1 LESSON Writing a report a) How can the word report be interpreted into Russian? b) In what area(s) of activity are reports a usual tool of communication? Why do you think so? A report is a factual description of an event or situation. It may be written for: v a superior (e.g. tutor, manager) v a peer group (e.g. colleagues) v a general audience (e.g. a committee) A report will certainly contain some factual descriptions and explanations and possibly some suggestions, justifications or recommendations. Due to the factual nature of reports, they would not normally include the writer`s opinion. c) What are the main elements of a report and their functions? d) What are the extra elements of a report? What are the functions of references, recommendations and appendices? TECHNICAL REPORT FORMAT TO: Who is the report to, may include contact info FROM: Your name here (sign your INITIALS), may include contact info DATE: Today`s date here with month written out SUBJECT: Brief description of content (a title basically) Introduction The introduction should contain: Relevant background material to give the reader context and justify the report. Any goals, objectives, or hypotheses that the report is addressing. Tell the reader why you are writing this report. Methods The methods section should contain enough information so that a reader familiar with the discipline could reproduce what was done. It also gives the reader all the necessary information to place the results in appropriate context. This includes information on the Where: Where was the work done and what are the characteristics of the study sites? When: When was it done? Be specific. What: What was done? The reader needs just enough information to be able to reproduce what you did. How: How did you do what was done? Were there any specific methods used? Use terminology. Reference any relevant publications that describe methods you used. Who: Who did the work? This is often implicit from the FROM line at the beginning, but you may wish to indicate the size of the field crew who assisted with data collection. Results Describe what was learned, using data whenever possible. Use tables and graphs as appropriate. The results section describes the data but does not make any inferences based upon your data. Only include what the data actually say, not what they mean. What they mean goes in the discussion section. 1

2 31. Read the introduction of a report. Give a comment on it: a) Who is the target audience of this report? b) What is the purpose of this report? c) What is the content of this report? Report on light water nuclear reactors 1 Introduction As of 1983, there are approximately five hundred nuclear power plants in operation or under construction worldwide. These plants can produce as much as megawatts of electricity. These nuclear power plants can be categorized into four types: light water reactors, heavy water reactors, gas-cooled reactors 2, and breeder reactors 3. Regardless of the type, nuclear power plants operate by having a central unit, called the core, in which nuclear fission reactions take place and produce heat. A liquid, called the coolant, flows through the system and absorbs the heat produced in the core. The coolant is then converted into steam that drives a turbogenerator to produce electricity. The purpose of this report is to present the basic design, operation and safety measures of light water reactors to the Association of U.S. City Councils, which is currently investigating alternatives to coal-fired production of electricity. This report provides high-level detail on the two types of light water reactors, their design, operation, and their safety and economic aspects. Although their operation does involve complex chemistry and physics, these topics will be minimized. The four parts of this report discuss: Design and operation of light water reactors Safety measures employed Economic aspects of light water reactors 32. Read the report below. Work in pairs and discuss ideas for its improvement. Take into consideration text organization, accurate presentation of purpose, etc. Progress report TO: Professional Intern Program (PIP) Coordinator FROM: Intern`s Organization SUBJECT: PIP 3-Month Level I Progress report This is a brief report of my experience, work responsibilities, and training progress since joining the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) on the 31 st of August, 2016 as an electronics engineer. I am part of an effort to investigate fiber optic technologies. This Fiber Optic Data Bus System is an attempt to provide a specification and definition of fiber optic bus capability and its usefulness in future applications. Within a group of engineers and technicians, my task involves learning and implementing actual fiber optic portion of the system, such as analyzing optical power budget. Initially, learning about this technology was not difficult because most of the reading materials required only basic math and physics on optics. Applications of the optical components were understandable since their specifications were quite clear. I have attended the New Employee Welcome training. The first session was given on September 3, 2016, and the speakers included the Center Director and the Director of Management Operations. Last month I attended a 4-day training course on Fiber Optics. During the first week of April I am scheduled to attend the Career Transition Workshop. The transition from being a full-time student to a full-time employee has been smooth and my mentor, Jake Taurus, has been particularly helpful in explaining procedures and policies and guiding me in my work assignments. I have experienced a difficulty. I have had difficulty in obtaining access to the personal computer in our branch.
