Learn to write a formal report on a school event — structure, useful phrases, and…
You have learned a lot of school vocabulary! Now let’s use it to write something new: a short report. We will also learn an important writing rule — capital letters.
1
Capital Letters — When to Use Them
In English, we use a capital (big) letter in four situations:
Rule 1
At the start of every sentence: My school is big.
Rule 2
For names of people: Hamza, Sara
Rule 3
For names of places: Morocco, Fez
Rule 4
For the word “I”: I am a student.
نستخدم الحرف الكبير في 4 حالات: بداية كل جملة، أسماء الأشخاص، أسماء الأماكن، وكلمة “I” (أنا) دائما تكتب كبيرة.

What Is a Report?
A report is a short piece of writing that gives facts about something — like your school. A simple report has three parts:
Report Structure
1. A title → 2. Short paragraphs with facts → 3. A short conclusion sentence
💡 Easy Tip
Keep your sentences short and clear. A report gives facts — it doesn’t need long, complicated sentences!
