Descripción automática: In this video, from the Department of Applied Linguistics discusses how to write a business report. She outlines the importance of understanding the report's structure, considering the reader, employing relevant language features, and selecting an appropriate style. The presenter emphasizes that a typical short business report consists of four sections: an introduction with objectives, a body analyzing the problem, a conclusion, and recommendations.

The reader's identity is crucial as it influences the report's content, format, language, and style. The presenter suggests using simple language and staying concise to cater to busy business professionals. The style should suit the reader's level within the organization, ranging from formal for senior managers to more direct for junior colleagues.

Language features such as linking words and compound nouns are recommended to enhance understanding. Impersonal forms like passive voice are often utilized in formal reports. The presenter advises matching the writing style to the intended audience, using plain English, short sentences, and clear paragraphs, and avoiding jargon unless the reader is a specialist.

Finally, she outlines a three-stage approach to writing: preparation, including defining the report's purpose and organizing information; writing the text; and editing, including checking grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style. Creative illustrations or diagrams can be helpful in some cases. Reading the report aloud is suggested for gaining a fresh perspective. Overall, she stresses the importance of clarity, the reader's perspective, simplicity in language, and a systematic approach to the writing process.
