Sometimes you need to write in a way that uses as few words as possible. You need to use different types of sentences.
For example, when you want to sell something you own, you can place a classified advertisement in a newspaper. The short word for advertisement is advert.
And this type of advert is called classified because the different things for sale are placed in different categories or classes. This makes things easier for the reader. They can go straight to the section they want. They do not need to read all the adverts. This is useful and saves lots of time and effort. It is an efficient form of writing.
