Module
2: Informal Reports
You will notice several web
pages associated with
this unit. That is because we will cover not only informal reports,
but also several grammar/usage issues. Also, you absolutely MUST read
the "Structure" webpage because that is the informal report
structure we will use. Also, the "Sample Reports" page will
give you some examples of that structure in use.
