give me some ideas how to write report

Dear student,
 
The following guidelines would help you write a newspaper report:
 
HEADLINE : This is the part where you tell your readers what your topic is all about. You can use your headlines to draw more attention by making them punchy and very descriptive. Your target readers must have a solid idea about the gist of your content by just looking at your headlines.
 
BYLINE: This is the part where you include your name as the author of your article. Just beneath this part, you can indicate the date when the article was published.
 
FIRST PARAGRAPH: This plays a very vital role while framing a newspaper report. Thus, it must be well-written, highly informative, and content-rich. Your readers must find all the important information in this part. You must also be able to answer all the questions that they might have in mind.
 
SUCCEEDING PARAGRAPHS: Depending on the data that you have gathered, you can use your succeeding paragraphs to present supporting data and quotes from key people involved in your chosen topics.
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: This is optional. If you are writing an article as a follow up on the news that you have reported in the past, you should give your readers background information. This can help in encouraging better understanding.

Report Writing: Formatting the Report Elements

 Here are the main sections of the standard report writing format:

  • Title Section - If the report is short, the front cover can include any information that you feel is necessary including the author(s) and the date prepared. In a longer report, you may want to include a table of contents and a definitions of terms.
  • Summary - There needs to be a summary of the major points, conclusions, and recommendations. It needs to be short as it is a general overview of the report. Some people will read the summary and only skim the report, so make sure you include all the relevant information. It would be best to write this last so you will include everything, even the points that might be added at the last minute.
  • Introduction - The first page of the report needs to have an introduction.  You will explain the problem and show the reader why the report is being made. You need to give a definition of terms if you did not include these in the title section, and explain how the details of the report are arranged.  
  • Body - This is the main section of the report. The previous sections needed to be written in plain English, but this section can include jargon from your industry. There needs to be several sections, with each having a subtitle.  Information is usually arranged in order of importance with the most important information coming first. If you wish, a “Discussion” section can be included at the end of the Body to go over your findings and their significance. 
  • Conclusion - This is where everything comes together. Keep this section free of jargon as most people will read the Summary and Conclusion.       
  • Recommendations - This is what needs to be done. In plain English, explain your recommendations, putting them in order of priority.
  • Appendices - This includes information that the experts in the field will read. It has all the technical details that support your conclusions.

This report writing format will make it easier for the reader to find what he is looking for. Remember to write all the sections in plain English, except for the Body. Also remember that the information needs to be organized logically with the most important information coming first.
