Activity

What does the word Introduction mean?

To make something or someone known to

someone.

Why would we use an Introduction in the reports we are writing?

.

Before we read the full report an introduction gives us a brief two or three sentences understanding to what the report is about.

Let us look at an example

For Example

Let’s go back and think about our Pele

Report.

The Life of Mr. Michael Report - Page 1

Family

I have one younger sister called Deirdre. Deirdre is married to Darren and they have two beautiful girls called Emilie and Abagail. My mother’s name is Denise and my father’s name is Raymond. I am married to Avril and she is a school teacher in Al Ain. Avril is very cross and gives her students lots of homework.

Hobbies

I love to go mountain-climbing, especially in the summer time when the weather is not too cold. I bring enough food and water with me to last the day and I walk on the mountain for hours. Ireland has really nice beautiful countryside.

I love coffee. Every weekend, I go to a different coffee shop in Al Ain to try their coffee. So far, my favourite is Caribou in Al Ain Mall.

Introduction

Will you help me write my introduction?First let’s read my whole report and then we write the

introduction.

The Life of Mr. Michael Report- Page 2

Most of my friends live back home in Ireland. Martin Kelly is my best friend and we both have the same hobbies. We like mountain-walking, music and helping others at different times, Martin and I worked in Africa helping poor people by building houses for them. We helped to build hospitals too. Martin is a really great friend. He is caring, kind and funny. He always plays pranks on me. My other friends are Bob and Dan the Pilot.

Friends

I have many hopes and dreams for the future. I hope that I am healthy and that I continue to eat healthy foods and take exercise. I hope that Ireland will win the Six Nations as I am a big rugby fan. I hope that I will learn how to play a musical instrument.

My dream is that my wife and I will be healthy and happy together for many years to come. I dream of having kids someday too! I think being a father will sometimes be difficult it will be worth it. I am really looking forward to it.
