1.Presentation:
A presentation is a means of communication that
can be adapted to various speaking situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. A presentation can also be used as a broad term that encompasses other 'speaking engagements' such as making a speech at a wedding, or getting a point across in a video conference. To be effective, step-by-step preparation and the method and means of presenting the information should be carefully considered. A presentation requires you to get a message across to the listeners and will often contain a 'persuasive' element. It may, for example, be a talk about the positive work of your organisation, what you could offer an employer, or why you should receive additional funding for a project. 2.Meetings:
A meeting is a coming together of (generally)
three or more people to exchange information in a planned manner and discuss issues set out before them to arrive at decisions, solve problems, etc. A meeting can be formal or informal. As regards a formal meeting there is set rules for convening it and conducting it, with a written record of its proceedings. It requires a notice which is a call, an invitation to attend it. It has an agenda or list of things to deal with, and the outcome is systematically written in the form of minutes. An informal meeting can be without any written notice, for instance a staff union meeting in the lunch room to discuss a picnic. A meeting has a convener who calls it and a leader or chairperson who directs it. In this mechanical age, union is strength, and united work is done by means of meetings. It is estimated that worldwide, millions of meetings are con1ducted every day, and their number and use·f ulness is on the rise. That is why although many nega1tive remarks are made about the use of meetings; on the whole we find that meeting is a useful device of collective decision-taking and action. Meetings give important opportunities for our team members to contribute their ideas and also letting them know our expectations, needs and wants from them . Unfortunately, a lot of meetings, well, most, are ineffective. We speak with literally hundreds in the workplace each year as we are facilitating our leadership coaching and assessments of organizational culture and leadership (360s) . A theme which comes up often is meetings, e.g., the number of meetings and the inefficiency of the meetings. This is worth addressing as it certainly is important.

4.Report Writing :
Report writing is a formal style of writing
elaborately on a topic. The tone of a report is always formal. The audience it is meant for is always thought out section. For example - report writing about a school event, report writing about a business case, etc. Reports are written with much analysis. The purpose of report writing is essential to inform the reader about a topic, minus one's opinion on the topic. It's simply a portrayal of facts, as it is. Even if one gives inferences, solid analysis, charts, tables and data is provided. Mostly it is specified by the person who's asked for the report whether they'd like your take or not if that is the case.In many cases, what's required is your suggestions for a specific case after a factual report. That depends on why are you writing the report and who you are writing it for in the first place. Knowing your audience's motive for asking for that report is very important as it sets the course of the facts focused in your report. Reports can be academic, technical, or business- oriented, and feature recommendations for specific actions. Reports are written to present facts about a situation, project, or process and will define and analyze the issue at hand. Ultimately, the goal of a report is to relay observations to a specific audience in a clear and concise style. Let's review the proper report writing format so you can craft a professional finished product.
