Writing a report · 写报告
What a report does
- A report gives information to a person in charge.
- It describes an event or situation, then suggests what to do.
- Keep the tone factual and clear — it is not a story.
A report can recommend action without pretending to be a detective novel.
报告的作用
- 报告 (report) 把信息提供给负责的人。
- 它描述一件事或一种情况,然后建议该怎么做。
- 语气要客观、清楚——它不是故事。
报告可以提出建议，不必假装自己是一部侦探小说。
A report is written for a person in ___ (someone above you). · 报告写给“负责的人”——in ___。
A person 'in charge' is a manager or leader. · 'in charge' 指负责人、领导。
Use headings
- Break the report into short sections with headings.
- For example: Introduction, Problems, Recommendation.
- Headings help the reader find information fast.
A report gives facts the reader can use, not a story
使用小标题
- 用小标题把报告分成几个短小的部分。
- 例如:Introduction、Problems、Recommendation。
- 小标题帮读者快速找到信息。
What helps a reader find information in a report quickly? · 什么能帮读者快速在报告中找到信息?
Headings split the report into easy-to-scan sections. · 小标题把报告分成便于查读的部分。
Facts, then advice
- First give the facts; keep your opinion out of this part.
- A good recommendation is an action: who should do what, and when.
- End with one clear recommendation.
先事实,后建议
- 先给出事实;这一部分不要写你的看法。
- 好的建议是一个行动:谁、做什么、什么时候。
- 用一条清楚的建议结尾。
Fact or opinion? · 事实还是看法?
The facts section takes only checkable statements; feelings wait for the recommendation. · 事实部分只收可核实的陈述;感受要等到建议部分。
In a report, you should mix facts and opinions in the same part. · 在报告里,应该把事实和看法混在同一部分。
Keep facts and recommendations separate. · 事实和建议要分开。
Write one sentence recommending an improvement for your school. Start with 'I recommend'. · 写一句话,为你的学校提一条改进建议。用 'I recommend' 开头。
Example: 'I recommend that the school opens the library at lunchtime.' · 例如:'I recommend that the school opens the library at lunchtime.'
From survey to report line
- Your notes: canteen queue 25 min · 40 of 60 students skip lunch · two tills, one open.
- Facts section: "A survey of 60 students found that 40 regularly skip lunch because the queue takes 25 minutes."
- No feelings yet — numbers, plainly stated, in the right section.
- Recommendation: "I recommend opening the second till at 12:00." — one action, crystal clear.
从调查数据到报告句子
- 你的笔记:食堂排队 25 分钟 · 60 人中 40 人不吃午饭 · 两个收银台只开一个。
- 事实部分:"A survey of 60 students found that 40 regularly skip lunch because the queue takes 25 minutes."
- 先不带感受——把数字平实地写进正确的部分。
- 建议:"I recommend opening the second till at 12:00."——一个行动,一目了然。
Match each report section to what belongs inside it. · 把报告的每一节和它应包含的内容配对。
Every sentence should live in the section built for it — facts never mix with advice. · 每句话都要住进为它准备的那一节——事实绝不和建议混住。
- A report is factual and for a person in charge.
- Use short headings to organise it.
- Facts first, then a clear recommendation.
- 报告是客观的,写给负责的人。
- 用短小的小标题来组织。
- 先事实,再给清楚的建议。
