Reports - The Recommendation Section

  • Reports - The Recommendation Section

Aim:
This exercise is to help you to write the 'Recommendations' section of a report.

Language Points:
This section of the report has two parts:

  1. Busy managers may only read the recommendations, so the finding that leads to each recommendation should be given.
  2. For reports with multiple recommendations, numbered sub-headings make the organisation clearer.
  3. Useful language includes verbs such as recommend, suggest, and propose, passive voice, and modal verbs such as should and could.

Instructions:

  • Read the words in the following box.
  • When you have finished, click the 'Start Exercise' button. The words will disappear, and each letter will be replaced by an underline.
  • Fill in the box with a word that you think was in the text. Use your memory and your knowledge of grammar and sentence structure to help you.
  • Then either press 'Enter' or click the ? button beside the box to check if the word is correct.
  • Continue until you have re-built the complete text.
  • You can use the Tips buttons below the text if you need help, but this will reduce your score.

 

5 . Recommendations

Due to the lack of places for post - graduate students during economic slowdowns and the number of students who drop out of full - time post - graduate study if they are offered employment , a more flexible system is recommended .

5 . 1 Lack of places

Given the lack of places for post - graduate students , it is suggested that a variety of modes of study could be used . Further investigations into the possibilities of distance and online learning are recommended .

5 . 2 Reducing the drop - out rate

In the light of the finding that students drop out of post - graduate study if they find a job , it is proposed that students should be allowed to convert from full - time to part - time studies , and that they should be given longer to complete their courses .
