The structure of a report/paper

In a recent lecture we looked at the structure of a report/paper, during the lecture we looked in detail over the following topics:

1) The different sections that will be required in an report/paper.
2) What the different sections are about and the content they should include.
3) The language and grammar we should be using when writing an report/paper.

As an exercise, we looked at a short report titled "A study as to why children hate fruits and vegetables". Our task was to analyse this report in an attempt to find all the errors and, as a result, learn how an report/paper shouldn't be written. Examples of the mistakes I found are listed below:

- Most of the required content (such as the Literature review, Research Methodology and Design Methodology) seems to be missing meaning the report isn't complete.
- There is a lack of references when the author is attempting to make a point or providing facts.
- The author added new information to the conclusion meaning the information has been included in the wrong section.
- In the "References" section the author has mentioned that they used "Some other magazine", the actual title of the magazine needs to be used to give a better idea on what the source of information was.
- Throughout the report the language is in the 1st person since they always refer to themselves (for example, "I love fruit and vegetables and there are many different types"). This is incorrect since the text should be in the form of 3rd person.
- The use of punctuation (lack of quotation marks and bullet points for example) and spelling ("As u no" should be "As you know") is poorly done.
