REPORT What´s the purpose of the report? A report is usually written to give information to somebody who needs it. This means that the writer knows more about the subject than the reader. You may be asked to give information, evaluate something, or make suggestions and recommendations. MAKE YOUR REPORT CLEAR AND SIMPLE. What style should I use? A report is based on facts and/ or data. Think carefully about the best way to present the facts. Be clear and avoid unnecessary detail. Give essential information and recommendations. A report is a formal piece of writing and it is impersonal (avoid using the pronoun " I "). Say what you have to say in as few words as possible. How should I structure a report? Every report, like an essay, should have the following parts: A. INTRODUCTION- state what you are going to write about. If the report
Purpose: To communicate the solution to a problem. Audience: Anyone who has to implement your design, understand your design, or reference your design to solve their own problem. Typically, this is the project client. While the client may be familiar with the project, the report is still written as though the client is new to the project because that is the best way to tell the whole story. A design report is different than a lab report that you might be familiar with. A lab report describes an experiment and its conclusions and has four main parts: Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. The major difference between design and lab reports is that design reports do not include a methods section (other than when describing the evaluation plan.) When performing an experiment, the method that you use to obtain an answer must be presented for someone else to validate the results. For
· Carefully Organized Information If a reader needs to be persuaded or convinced, your information will need careful planning and organizing. · Correct Grammar and Spelling Train yourself to check for major grammatical errors, words which are commonly misspelt and sentences which are incomplete. · Suitable Style and Tone The style and tone must match the message and its reader. You cannot, for example, write a memo to a colleague in the same style and tone as you might use when speaking on the telephone to a friend. · Logically Connected Ideas Finally, your ideas must be suitably connected so that the reader can identify related ideas while reading through and gradually understanding the message. Text 1 and Text 2 below clearly show these five aspects of writing in the business world. Evaluation Exercise 1

Yours faithfully, Introduction This report looks at the dietary habits of twenty students in their final year at Freedonian Secondary School. The report is based on the students' responses to the questionnaire administered by the school's doctor. Meals The survey have revealed that the students do not have enough meals. Only eight of those questioned eat before school, and half of them have their midday meal at school. Worryingly, as few as four students have both breakfast and school lunch. Still more disturbing is the fact that an alarming proportion--approximately onethird--of the students have neither. Eating brown bread

When writing an essay, information should not be unnecessarily repeated. The same is true for grammatical patterns and vocabulary: different grammatical patterns and words make the essay more interesting and easily readable. As an essay is a formal piece of writing, contractions (e.g. isn't, aren't, etc.) are not acceptable because they are not formal enough. S/he can be used instead of the cumbersome "he or she" to save space when having in mind a person of either sex, or the also politically correct "they" for the singular. There should be neither slang forms nor colloquialisms. It is important to be as precise and to the point as possible. Hinting at things is not a good idea because essays are not meant to be read by friends who know the writer's point of view anyway, but by mere acquaintances or most often even strangers who should also understand everything the writer is trying to say.

Background studies who else has written about this topic (what has been already done and what else I can do here). Papers of this kind test logical thinking. What is assessed: - the ability to collect material (both theoretical (who has written about it) and practical; - the ability to classify it (grouping ability); - the ability to describe the material ("some say this ..., they are not wrong, but other say that ...." Etc.); - the ability to draw conclusions (on theoretical and practical materials); - your personal contribution (do something that no one has done before); - talking about the material (as if you are speaking to the first year student avoid sophistication in language, that may sound unnatural).

Report Introduction The aim of this report is to analyse the results of a survey on people's phobias. In this survey, people were asked different questions to find out how many of them suffers from different phobias and how it is affecting their lives. Types of phobias The most common phobias among questioned people are altophobia and pteromerhanophobia. This is shown by the fact that 19% of questioned people are afraid of heights and 17% are afraid of flying. The least common phobia is agoraphobia. This is
More praise for Influence: Science and Practice! "We've known for years that people buy based on emotions and justify their buying decision based on logic. Dr. Cialdini was able, in a lucid and cogent manner, to tell us why this happens." --MARK BLACKBURN, Sr. Vice President, Director of Insurance Operations, State Auto Insurance Companies "Dr. Cialdini's ability to relate his material directly to the specifics of what we do with our customers and how we do it, enabled us to make significant changes. His work has enabled us to gain significant competitive differentiation and advantage"
hypothetical situations can hardly relate to real situations. The ticking bomb argument looks at the hypothetical case where a leader of a state is asked to give their permission to torture a captured rebel leader because he (probably) knows the locations of a few explosives that are spread around the city in different apartment buildings. In case they are not found within 24 hours, they will explode and many will be left dead (Walzer, 1973). Is it justified to torture this person to find out where the bomb is? This essay will look in to how it has according to the thinkers in the strand of consequentialism / utilitarianism been labelled justifiable to use torture techniques in combating terrorism and will present the reasons for why this controversial behaviour that democratic governments have been proven to conduct and still are being accused of until the current day is irrational and dangerous.

always understood to be within apostolic succession in the same way. One who has been ordained deacon, priest, and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the (ministerial) priesthood, given responsibility by Christ to govern, teach and sanctify the Body of Christ, members of the Faithful. Priests, deacons and lay ministers cooperate and assist their bishop(s) in shepherding a flock. Vicar/ priest is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". Minister In Christianity, a minister is someone who is authorized by a church, or other religious organization, to perform functions such as teaching of beliefs; leading services such as weddings, baptisms or funerals; or otherwise providing spiritual guidance to the community.

