MY PPISMP 3.08

Hi dear,

For this week, we are supposed to cover on writing a report of an event. Here are some points to ponder while writing your report:


- Use formal and inpersonal language.

- Be objective and factual. Avoid writing personal feelings and overly descripted language.

- Be clear and organise the information.


As other form of writing, your article should also be divided into Introduction/ Body/ Conclusion. In an event report you should write according to these paragraphs.


Introduction: Briefly describe the event and the background for the event. Include date, place, time, any VIPs, the audiences, the theme or any other points that you think should be included.

Body: Where you decribe the events step by step. You can move to new paragraph when there's changes of time, place or in chronological form.

Conclusion: To the end, you are supposed to sum up what you have written in the main part. Then, you can include your opinion or evaluation of the event and what you actually learned.

So for your weekly assignment, I want you to write an event report about the 55th Independence Day Celebration that you were involved in. Please report on the event NOT about your role in the event. You can do this in pairs. Please send to me via email by 19th September 2012. Sorry to miss your class.. really miss all of you.
