Features of a feature article:

Heading-- which could be a Pun or a rhetorical Question, or anything eye catchy
Divide the page into two columns...as feature articles are written in two columns.
Feature article consists of a by line. I don't exactly know the definition of a by line--but it really gives some idea of what the article is about. E.g. "As time passes concerns for parents increase as they ask themselves "Are they consolidating their kids' future?'' writes Peteness.

Feature article consists of colloquial language...and has such things as statistics.
It consists of a visual. To insert a visual i'd recommend make a box and write about the pic u would like to be there to illustrate your point.
I lost marks last year when i didn't have a visual description. :rolleyes:

Hope this helps :)

* give n interesting headline - a idiom , a pun , a RQ, something which will attract the attention of the reader
* u don't always need to write a feature article in 2 columns , but it is recommended 2 do so
* use quotations from experts
*use graphics

well if u really wanna have n example , have a look at this bk:
success in HSC advanced english
