There are five main points that you need to have when writing a report: these are
1 Title of your report ( Report into ...)
2 Terms of Reference ( a brief introduction of the content of the report)
3 procedures ( how you researched you information for the report)
4 Findings (facts of the discussion)
5 Conclusion (your opinion)

You may want to add any refrences to any books or quotes that you have used, remember when you are writing the findings the information is based on facts always refer to the third person never you him, her of I. Hope this helps

The main thing to remember with all examinations is to answer the question set! Clues as to the layout and what is expected in the content are always in the question.

The first thing to do is to read the question carefully and be sure that you understand what the examiner wants.

That said, reports should all have a logical layout.

PLAN YOUR ANSWER - often people run out of time in examinations of this type. A logical plan laying out the structure and your main ideas can help to gain extra marks if this happens to you. It also helps you to organise your report and to make sure that you ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Introduction.

What the report is about, and what you aim to do. E.g compare weather patterns between two geographically remote areas and explain the difference in geographic terms.

Main Section.

In scientific reports this is split into:

Method - detailing the experiments carried out and what you hope to prove

and

Results


In more general reports such as history or geography reports this section should contain the results of your research or comparison or what ever the report is about.

Remember to ensure that you address all the points in the question.

Conclusion

In this section you should tie up all your results and explain what they mean. Tell the examiner what you have learned. State the obvious. If your results section proves that water boils at 100oC say it, if you find that it rains more in Norwich than Plymouth then say it and WHY.

Try and end with a short paragraph giving your own consise views on what you have learned.

Good luck!

From http://www.ststephenscoorparoo.org.au/Baptism/Study01.htm
....

The Good News of Christ Declared
Jesus’ command to his disciples to go out into the world and help people become followers of him was symbolised in the practice of baptism. Baptism was a way in which people who have responded to the good news of Christ could declare their acceptance of God’s grace and their submission to Jesus Christ as Lord.

The “promise of eternal life” (relationship with God now and forever) through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, is symbolised in the baptismal washing with water. There is usually a Bible Reading and an exposition of the Christian good news to preface the Baptism and explain its meaning.

To understand the symbol (baptism) you must comprehend its meaning – the offer of relationship with God through the work of Jesus Christ.

The Baptismal Vows
The candidate for baptism (or the sponsors if an infant is being presented) is invited to make a public response to God:

“I ask you now to stand, and, in the presence of your sponsors and of this whole congregation, to make your response to the promise of forgiveness of sins and eternal life held out to you by Jesus Christ.” [ii]

The candidate then makes the baptismal vows of repentance, faith and obedience. These are the defining commitments of a Christian towards God. We will study them in this book.

The Baptism with Water
The candidate may be immersed in the water or receive sprinkling. The baptism or washing is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit – the Trinitarian revelation of God in the Bible.

The baptised person is signed (with water) in the sign of the cross: “to show that you will not be ashamed to confess the faith of Christ crucified, and to fight bravely under his banner against sin, the world and the devil, and to continue Christ’s faithful soldier and servant to your life’s end.”

Prayers
Prayers are offered for the baptised disciple to walk in the Spirit, obeying Jesus and serving him.

Proper understanding of Baptism requires us to see how these four components reinforce the meaning of the service.

The Sixth Sense was fab - was that a thriller? To me it was. The main things I like are suspense, twists and unpredictability - I hate the type of movie where you guess halfway through what the outcome its. The sixth sense really kept me gripped, and the twist at the end was totally unexpected - to me anyway!

All i need to no, is if you belive in God, and one reason why. Also, if you could give a name that you'd like to be known by (feel more than free to make it up at random), then i'll be gratefull (otherwise, i'll give you random names myself!)

Thanks x xAbi, you can quote me if you like :D

I don't believe in God, if he did, why does he allow child abusers and paedophiles live in the same world as us (for one reason but there are many others) Feel free to call me Em on there too :D

I do not believe in God.

Among the many reasons I could give would be religious wars - would a God really allow so many people to die needlessly in His/Her name?