Dillman INTERNATIONAL HANDBOOK OF SURVEY METHODOLOGY ÜLESANNE Õppeaines: SISSEJUHATUS ERIALASSE Tehnoloogia ja ringmajanduse instituut Õpperühm: Juhendaja: Tallinn 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 1 THE CORNERSTONES OF SURVEY RESEARCH 1.1 Introduction The idea of conducting a survey is deceptively simple. It involves identifying a specific group or category of people and collecting information from some of them in order to gain insight into what the entire group does or thinks; however, undertaking a survey inevitably raises questions that may be difficult to answer. How many people need to be surveyed in order to be able to describe fairly accurately the entire group? How should the people be selected? What questions should be asked
Evaluation Exercise 2 Sentence Length Text 31 and Text 32 are both extracts from company reports. Neither of them are really acceptable or effective as a piece of writing. Why? How would you improve them? The induction courses have so far been the responsibility of the Personnel Administration Department. They could also be run by individual line departments. However, this would cause more disruption. The company might also lose some production. Therefore, line managers may refuse to cooperate. It has been decided to finance the construction of a further COC housing complex which will be located in the vicinity of the main offices and will provide extra accommodation for twenty families, but the 50% increase in manpower which is expected to have occurred by 2010 means that the company's provision of accommodation will still be inadequate, and so the

The web-based technology supports collaborative learning that enriches learning performance, both for individual knowledge construction and group knowledge sharing. I became interested in the field since I realised that nowadays in order to be an effective teacher one must know the `key' to the new generation of learners falling, to a category of `digital natives'. The research aims to determine the meaning of `blogs' and evaluate the extent to which they might be useful for the teaching of English. The primary purpose of this study is to collect evidence from numerous reviews of practices and summarize findings that will reflect on the ways in which social computing applications change learning patterns, give rise to new learning opportunities. This research project will sort out the best resources most suitable for the use in EFL classroom. It will firstly draw on diverse opinions, experiences, approaches on the use of
1. The closeness and neighbourhood of words with inherent positive overtones. 2. We may have comparison a part of which the word becomes. 3. Words "hope", "wish", etc. may affect a word in the context. 4. Repetition of a word. 5. Complementary words. 6. Character's voice (e.g. "Hatred", she said, her voice trembling with pleasure." "pleasure" turns "hatred" into positive). 4. STYLISTIC MORPHOLOGY NOUNS: the expressive features of nouns are based on non-typical use of the number, the case, and pronoun substitution. On a transposition of nouns this is observed in personification, in which objects, natural phenomenon and animals are attributed with human feelings or speech (e.g. "The Wind laughed his evil laugh." "wind" is combined with typically human aspects). Another case of transposition is zoonymic metaphor. Names of animals, birds, fantastic beings when applied

participation. With a particular interest in Wales, the following research project analyses the development of children`s active participation both in the Welsh Government and the County and Council of Swansea. Both the local and national authority has regarded the UNCRC on the basis of all its activity. One of the primary goals in both authorities is to work towards the adoption of the UNCRC in every school in Wales and Swansea as they recognise the positive impact rights based education may have upon young people`s emotional, social and academic development. The central theme of this dissertation rests on the commitment of the Cadle Primary School towards children`s right to participation as underpinned in the Article 12 of the UNCRC. The Cadle Primary School is one of the first schools in Swansea to adopt the UNCRC through the Rights Respecting School programme (RRSA). The RRSA school initiative is developed by
phers of language to formal grammar or syntax as articulated by theoretical linguists. I personally believe that such attention is vital to success in phi- losophizing about language, and in my own work I pay as much of it as I am able. With regret, however, I have not made that a theme of this book. Under severe space limitations, I could not expend as many pages as would be needed to explain the basics of formal syntax, without having to omit presentation of some philosophical issues I consider essential to competence in the field. Since around 1980, some philosophers of language have taken a turn toward the philosophy of mind, and some have engaged in metaphysical exploration of the relation or lack thereof between language and reality. These adversions have captured many philosophers' interest, and some fine textbooks have focused on one or both (for example, Blackburn 1984; Devitt and Sterelny 1987). But I have chosen otherwise.

The text will not be very detailed, but it will give a basic knowledge about Nokia's way of getting to what it is today. Secondly I will give an overview of Nokia's present-day state. I will talk about Nokia's location today and the range of its business and products. Thirdly I will talk about Nokia's basic business tactics. I will give a brief description of its strategy and vision concerning the future. That will be followed by a description of Nokia's basic products. In conclusion I will be giving my own opinion about Nokia and review the main points of the report. HISTORY The firm Nokia we know today has greatly changed comparing to the time it first started under the name of Nokia. Nokia was established in 1865 as a pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Idestam in the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. In the beginning of 20th Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia Wood Mills and Finnish Cable Works and all
To sum up, there are many sources of stress in young people's lives, which affect theirs ability to be positive. But it is important to bear in mind that there are also solutions to avoid stress. REPORT 2009 To: Mrs. Cook From: Exchange student at Trent College Subject: Trent College students' eating preferences Date: 04/05/12 Purpose The aim of this report is to present Trent College students' eating preferences and make recommendations. A survey was carried out among the students in Trent College. Fast food Fast food is the most popular type of food among the boys. This is demonstrated by the fact that a significant number of boys prefered it. Only 30% of girls prefered fast food. This implies that girls are smarter and think more about their health. Vegetables Vegetables is the most popular type of food among the girls. Over 50% of girls prefered vegetables. This shows again that girls are more healthier
