Summary: It consists of giving a concise and clear account of main points, recommendations, and conclusions. Let it be kept away from jargons.

Introduction: This is, in actual terms, the 1st part of report. By reading this, the reader should get a fair idea of the report’s background. It should be written such that the readers should feel that theywould be missing out on a vital part by not going through this section.

Main Body: This section consists of all the facts, i.e. the heart of the report. It might consist of numerous sections and subsections, with each one of them having their own subtitles. As stated above, there should be no carelessness shown in this section.

Conclusion: Let the conclusions be presented logically. Plain English should be used.

Recommendations: Feel free to recommend your report. After all, it’s the fruit of your efforts.

Appendices: Let the entire heavy stuff be put here. This is suggested because only experts are probable to see it.

Next stages: Stages 2 and 3 consist of drafting and editing. Editing deals with checking the spellings, grammar, and punctuation marks. After finishing with all this, the writer can heave a sigh of relief, as report is ready.
