TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL WRITING:

1. Reports can serve a wide variety of purposes and so have a number of different formats. Most written reports, however, follow the same basic pattern, regardless of the subject or aim. This pattern is:

1) the preliminary page;

2) the introduction;

3) the body of the report;

4) the conclusion, recommendations or main findings;

5) acknowledgements;

6) appendix.

2. Use a formal style.

3. Plan and organize your information into different aspects using separate paragraphs and corresponding headings.

4. Use appropriate transitional words/ phrases.

GRAMMAR SECTION

PASSIVE VOICE

In English passive structures are used more often in formal and written language.

We use Passive:

a) when the person who carries out the action is unknown, unimportant or obvious from the context

e. g. You are ordered to report to General Hillard.

b) when the action itself is more important than the person who carries it out, as in news headlines, newspaper articles, formal notices, instructions, advertisements, processes, etc.

e.g. Water is evaporated carefully by the chemist.

 

When we change a sentence from Active to Passive:

 

- the object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

- the active verb remains in the same tense, but changes into a passive form

 

We use by when we need to say who or what is responsible for the event. We make passive forms by putting the verb to be into the correct tense and adding the Past Participle of the main verb.
