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:
- Busy managers may only read the recommendations, so the finding that leads to each recommendation should be given.
- For reports with multiple recommendations, numbered sub-headings make the organisation clearer.
- 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 . |
