Areportis a factual piece of writing meaning


it doesn't have to sound very sensational, butit should
be
clearly structured and rather descriptive and
evaluating. Therefore, it is
very importantthat
your introduction makes it clear what the purpose of the report is and what
you are
going

simply copy the wording from the task, butinstead
to show the examiner that understand

Lastbut not least, we need one last


short paragraph to wrap up our
report. Whatyou write in

in
your
conclusion depends on the things you mentioned in the main section and the exact requirements
in the task. Most of the time, you have to make a recommendation so it is
important to use some
persuasive

language (after all, you wantthe person who reads to follow


your report your recommendation).

ALWAYS MAKE APLAN


One of the biggestmistakes made
by students is thatthey look atthe taskand then startto write their
