, casual,
or humorous.
Example: A luxury brand’s copy will sound refined, while a sports brand might be energetic and
bold.

Types of Copywriting

While all copywriting, to some degree, is persuasive writing, there are different types of
specialists.
1. Ad copywriting: The purpose of ad copywriting is to convince readers to take action
while using as few words as possible. This means every word matters, and those words
will need to target a specific issue or problem succinctly and show how a product or
service is a solution. These ads can have a big impact on your conversion rates.

2. Email copywriting: Emails are still one of the best online methods for reaching
customers and can be highly persuasive. Email copywriting will include compelling
subject lines and engaging text that builds up to a clear, irresistible call to action.

3. Social media copywriting: Social media copywriting involves creating posts with
targeted messages that speak directly to your audience. Each post, however, will need
tailoring to the specific social media platform and its standards.

4. Technical copywriting: Compelling copy that breaks something technical down into
understandable steps, such as how-to articles for product set-up or use, is technical
copywriting. While helpful, it is also encouraging to the reader to take action and make
a purchase.

Example:

1.​ Write a copywriting on a skincare brand.

A Glimpse of Royalty at Mysore Palace

As I approached the grand Mysore Palace, its Indo-Saracenic architecture stood in

breathtaking contrast to the bright blue sky. The golden domes shimmered in the
sunlight, and the intricate carvings on the arches hinted at a history of opulence and
grandeur.

Stepping inside, I was greeted by an explosion of colors—vivid stained-glass windows,

ornate ceilings, and mosaic-tiled floors that reflected the soft glow of chandeliers. The
Durbar Hall, with its massive pillars and royal throne, transported me to an era when
Maharajas ruled with elegance.

But it was at night when the true magic unfolded. As thousands of bulbs illuminated the
palace, the entire structure glowed like something out of a fairy tale. Standing there,
watching the palace bathed in golden light, I felt as if time had paused—just for a
moment—in the heart of Mysore’s royal legacy.
