A report is a set of information used to report partial or total results of a certain activity,
experiment, project, action, research, or other event that is finished or in progress. It can be
oral or written.[1]
When it comes to an academic work, it can be prepared with reference to original research, or
present a bibliographical study. It commonly aims to present the progress of work with funding
and supervisory bodies, it can be an internship or research stage. In this case, it is submitted to
the committees and councils of the competent bodies, or of the event, which decide on the
merits.
Normally, standardized formatting is used, which however can be made more flexible if its
scope is internal to the executing sector or group to which the latter belongs.
The difficulty in creating a report is normally proportional to the complexity and breadth of the
subject addressed. In situations like this, creating subreports can be a good alternative.
It is important to know what type of writing to adopt to establish the focus: detailed exposition
of a case (description) or opinion and position - individual or collective - on a subject
(dissertation). communication: a Board of professionals, a director or manager, a colleague
with whom you are close friends? Depending on the chosen recipient, you will need to adopt
an appropriate style: protocol, formal or informal, synthetic or analytical.
Now, really think about what you want to communicate: the main points, the significant
comments and the aspects that can help the recipient to better understand your text. To
better structure what you intend to write, use the journalist's scheme: who did it, what they
did it, why they did it, how they did it, when they did it and where they did it. Once these
questions are answered, write the message with a beginning, middle and end.
The beginning has to be creative and clear. You need to "hold" the reader's attention within
the first ten lines so that they feel motivated to continue reading.
The medium has to be persuasive to convince the reader of the point of view you are
developing. Gather facts, statistics, charts and testimonials to give your report consistency.
The end, like the beginning, needs to be memorable. In the last paragraph, make a summary of
what was written and find an expressive sentence that can represent well the communication
made.
The number of pages will depend on the depth needed to address the subject at hand. Usually,
those who write know how much to write.
Avoid grammatical errors, especially verbal and nominal agreement (the most common).
Also be aware of the cacophony, which is the joining of two words forming a third with a
ridiculous meaning (like loving her). Pay close attention to the word order so as not to change
the meaning of what you want to say. Prefer the direct order (subject, predicate and
complements) so as not to confuse your readers.
Transmit what really matters, coherently, without slang or very technical language, and with a
high standard of civility. Communicating is making yourself understood. If you achieve this
goal, you will be close to success.
