HOW TO WRITE A REPORT FOR A FIRST CERTIFICATE WRITING

The first thing to do is to study the task input. Find out what the context is and who has asked you to write the report.

The plan doesn’t need to be particularly detailed – just some brief notes on what you want to include in each paragraph. You will usually need at least four paragraphs:

• Reports should be written using Formal English. You should try to use the passive voice as much as possible and I would recommend not using personal pronouns (I, me, my etc…) as the report isn’t really concerned about what your opinion is, but it wants analysis of a factual situation.

You will lose points for the Content of your Report as you obviously haven’t developed the ideas sufficiently.
