WRITING REPORT

I. Report Writing

Unlike an essay, which sets out and defends a writer's view about a topic and does not have to
feature headings, a report discusses a topic in a structured, easy-to-follow format.Reports are
written to present facts about a situation, project or process and will define and analyze the
issue at hand. Reports relay observations to a specific audience in a clear and concise style.

II. The main sections of a standard report are:

 Title Section: If the report is short, the front cover can include any information that
you feel is necessary including the author(s) and the date prepared. In a longer report,
you may want to include a table of contents and a definition of terms.

 Introduction: The first page of the report needs to have an introduction. Here you will
explain the problem and inform the reader why the report is being made. You need to
give a definition of terms if you did not include these in the title section, and explain
how the details of the report are arranged
 Body: This is the main section of the report. The previous sections needed to be
written in plain English, but this section can include technical terms or jargon from
your industry. There should be several sections, each clearly labeled with a subtitle.
Information in a report is usually arranged in order of importance with the most
important information coming first.

 Conclusion: This is where everything comes together. Keep this section free of jargon
as many people will just read the summary and conclusion. The conclusion
summarizes the whole paper by highlighting the important points that are already
discussed earlier in the paper. It also states whether there is a need for further
research or not and presents recommendations or suggestions for it. It does not
include any kind of new information and only restates the content discussed earlier.
