What is Report Writing?

Report writing is like telling a story about facts. Imagine you are sharing details with someone who wasn’t there. Start with what happened, include important details, and end with conclusions or recommendations. Use clear language, organize information logically, and be concise. Reports help others understand a situation or make decisions based on the presented facts. A report is essentially a formal document focused on a particular topic, encompassing information, discoveries, or outcomes derived from an investigation or research process.

A report is of two different types:

1. Narrative report– This provides descriptive information on an incident or event that has already occurred.
2. Tabular report– This provides more statistical information on a specific analysis of an incident.

While writing a report you need to be more careful as each and every subheading of a report conveys a message. Hence it is difficult when compared to essay writing. 

Report Writing Format

An effective presentation of information in a Report is crucial to capture the reader’s interest. The author or writer should have a clear understanding of the report’s structure and present the details in a sequential manner.

1. Title of topic and table of contents
2. By-line description
3. Introduction
4. Detailed description of the event

4. Detailed Description
