The report

What is a report?

an account or statement describing in detail an event, situation, or the like, usually as the result of observation, inquiry, etc.:   a report on the peace conference; a medical report on the patient;  a statement or an announcement.

The FCE report

Writing a FCE report involves the presentation of mainly factual information, with suggestions or a recommendation.

You should think carefully about who the target reader is and why they need this report.

TIPS - CONTENT

• Make a paragraph plan and organise your ideas
• Plan what you are going to say
• Make sure you have enough  ideas for every paragraph
• State facts clearly and give some examples

TIPS - COMMUNICATIVE ACHIEVEMENT

• Write in a consistently formal and impersonal style.
• Communicate your ideas effectively so that the reader can act upon them.
• Be polite and constructive in any criticism.

TIPS- ORGANISATION

• State the aim of the report in an introduction.
• Include headings  to make your report clearer.
• Repeat your most important recommendation(s) in a conclusion, using different words.
  

TIPS - LANGUAGE

• Use passive forms (the book was read) and conditional constructions (if this, than that)
• Include some longer, complex sentences. 
• Try to show your full range of vocabulary.
