3. Read and translate the article. 

      В бизнесе планирование и написание  отчетов, составление сводок и заметок  являются важными навыками, которыми должен обладать каждый. Нам свойственно писать отчеты, только по просьбе руководителя или вышестоящего лица. Многие люди боятся писать отчеты. Причем безосновательно. Часто вопрос лишь в том, что нужно остановиться и поразмыслить над тем, что нужно сделать, а затем сделать это. Это вопрос практики.

      Важно помнить, что есть несколько видов  отчетов. Они могут быть большими и краткими, официальными и неофициальными, а также устными и письменными, например:

      а) обсуждения

      б) письма

      в) докладные записки

      г) специальные формы

      д) отдельные документы на нескольких страницах

      Отчеты  могут служить различным целям. Есть отчеты, которые информируют, отчеты, которые предоставляют необходимую информацию, помогающую принять решение о чем-то, а есть отчеты, которые содержат в себе рекомендации или определяют дальнейшие действия.

      Вы  должны многое сделать перед тем, как даже подумаете о том, чтобы  «написать» или набросать отчет. Вначале нужно подготовить или подобрать материал, а затем спланировать, как вы собираетесь писать отчет. Подготовка и написание отчета проходит в 4 стадии:

1. Подбор материала
2. Планирование отчета
3. Написание «чернового» отчета
4. Завершение отчёта

      Каждый  отчёт – на бумаге – имеет три основные «части», которые должны включать четыре (иногда пять и даже шесть) ключевых элемента:

                      Части                                                     Элементы

                                               Компетенция и цели

                    Введение                                   Процедура

                

                    Основная часть отчета      ---- Результаты 

                  Заключительная часть                                   Выводы

                                                                          (Рекомендации, если требуются)

                                                                          (Приложения)

      Такая структура должна присутствовать в каждом отчете. В некоторых случаях вам, возможно, понадобится добавить в конце такие элементы, как приложения и др.  

In business, planning and writing reports, making summaries and taking notes are important skills, which may be expected of everyone. We tend only to write reports when we are asked to, usually by our boss or superior. Many people are afraid of writing reports. There is no good reason for this. It’s often simply a question of stopping and thinking about what it is you have to do and then doing it. And it is a question of practice.

It is important to remember that there are several types of report. They can be long, short, formal or informal and they can be spoken or written as:

1. Conversations
2. Letters
3. Memos
4. special forms
5. separate documents of several pages

Reports can serve various purposes. There are reports, which inform, reports, which provide background information to help someone make up their mind about something and there are reports which in themselves make recommendations or indicate a course of action.

There are many things you should do before you even think about ‘writing’ or drafting the report. You should first prepare or assemble your material and then plan how you are going to write the report. The preparation and writing of a report falls into four stages:

1 Assembling the material

5. Planning the report
6. Drafting the report
7. Ending the reports

Any report – on the page – has three main ‘parts’, which must include four (sometimes five even six) essential elements:

                      Parts                                                     Elements

                                                                          Terms of reference or objective

                    Introduction                                   Procedure

                

                    Body of the report      -------------- Findings 

                  Final section                                   Conclusions

                                                                          (Recommendations if asked for)

                                                                          (Appendices)

This structure should be evident in every report. In some cases you may need to have elements such as appendices, etc. at the end.

Dear Sir / Madam
