I had collected some tips on report writing and I would like to put it here in my blog so that it will be visible to the readers. I had read a lot of tips but it seems all of those have the same outputs and so far,   these are the sum up of among those I had gathered. I hope this will give some ideas to those individuals seeking knowledge on report writing.  I got this tips from “yourdictionary.com” it mentions here that;

Tips for Better Writing

(1) Keep the tone of your writing positive.
(2) writes in an active voice instead of passive voice because, active voice gives impact to your writing and makes sentences easier to understand. 
(3) Use transitions between paragraphs so that, the writing flows are unified. (4) Use different kinds of sentences, like compound, complex, interrogative, and others to make the reporting comprehensive. Try not to start them all in the same tone.
(5) Avoid using same words refers to thesaurus for similar meaning. This will make your report interesting.
(6) Make it concise and direct to the topic.

Tips for Good Writing

These tips are according to Phil Bartle Ph.D, a well known Sociologist; here are some tips for good writing;

 (1) Keep it simple. Do not try to impress rather try to communicate. Keep the sentences short and direct to the point. Avoid going into a lot of details unless it is necessary. Just mention words that will contribute to the purpose of the writing. 
(2) Use an active voice rather than passive voice. Active voice makes the writing   smoothly and easy to understand. 
(3) Good grammar and punctuation is important. Let someone proofread your writing, keeping in mind computer can not check all the mistakes, especially with words like “right, write” or “there, their” or   “red, read”.
