then what ought to be done remains undone.

How “Readers” influence the preparation of a scientific
report?

Focus on why you are writing

• Before starting to write you should have a good idea of
precisely what you want to communicate to your
audience.

• If this goal is not first defined in your own mind, you

can’t really expect your reader to get a clear message.

7
• Having this sense of purpose as you write may not
guarantee your readers will receive a noise free
message, but writing without a clear goal will
certainly result in a poor communication.

Noise in Technical writing

Noise can be defined as anything that prevents the
message from effectively getting into minds of the
audience.

8
Examples of noise in technical report

1. Mistakes in words spelling and Grammar in writing

technical reports.

2. Some negative words to avoid in writing are:

Cannot, impossible, unable to, fail, little value, do not,
loss, damage, error, mistake, not problem, refuse, stop,
and unfortunately.

9
Examples of what not to write:

• These reports are of little value and are causing

problems in the office.

• The project cannot be completed because some people

are not doing their jobs.

10
Examples of what to write

Your purpose in writing needs to be on the solution, not

the problem, the audience need to read about what to do,
using positive words such as: benefit, it is best to,
progress, success and valuable.
