Writing Spot Report

05 Oct 2009 | : Simple essay

One of the best way for you to learn writing is by writing a simple spot report.  Spot report, though it might be technical, the facts presented are easy to arrange in paragraph form.  it is actually a form of narrative English essay because you will be narrating the incident in a chronological manner.

The five “W” and “H” questions should be filled only and after gathering these information all you have to do now is to write it in a chronological order.  The first sentence should be the most important thing that had happen in the event.

Let us try the example below:

What: vehicular accident. This includes the type of car, the plate number and what happened to the drivers and passengers.

Who:  obviously, this refers to all the persons involved in the incident.

Where: this is the place or the address where the incident occurred.

When: time

Why: the reason behind the incident

How: how the incident happen

Now, from the example above, you can now write a simple spot report.  Again this is only an example and so I will just write the spot report as simple as possible, but giving emphasis on the facts above.

SPOT REPORT

On or about 250830H September 09 a vehicular incident occurred within the vicinity of highway 54.  A passenger vehicle with plate number ###### driven by Mr. SOso and a Toyota with plate no. ##### driven by Mr. SEse collided in the corner of highway 54 and 56.  Both drivers and passenger were rush to the general hospital for.

There are other details to be included here but since this is just an example, I hope I am able to write the report based on the facts above.  You too can learn how to write spot report, just gather the facts and write it in a paragraph form.
