Business English: Writing a Report
Writing a report is the B2 structured-document business-writing skill. The worksheet covers the standard report architecture (Executive Summary, Introduction, Findings, Analysis, Recommendations, Conclusion), section-specific language conventions, and the neutral-analytical register that institutional reports require. Learners build the formal-document writing skill every B2 professional needs.
This worksheet builds B2 fluency with business-report writing.

Common challenges: Findings-vs-recommendations distinction at B2 — findings describe what is; recommendations propose what should be. Neutral-analytical voice: minimising opinion in findings, expressing it explicitly in recommendations. Executive-summary compression: condensing the entire report into 150 words.
