Un informe es un texto formal que relata de forma objetiva los
diferentes aspectos de un proyecto o estudio que se está realizando
sobre un tema específico. Un informe también puede plantear un problema y
proponer soluciones a tal problema.
2. El registro es siempre formal y el modo impersonal, lo que significa que se deben evitar fórmulas personales de tipo * I observe that..., Our recommendation is...y sustituirlas por It appears that... It is observed that... It is recommended that... X should be taken into consideration...( LEE EL APARTADO FRASES ÚTILES)
3. La estructura consta de un título o un encabezamiento ( To: From: Subject: Date:),una introducción en la que se expresa el objetivo del informe, diferentes apartados con o sin título en los que se presenta la información de forma lógica y clara, y una conclusión adecuada,
en la que se hace balance o se exponen las diferentes soluciones o se
hacen recomendaciones, dependiendo de la naturaleza del informe.

artículo. Tal confusión podría suponer no aprobar el "writing" aun
