Reports

Reports are a way of writing for a particular audience, giving them information about a particular topic or subject. While they share some  characteristics of an essay, essays usually follow the same structure - an introduction, main body and a conclusion. Reports, however, can be written for different purposes and may also have different structures. 

This guide can help you:

• Consider the tone, style and characteristics of a report
• To recognise the difference between an essay and report
• To think about the reason for writing your report and how that may affect it's structure
