Hope everyone reading this is as fit as a fiddle.
I am sorry for not posting for the past 3 days. The weather slightly took a turn and it took a toll on my throat and nose.
But back with a much better post, you might have been waiting for, i.e.; a sample past paper Report Writing (Cambridge 0500 IGCSE First Language English). It will help you with understanding the following:

The above image is perfect for that quick last-minute revision and I have written the steps below, just in case the image isn't clear to you:
Step 1: Start by writing the what why where and when of the events from the Reading Insert Passage.
Step 2: Start writing the second paragraph with A1 content points taken from the insert. Insert testimonials and evidence from characters' indirect speech from the insert.
Step 3: Paraphrase the A2 content points in a report style with news idioms and newspaper diction along with a formal register/tone/style
Step 4: Next, start writing the third paragraph with non-emotive language and neat/cohesive sentence structure by taking more A1 and A2 content points from the Reading Insert.
Step 5: Move to write the final and fourth paragraph which should include the future course of events or actions taken by the characters in the Reading insert.
Now moving to the title of this blog post, I am going to answer a past paper question for report writing.
It is taken from the Paper 2 October/November 2016 series for Cambridge IGCSE FLE 0500. You could email me if you want the past paper links.
Sample Response to Report Writing for Paper 2 October/November 2016 series for Cambridge IGCSE FLE 0500.
The Global Statistics Report recently published data on missing personalities, and thousands have been reported missing. 20-year-old Caribbean voyager Selkirk was found, castaway amidst the South Sea Atoll this Thursday, until he was rescued by the Island's Rescue Team.
The Rescue Operations Team revealed some intriguing informal chats among the crew members. Captain Stradling loathed rebellion, on the grounds of which Selkirk was abandoned merely with his possessions, his chest, some soiled sheets, and some spare clothes, without any food or edible products. Divulging further details, the team also reported that the ship had been devoid of pest control, which eventually took a toll on the ship's wooden material and other paraphernalia. Nevertheless, there was no point jumping on the bandwagon, so Selkirk offered a word of advice to his fellow sailors not to voyage ahead, however, his pleadings fell on deaf ears. Reportedly, Selkirk exclaimed, "I desperately wanted to be taken on board but in vain."
Upon further probe, it was discovered that Selkirk demonstrated spectacular survival skills on the Island, which is seemingly laudable as he thrived for several months in solitude. Selkirk was seen boasting, "Nothing could overpower my spirit, neither the hailstorms nor the howling island creatures". To keep his isolation at bay, Selkirk honed his culinary skills, savouring some wild salmon and cod with marine herbs. Claims suggest that Selkirk with his keen observation skills sought oneness with nature and made it therapeutic for himself.
Our onsite island correspondents claim that Captain Stradling was exposed as he maintained his 'hard nut to crack' image throughout the expedition. He also issued caveats not to offer a helping hand to Selkirk to avoid heightened mutiny, despite knowing the red zone ahead. He is criticised for endangering the lives of several men, by giving the green signal to the sailors to embark ahead. The Peruvian coast guards airlifted 31 others and the search is ongoing.
Hope the above sample report writing answer helps students with what they need at this crucial hour of exam preparation.
See you all again with more sample answers.