I believe in God

Among the reason are that I have been raised a catholic and I believe that we will go to a better place and be reunited with our loved ones who have passed before us, also I think i am a more calmer and loving person by allowing God into my heart.

I not sure if there is a God but I do believe there is someone watching over us all.. Maybe there is more than one God like they believed in before, gods for each feeling/thing, like god of love, god of war, destiny and faith..

I don't believe in God because I haven't been brought up that way and that there is so many horrible thins happening in the world, wars, bullying, murder etc, and I don't think this would happen if there was a god watching over us.

Make up a name if you want, otherwise just refer to me as Kim.

I dont really believe in God because of all the horrible things that are happening in the world, Hurricanes, earthquakes etc but i do think that we are on the planet for a purpose and Something must have put us here.

you need to talk about the different shot and music use to create the scenes example long shot close up of the actors face to show that they are scared happy crying etc or overhead shot or you have extreme close up etc
then music is like in a horor film music speeds up to create tension and suspense kk hope you get it a little we did a esay on media with the sixth sense xx

I had to do a whole piece of PE coursework on this!! I did a netballer

First think about if this is a professional runner. They would train more than a person who just wants to get fit. Secondaly, choose if it would be a long or short distance runner, or if it would be a mixture of both. Long distnace runners would need to have a programme which built up the length and difficulty. Short distance runners would want to keep the same kind of length, but would have to be given targets or something on how fast it needs to be completed. Once you've decided these things, it will be easier.

As for the do's and don'ts, well if this is a person wanting to get fit, then it would have to start very steadily and slowly, then gradually build up over several weeks. A pro would be able to start at a high standard and quickly improve. You would have to overload the players. I dunno if you've heard of that term, but it basically means streching the players ability. Do make the training harder as you go on. Don't expect too much

Also, if you have a long time ot do this homework like i did, then consider doing it yourself. A trial is the best thing to do so that you know how realistic it is.

hope that helped!

Can it be made up? The one we did was.
You could put about what you think you could give to the placement and why they would benefit from employing you.
Why you think the audience would like you and what sort of things you would do in awkward situations.

ok thanks for the suggestion, ill have a think about it :) i actually didnt write the exact quote down its "nobody said it would be this easy, nobody said it would be this hard, so do, do, do i really want to". also it cant be more than 30secs long and no props/costumes/music etc are allowed

15-02-2006, 21:13

ok ive come up with an idea (partly with help from rain and her crying suggestion! :)) and id like peoples opinions on it. i thought i could do something to do with an audition or show, and the easy part could be where im able to do dancing or something really well and i find it easy, but the hard part is being able to perform it in front of people cos of getting nervous and then not really wanting to do it (do you understand what i mean?), so then it comes onto the part that although i like dancing do i really want to do it as a career in front of people? so what do you all think? and please tell me if its rubbish!

Tell your sister she is wrong. I am sure you can do it. It will be difficult but "noone said it was easy..." :D

i have to write an essay on the 1989 californian earthquake i have done about the cypress freeway what else can i do

Abi
16-02-2006, 17:03
General Info about the earthquake (cause):
- how large it was on the richter scale
- the exact location of it
- the epicentre
- the type of plate boundary it occureed on, and their names

Effects:
- cost to repair damage
- amount of casualties
- the long term damages (economy, unemployment rates, homeless for more than one month etc)
- short term damages (water supplies, communication etc)

Dont know if thats much help to you, but make sure you apply all those things, plus any of information that only concerned that one earthquake, and you'll have quick a good essay.

thanks ive got that all written dow i was thinking of two violins that can play high notes, and a cello to do creepy low long notes then lots of bangs. That should do.

Is the best way to create a climax by getting louder and louder, or should it just stop.

Louder and louder but if you want people to think that something is going to be creepy but it just something innocent, stop suddenly. For example, if someone sees a shadow or something in a corner and they go to it, the music gets louder and louder but when they approach it is just something innocent like a cat or a coat, then stop the music
