    The document discusses the key features of a report text. It defines a report as presenting information about a topic through systematic observation and analysis. A report generally has two parts: 1) a general classification that describes the subject of the report, and 2) a description that provides details about parts, qualities, habits or behaviors. Report language keeps subjects and objects clear with nouns and noun phrases rather than pronouns. Reports also typically use present tense, some passive voice, technical terms, and descriptive rather than imaginative language. An example pelican report demonstrates these structural and linguistic characteristics.

    THE PELICAN REPORT

    General Clasification : The white pelican is one of the most successful fish-eating birds.

    Description : The success is largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps
    two dozen birds, will gather in a curved arc some distance offshore. The birds then begin to move
    forward towards the shore, beating the water furiously with their wings, driving the fish before them.

    When the water is shallow enough for the birds to reach the fish, the formation breaks up as each bird
    dips its bill into the water to scoop up its meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from its bill
    leaving the fish which are then swallowed.

    Pelicans are among the oldest group of birds, Fossils of this genus have been found dating back 40
    million years.
