C1 Writing: Proposals

A proposal is similar to a report. The main difference is that in a report you refer to a current situation whereas in a proposal you will have to concentrate on future recommendations to improve the present situation of the issue you are dealing with.

The structure is usually as follows: introduction, current situation, suggestions and final recommendations.

You should write in a formal style.

Do not use abbreviations  or any kind of slang words!

Try to use passive grammar sentences. So, instead of "I think that the school should..." it is better to write "It is recommended that the school..."

 INTRODUCTION
