you
him, her, it

Write a Report: Draft
• The first paragraph is the introduction
• The middle paragraphs give facts and details
that explain the topic.
• The last paragraph is the conclusion. It sums
up the main ideas and leaves the readers with
something to think about.
Example
• Introduction
Think about the tallest building you have ever seen. How
would you get to the top? Imagine what life would be like without the
elevator. The invention of a safe passenger elevator changed how
people lived. It also changed how cities looked.
• Conclusion
We may take elevators for granted today, but life would not
be the same without them. Cities would not have skyscrapers. People
would not live in high-rise buildings. A world without elevators would
be a very different world.
