Appendix 3
How to write reports in plain English
Introduction
Welcome to the plain English report-writing course. All you need is a pen, some paper, a little time and the will to learn.
There is no great mystery about writing clear, concise and effective reports. The writing skills you will learn in this book will work in all types of ‘business’ writing – letters, leaflets, memos and so on. What makes reports different is the formal way they are organised, and we’ll be looking at that.
All the examples are genuine.
The answers to all the exercises are at the end of the guide.
At the end of the course is a list of common bureaucratic words with plain English alternatives.
