HEADINGS & HIGHLIGHTING

 

 

THIS IS SINGLE, INDIVIDUAL WORK – NOT GROUP WORK !!!

 

 

HEADINGS are very good for highlighting important information, especially in memos and reports.  Headings are short phrases or just one word which comes before a paragraph (like in a newspaper or magazine) that tells the subject of a paragraph in a memo or a report.  They can even be used in letters or any written material (even presentation slides).

 

In reports, for example, headings could be (but don’t have to be):

 

Summary of Main Points

Results of Activities

Recommendation

 

 

 

 

HOMEWORK – This is individual work, NOT GROUP WORK !!!

SUBJECT: Explosion in container on 12 March 2010

 

 

An accident occurred in the Container on Nov. 1, while three men were removing oil drums for cleaning and refilling.  Two drums, neither of which were protected by safety rubber coverings, hit each other causing a spark.  This spark caused an explosion.

 

Fortunately, the effects of the explosion were relatively small.  Two of the men were slightly injured, and were taken to the hospital.  Also, there was a small fire which burned 6 oil drums completely.

 

 

To prevent similar accidents from happening the future, it is recommended that all equipment should be protected with safety rubber.  In addition, drums should be spaced far apart from each other to prevent hitting and causing sparks.  Employees should be instructed that they must be careful while handling drums containing flammable substances.

 

Thank you.  If you have any questions, please contact me at extension 3333.
