FIVE PRINCIPLES OF GOO TECHNICAL WRITINGS

1) Always have in mind a specific reader, real or imaginary when you are writing a report; and always assume that this reader is intelligent, but uninformed.

2)Before you start to write, always that decide what the exact purpose of your report is; and make sure that every paragraph, every sentence, every word, makes a clear contribution to that purpose, and make it at the right time.

3)Use language that is simple, concrete and familiar.

4)At the beginning and end of every section of your report check your writing according to this principle. First you tell your readers what you are going to tell them and then you tell them what you have told to them.

5)Make your report attractive to look at.
