There is no one way to write a good report. There are a variety of things you can do in order to make your report more user-friendly attractive, more interesting, and more likely to be read to the end.
Write a title that is clear and concise and explains the subject of your report. Avoid using words that are too technical for your audience. For academic reports, it is recommended to study the research literature before writing your report to ensure that you are presenting your data in a correct manner. This will improve the credibility of your report and decrease the possibility that your research may have been influenced by bias.
Use real-world examples and anecdotes and stories to bring your report to life. This will make your report more interesting and engaging for your audience. It can also make a huge difference in the way that readers comprehend the report. Avoid passive language whenever it is possible. Instead of ‘a choice has been made’, write ‘we’ve decided to’.
Once you’ve finished your report, you should consider editing it at the sentence or phrase level with a program like Wordtune which can identify grammar, punctuation and spelling errors as well as suggesting modifications to sentence structure that can improve clarity and impact. It’s also worth asking your colleague to read the report to gain further understanding and proofreading before it is sent out for distribution. This will ensure that the report is as precise and as impartial as you can and conforms to the guidelines for style and format of your employer or academic institution.
