IMPORTANT TIPS FOR WRITING REPORTS
Your final submission after any project is the report. It gives a clear idea of your performance at the onset and during the task, thus making it valuable at appraisals.
At your workplace, always ensure that you follow the work-manual when it comes to report-writing. You are free to change the order and nature of some of the sections but make sure that you do not skip entire sections.
General Reading
Draft a clear internal outline to ensure equal and systematic distribution of all tasks and that no resource is spent in repetitive work. At the same time, ensure that you have adequate time to review the work done by others and yourself. Furthermore, be open to any revisions in favor of the assignment.
Always be economical about the details you include in your report. A short, crisp report which does not beat around the bush is the best, as it provides a clear picture at first glance. At the same time, it must not be so objective that inference about the task, the team, or both, becomes difficult.
Avoid jargon. Using too many technical terms may confuse team members and even the person evaluating your report.
Always read your report prior to submission for absolute clarity and comprehension. You may perhaps identify undesirable confusions as you read yourself. Also, proofread for grammatical accuracies such as punctuation and capitalisation, spellings and tense.
Always use the past tense to evaluate reports, and the future tense to indicate possibilities of outcome or implementation for the future. Such content must necessarily be placed before or at the conclusion of your report. Use lucid writing to avoid any possible misinterpretation or distortion of facts.
Headers and bullet points can be used to organise different parts of the report. Formatting must be formal regarding font style and size.
Do not introduce new topics at the end of your report. It creates confusion.
Do not try to justify through the presented report. A good report is one which states facts and not arguments in favour of or against the topic.

Questions 14-21
Complete the summary below.
Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the text for each answer.
Write the correct answer in the gap.
The report must include all the 15 ____________ ; however, the sequence can be altered in some. While a review of the work done is important, 16___________ work should be avoided through fair distribution of tasks. A clear and to the point report is advisable over a lengthy but vague report. However, it should not be so short that it becomes impossible to draw an 17_________ .
Also, 18__________ should be avoided to keep the report comprehensible for the assessor. Proper organisation in a report is achieved through the use of 19___________ and bullet points. Any suggestion for the future should be mentioned in, or before the 20 _________ , but no new topic should be introduced at this point. Before submitting the report, reading it is of utmost importance to eliminate any ambiguity as well as to remove 21_________ errors, for example, incorrect punctuation or tenses.

HOW TO GET A WORK PERMIT FOR SOME COUNTRY
Nonimmigrants in Some countries, such as student visa holders or B1(visit for pleasure) visa holders, must have an Employment Approval Document (EAD) to be employed in the country. The EAD is provided by the National Citizenship and Immigration Services (NSAIS). The citizens, permanent residents, and employees authorized to work for foreign employers need NOT apply for EAD.
The EAD can be renewed for those already having the work permit. A procedure has to be followed for renewal of the EAD or replacement of a misplaced or lost EAD.
