Dear Students,

Today we take a look at other forms of compositions, namely reports, including ac counts to the police, speeches and articles.

They are popularly known as situational compositions and are set in Part One of Paper 1. Usually about 200 words are required.

Please don't think learning these forms of compositions is “useless” in daily life; on the contrary, it is really useful not only in passing examinations -- your prime concern these days: (2)

but also in your future career, whatever it may be. I can assure you, you'll sooner or later encounter one of these foms of compositions or written communications directly or indirectly;

C' Let's consider them one by one.

PARTICLES

There is no special form of an article as a letter or a report has. You may as well treat "articles in the form of essays — this is a paint. which is worth nothing, because many. can- didates wrote in the form of a letter, and not as a question in a past certificate paper, re- quired, an article for a school magazine.

It is the way in which an article is written that really matters. An “article” means; literal- ly, a complete piece of writing in a newspaper. or a periodical.” Thus you can see that it can be expository, 'narrative, argumentative, or anything similar.

So you have to be extremely careful when you're asked to write an article”. You must ascertain what it is all about, say, whether it is . an article for your school newspaper explaining the reasons for holding a fund-raising show for adeserving:cause, or an article for an English magazine describing a recent school event:

Another thing you have to bear in mind is that you should pay some attention to what your prospective readers are. An article written | Pfor your school newspaper is quite different in Hits content from one written for the general

:public.

REPORTS

As far as language skill is concerned, re- ports are relatively easy, because the language used is usually very straightforward. (A report is not an opportunity for one to show off one's command of language; it's meant to be accurate and direct.) They require, however, a fotinat which should be followed, and certain rules to be adhered to.

Reports generally fall inder two categories. One comprises what is called “special reports"; The other is made up of less detailed reports which can be of the following types:

1. Routine reports:

These are regular reports for which there is usually a precedent. A large project which lasts for several months may require. reports to be prepared, say, every month, Thus, specially prepared forms and usually used and the writer is faced with a com- paratively easy duty for which he only bas to do the "filling in".

2. Eye-witness reports/accounts for the police

These accounts for the police can be. set in the HKCEE.. Actually there have been a few sample questions on this topic issued by the Education Department. There are some points which you have to. note when you're writing these reports, sometimes called statements:;

(a) You should include your name, iden-

tity, address and telephone number fif applicable) if you are the witness. In this way the police can contact you when necessary.

(b) You should also give the time and

Location (as precise us-you can afford): of the event that hus taken place. Mention any person that you've seen, at that time whom you think will be in some way related to the event happened.

(c) Your、account.should be accurate

clear): precise and unhiased. The last point is very important.

(d) It usually helps in case of an accident to draw a simple diagram to show the positions of the vehicles involved before you begin to write the states ment

3.

Oral reports

These reports are usually presented

二期星

during meetings. These are in some ways. similar to speeches, e.g. being made for

: easy oral presentation, and hence should be prepared in a way that is readily.com. prehensible to listeners.

On the other hand, special reports have different forms, each designed to suit a particular situation. or purpose: (a) The schematic form

A clear presentation is adopted in this' form. The report is divided into a number of chapters, each under a division heading. Thus the information. of data to be presented are clearly classified into categories. so that the readers can easily find what they want; or distinguish what is fact and what is deduction, recommendation or con- clusion. Government reports are most. ly written in this form.

(b). The letter form

This type of report is not much different from a formal/business letter: It is used when only a simple thing is to be reported because its format does not allow complex data to be clearly and intensively presented. (c) The short/summary report.

Indeed it has the same format as a report in the schematic form. The only difference is, as its name implies, its short Jength, In some instances, a writer of a full report in schematic form will be called upon to do a sum- mary of his report. Then he'll have to select prominent features in his full report to be included in his simmary

one:

(d) The mixed form

It starts off as a letter. But when the mainbody is reached, ihe. when the. information or data are presented, it changes to adopt. the schematic pre- sentation. It dften happens that head- ings.. sub-headings and numbering of these are included. At the end of the report the writer once again return to a letter style. This form is used when "the length of the material reported. falls between that of a full schematic report and that of one in the letter form.

| EXAMPLE

A full report in schematic presentation will definitely be beyond our present scope; but if you'd like to have a look of it, you can always refer to one of those Government reports, obtainable in your school library or an Urban .. Council library.

A short mixed-form report, however, is

The General Manager. Saugmann Electronics Ltd., 26 Boundary Street, Kowloon.

Dear Sir,

PERSONAL TITLES IN BUSINESS LETTERS

:The committee appointed by Mr. P.L: Lite study the use of personal titles in business letters found that the subject. is amply treated in many sources, most of which concur.

DEFINITION

This report deals with personal titles that are commonly used in business let- ters, like Professor, Reverend, Doctor, Dean, Miss, Mr., Mrs. and so on. This report does not concern social letters or titles of rank, job, or position.

FINDINGS

A personal title of some kind should always be used before a personal name that occurs in any part of a business letter other than in the signer's typed identification, which most often does not include a personal title.

2. Two titles, Mr. and Mrs. are always abbreviated.

3. In addresses, personal tities other than Mr. and Mrs. are written in full only when the last name is given alone, with neither a first name nor an initial; if either is given, the title is ab. breviated (if it is one that can be):

-- 4. In a salutation, personal titles other than Mr. and Mrs. may be either abbreviated or typed in full, as a writer may prefer. The trend is toward the short form

S. In the body, personal titles other than. Mr. and Mrs, should be abbreviated

if either a first name or initial is given with the last name; if neither is given, the title may be abbreviated or typed in full, as the writer may prefer,

***** 6. In the typed signature, a man does not indicate his personal: title unless his first name could be confused with that of a woman. An unmarried woman does not indicate Miss unless. her first name could be confused with that of a.

man. A married woman may (and some

authorities say should have the personal

title, Mrs., typed before her name.

Yours faithfully,

Thomas A. Allerton Chairman.

If the inside address, the salutation and the ending are omitted, this report becomes a short report in the schematic form

The body of this report is meant to bea teaching aid to letter writing. It gives a deepcr treatment of personal titles in business letters.

SPEECHES

The way of preparing for a speechraud of delivering it is not so much our concern now.. We are only interested in how to prepare the text ofa written speech.

The main point in writing the written text is to keep-the language natural because the speech is written for listeners and not readers. Moreover, you should keep your sentences short, for long ones may cause difficulty in understanding on the part of the audience.

Your planning should be no different from that for essays, and it can, for this particular purpose, be classified into the following: steps.

Know what the purpose of the speech is.

Select the subject matter.

2.

4.

Analyse the occasion and, the audience to determine the tone of the specch.

Outline your material.

Any speech should consist of the three essential parts: the introduction, thebody and the conchusion

A good and lively introduction will easily impress your audience and give them a clear. idea of what your speech will be ail. about. The body of the speech is what you intend to convey to your listeners and ttus should have the basic qualities pinpointed abpye. The conclusion may take oneof the methods of concluding outlined as follows:

(a)-Summarising or restating the main

.... points you have raised. (b) Pinpointing the conclusions inferred

from your previous argument. (c) Paying your listeners a sincere.com.

pliment.ph

(d) Appealing for action, if the :purpose of your speech. is to interest your faudience in a cause, e.g. attending a

fund-raising concert.
