WRITING A NEWS REPORT

When we write a news  report, we provide information about a recent event.We present the facts objectively in order of importance. The report should answer the questions : who, what when, where and why. We should  use connectors or linking words  to make  our writing meaningful.

We should divide it into three paragraphs:

Opening: We should write a summary of the event and the most important facts.

Body: We should give details about the events.

Closing: We should write about the significance of the event or reactions and comments.
