At the beginning
Before writing a report we need to clear up the target subject and what will be included in this report in order to let your readers easily understand what you want them to get from your report. For example, we all once had the experience of looking for something in a messy drawer. The result is that it is so difficult to find what you want under this condition. In the meantime, you also need to spend lots of time on it. Similarly, presenting an unclear and disorganized report can hardly express your point to the readers.
The following is the list which I think a good report must contain:
Having a proper cover page
Subheadings (having a topic word or sentence before each paragraph)
Bullet points
Making a list
Highlighting your argument
Proving your argument
Using simple words and languages
Using pinpoint words
Referencing from
Having a complete conclusion
Below are the reasons why I think the 10 bullet points above form a good and professional report
Why we need to have a proper cover page in a good report
Here I’d like to have you as an example. Like you mentioned in the class before, it is much easier and more convenient for you to organize and categorize different kinds of reports from different departments and classes. You can also save plenty of time on looking for a specific report that you might need. Imagine that if one of your students failed by you come and ask you why you fail him or her, you can immediately find their rubbish reports and show them their disgusting work. It is bloody efficient, isn’t it?
A proper cover page should have:
1. Subject
2. Name (who presents the report)
3. Name (who receives the report)
4. Having the date on it
5. Having company name and department title
6. Should be simple
7. Should be professional
8. Avoiding complicated decoration and designs
Why we need to use subheadings in our reports
