Today's learning goals...

The checklist 

You understand the purpose of a report. 

You know the structure of a report. 

You know how to create the content of a report.  

A  report? 

CAE Cambridge says... 

 A report in C1 Advanced (CAE) is usually written for superior. For example a manager, director or for peer group that could be other students or members of a club that you are a member of as well. In a report, you always have to describe and evaluate a situation and usually suggest some cause of action that you would recommend.

You are going to present.. 

Factual information

You need to present them as if they were factual.

Effective and efficient text organization

The right paragraph structure, relevant headings as well as different linking words and expressions that we can use to connect our ideas.

Making suggestions/recommendations

Every report has a suggestion or recommendation at the end of it because that’s the sole purpose of writing a report.

Create the outline 

Take a look at some examples. Create a template for a CAE report and write down any tips & tricks that will help you. 

Report: Exercise 

You have just completed a Cambridge course at Het Nieuwe Lyceum. You were trained for the CAE exam that you passed successfully. You had three classes a week, of which one class was spent on a project. Your teacher has asked you to write a report about your experience. In your report, you should evaluate the course, explain which part of the programme was more useful, and suggest changes you would recommend for next year’s course. 

Feedback preparation

With all the information you have received over the past few weeks, go over your texts one more time. Improve the texts. 

Next CAE-class: bring an anonymized version of the work you feel most insecure about. So, the text without a name.
