Answer to Question 1

Answer: A business report contains three sections: the introduction (or opening), the body, and the close. The introduction puts the report in context for the reader, introduces the subject, previews main ideas, and establishes the tone. The body presents, analyzes, and interprets the information gathered. The close summarizes and reviews the key points.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Compared to less formal documents, formal reports generally include sentences that are longer and more rigorous, as well as objective, dispassionate, and precise language. They also avoid humor and idiomatic language. A more formal tone is appropriate for longer reports, especially those that deal with controversial or complex information. You also need a more formal tone when your report will be sent to other parts of the organization or to outsiders, such as customers, suppliers, or members of the community.
