Read the definition of a survey report and answer the questions.

A survey report presents the results of a survey. It is usually written in a formal style and consists of three parts: introduction, main body and conclusion. The introduction describes the aim (цель) of the report. The body presents the main results of the survey. As a rule, we don’t describe each answer to the question but try to group them. The facts are presented in the form of percentages and / or proportions. We usually use the present tense to describe the results of the survey. The conclusion summarizes the information. Sometimes you can include your opinion when you describe the results.

1. What is a survey report? 

2. How many parts does it have? 

3. What do we describe in each part? 

4. What tense do we use to present the results? 

5. Can you give your opinion in the survey report?

We use the word per cent (or percent) with numbers (e.g. 15 per cent) and the word percentage without numbers (e.g. the percentage of people).

 Look at these expressions. 

In what part of the report do we usually use them?
