REPORTS

When we write an assessment report we divide it into three parts: introduction, main body and conclusion.

·         In the introduction we clearly state the purpose of the report.
- The aim of this report is to asses the suitability of Blue Water Campsite, Lake
   Winning, for families with young children..
- As requested, I have visited the one of sport centres in the city. The purpose of this  
  report is to asses its suitability of ‘Fitness for All’ for older people.
- As instructed, I have visited ‘Maxwell’s‘, the new restaurant in Firth Street. The
  purpose of this report is to asses its suitability for families

- The purpose of this report is to suggest ways to attract more young customers to the bookshop.

·         In the main body we present each main topic in a new paragraph with an appropriate heading. We discuss the positive and negative aspects (if there are any) of each feature. The number of paragraphs depends on the number of main topics.

·         In the conclusion we give our overall impression and make our recommendation.
- The facilities at … are good and there are many activities for adults and older
  children. However, there are no special facilities or activities for the younger age
  group. Therefore, it is my opinion that Blue … campsite is not suitable for families
  with young chidren.
- To sum up, the ‘Jazzy’s’ has a number a positive aspect such as lovely décor, terrific
   atmosphere and music. However drinks are a little bit expensive. Nevertheless other
   people would enjoy to go there again.
- To sum up, Lonsdale Summer Camp has a number of positive aspects, such as its
   excellent facilities and the wide of sports and activities available. In my opinion, it is
   definitely suitable for children under 16.

-  In conclusion, the bookshop would attract younger customers if a wider range of
    goods were stocked, the interior was made more attractive and special prices
    were offered to students.

We always write assessment reports in a formal style (i.e. passive voice, full verb forms, impersonal language, etc)

Facilities

Facilities at Leeside Gym include a large weights room with state-of-the-art equipment, and three air-conditioned aerobic rooms. In addition, the gym has several showers and two changing rooms in which members have their own lockers.

There is also a snack bar which serves health food and fresh juices. However, at present the snack bar does not have regular hours and is often closed.

Classes

At the moment, the gym offers aerobic classes for three different fitness levels.

A yoga class is being organised and will be offered soon.

Supervised weight training will also be introduced in the future.

Joining Leeside Gym involves a membership fee of £30.

In addition to this, members pay £28 per month, which includes unlimited use of all facilities and is therefore good value for money.

These times are obviously convenient for almost all members.
