2. Read and translate the article.

     In business, planning and writing reports, making summaries and taking notes are important skills, which may be expected of everyone. We tend only to write reports when we are asked to, usually by our boss or superior. Many people are afraid of writing reports. There is no good reason for this. It’s often simply a question of stopping and thinking about what it is you have to do and then doing it. And it is a question of practice.

     It is important to remember that there are several types of report. They can be long, short, formal or informal and they can be spoken or written as:

1. conversations
2. letters
3. memos
4. special forms
5. separate documents of several pages

Reports can serve various purposes. There are reports, which inform, reports, which provide background information to help someone make up their mind about something and there are reports which in themselves make recommendations or indicate a course of action.

     There are many things you should do before you even think about ‘writing’  or drafting the report. You should first prepare or assemble your material and then plan how you are going to write the report. The preparation and writing of a report falls into four stages:

1 Assembling the material

1. Planning the report
2. Drafting the report
3. Ending the reports

Any report – on the page – has three main ‘parts’, which must include four (sometimes five even six) essential elements:

•             

•              Parts                                                                                      Elements

•   Terms of reference or objective

            Introduction                                                                           Procedure

                

                            Body of the report      -------------- Findings

            Final section                                                                       Conclusions

                                     (Recommendations if asked for)

                                                   (Appendices) 


     This structure should be evident in every report. In some cases you may need to have elements such as appendices, etc. at the end.  


     В бизнесе  планирование и написание докладов, составление обзоров  и заметок –  важный навык, который  требуется от каждого. Обычно, мы пишем  отчеты, когда нас  просят об этом или непосредственный начальник или вышестоящее начальство. Многие боятся писать отчеты. Для этого нет никаких оснований. Дольше думаем о том, что нам это надо сделать, чем делаем. Это вопрос практики.

     Важно помнить, что существует несколько типов  докладов. Они могут быть длинными, короткими, официальными и неофициальными, устными и письменными, такими как:

а) переговоры

б) письмо

в) памятки

г) специальные формы

д) отдельные документы  на несколько страниц.

     Доклады могут преследовать различные цели. Могут  быть информационные доклады. Доклады, которые вводят в курс проблемы, и помогают составить мнение о проблеме. Отчеты, которые сами по себе являются рекомендациями или являются руководством к действию.

     Надо  подумать о множестве  вещей даже прежде, чем подумать о том что бы писать доклад. Надо прежде всего собрать или подготовить материал вашего доклада и затем составить план , как вы собираетесь писать доклад. Подготовка и написание доклада состоит из следующих этапов:

1) подготовка материала

2) составление плана доклада

3) написание  доклада

4) завершение доклада

     Любой доклад – даже на одну страничку –  должен состоять из 3-х  частей, которые должны включать в себя 4( иногда 5 или даже иногда 6 ) необходимых  элементов:

Части	Элементы
	Терминология, цели и задачи.
введение	процедура
собственно  доклад	Заключения
заключение	выводы
	рекомендации, если требуется
	приложения

     Эта структура должна соблюдаться в  любом докладе. В  некоторых случаях  необходимо иметь  такие части, как  приложение и т.д. в заключении. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


3. Use the words below to complete the letter. Use each item once only. 


     However  - grateful – mentioned – current issue – eligible for – package       holidays – additional charge – look forward to – send me information – under what circumstances – particularly interested – With reference to

  

   Dear Sir / Madam

(1) With reference to your advertisement in the (2) current issue of “Summer Holiday” magazine. Could you please (3) send me information about the holidays you offer in the United States? I am (4) particularly interested in your (5) package to California and Florida.

In your advertisement you state that there are reduced prices for children but it is not clear (6) under what circumstances these reductions can be obtained. We are a family of four, with two adults and two children, aged 10 and 16. Could you tell me whether my 16 – year – old child would still be (7) eligible for a reduction or if he is now classed as an adult?

Your advertisement also (8) mentioned that a free hire car was included in the holidays in the United States.  (9) However, there was no information about insurance. I would be (10) grateful, therefore, if you could inform me whether this is included or not. If it is not, I would like to know how much the (11) holidays – additional charge would be.

I hope you will be able to answer my queries. I (12) look forward to hearing from you. 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Yours sincerely
