FOCUS ON WRITING

Part 1

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

How a leader can change a society

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 300 words.

Part 2

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.

Part 3

A report aims to inform, as clearly and succinctly as possible.

Below is given some general guidelines, but you should check with your lecturer for more detail on what is expected.

A report is similar to an essay in that both need:

• formal style
• introduction, body and conclusion
• analytical thinking
• careful proof-reading and neat presentation.

A report differs from an essay in that a report:

• presents information, not an argument
• is meant to be scanned quickly by the reader
• uses numbered headings and sub-headings
• uses short, concise paragraphs and dot-points where applicable
• uses graphics wherever possible (tables, graphs, illustrations)
• may need an abstract (sometimes called an executive summary)
• does not always need references and bibliography
• is often followed by recommendations and/or appendices.

A report should generally include the following sections.

(Sections marked with an asterisk (*) are essential: others are optional depending on the type, length and purpose of the report.)

• Letter of transmittal
• Title page*
• Table of contents
• List of abbreviations and/or glossary
• Executive summary/abstract
• Introduction*
• Body*
• Conclusion*
• Recommendations
• Bibliography
• Appendices.

Presentation and style are important. First impressions count, so consider these simple tips:

• use plenty of white space
• ensure the separate parts of your report stand out clearly
• use subheadings
• allow generous spacing between the elements of your report
• use dot points/ numbers/ letters to articulate these elements
• use tables and figures (graphs, illustrations, maps etc) for clarification.
• number each page
• use consistent and appropriate formatting
• use formal language.

Avoid these:

• the inclusion of careless, inaccurate, or conflicting data
• the inclusion of outdated or irrelevant data
• facts and opinions that are not separated
• unsupported conclusions and recommendations
• careless presentation and proof-reading
• too much emphasis on appearance and not enough on content.
