In this sample of report writing, what is more important is the format that you will use to structure your own report. In the sample, the content is basically irrelevant but the format must be followed therefore my aim is just to add your report writing skills. Samples of report writing are even written in academics where students are required to structure a report over a given topic and assume that they have done it.
In this article, I will go step by step in Writing reports.
Format
A good sample of report Writing must contain the following basics;
Title. The title includes the author’s name and the date when the report was prepared.
Introduction. This is a brief description of your title. You tell us why you have written the report, define some meaning of terms that you will use and also any other relevant information that you are going to describe in the report.
Body. This is the most important part in your report. You fully describe all what your report entails. You must be clear and only give relevant information.
Conclusion. After any Writing, it comes the conclusion showing that you have finished your writing. Put everything together and give the best conclusion.
Recommendations. This is where you give out your opinions. Maybe you saw something that needs to be corrected. You write it in this recommendations section.
Appendices. This is where you support your conclusions.
Summary. This is written to show all your highlights in the body. Skimmers tend to read this section most so it is important to polish on it.
