Report

Writing
1 What is a Report?
Report is an account of an event or incident that
had happened in the past. Reports are basically an
organized presentation of the facts and findings
about an event/incident that had already taken
place in the past.
Tips For Writing A Report

✗ You cannot add your own opinions while writing a report. The
report should have facts about the event or incident that had
been witnessed directly or people were interviewed about it.
✗ Reports should be written in an indirect speech.
✗ We cannot use first person’s point of view while writing a report
e.g. I.
✗ Reports are written in the past tense because the event had taken
place in the past.
✗ Do not write your personal information in report writing.
