There are many types of reports. A report is simply an account of something that has happened. The commonest are news reports. We get them in newspapers, over the radio and on television Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels.
The main purpose of a newspaper is to provide news. If you examine a newspaper closely,   you will find that there are all types of news, accidents, floods, fires, wars, fashions, spoils,
books, etc. The news covers everything that happens to people and their surroundings. Some-
times there are news items which are very amusing.
A news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains a lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is in fact
a summary of the news item. It gives all the necessary information -what, when, where, how
and why. The other paragraphs give full details of the subjects. There may also be interviews
with people. The words actually spoken by them are written in inverted commas(引号).
Often there are photographs to go with the news to make it more interesting.

Where do you want to travel this year? What are some of your favorite vacation spots? See some places we have picked as the top destinations for 2010．
● Sri Lanka
The island feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes （水牛） idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees．And then there's the beautiful coastline．Among the most scenic is Nilaveli Beach in the Tamil north．Vacationers can lie on poolside hammocks （吊床） under palm trees or swim in its crystal-clear waters．Or they can order cocktails at the Nilaveli Beach Hotel．
● Shanghai
Following up on Beijing's successful Olympics, Shanghai is expecting 70 million visitors to its World Expo．From May 1 to Oct．31, more than 200 nations and regions will turn a two-square-mile site by the city's Huangpu River into an architectural playground: Switzerland will be represented by a building shaped like a map of that country, while England is in the celebrated hands of the designer Thomas Heatherwick．However, by contrast, the United States pavilion might be mistaken for a suburban （郊区的） office park．
● Copenhagen
Last year, thousands of environmentalists challenged world leaders in Copenhagen for the climate summit, but the Danish capital has already emerged as one of the world's greenest, and maybe coolest, cities．In Copenhagen, long, flat roads all have bicycle paths where locals cycle around the city．Away from all the modernism and the happy cyclists, cultural thrill-seekers are being attracted to the district of Norrebro, where the city's young crowd the cafes and galleries or dance in local clubs until the early hours．
