 Example Of Report Text

Example 1:
Tesla Cars
Tesla cars are one of the official electric cars operating in the world today.
Electric cars are one of the solutions to protect the environment from the exhaust
fumes of conventional cars. In addition, electric power is believed to be more efficient
than fuel consumption. Electric cars are also believed to be the future cars that the
world needs.

The Tesla car, a product of Elon Musk’s company, has been in operation for 15
years. The first Tesla Mobi was the Roadster which was the first generation. However,
the car’s main success began when it launched the Model S Sedan in 2012.

Until now, Tesla cars have continued to grow. The Tesla company is currently
designing new batteries to store more electricity and increasingly sophisticated
automobile systems.

Example 2:
Bicycles
Bicycles are human powered vehicles, typically featuring pedals, a seat, two
wheels and a frame. Before the word ‘bicycle’ become popular (coming from the
French word ‘bicyclette’), bikes were typically called ‘velocipedes’.

Bicycles are used for transport, recreation, competitive racing, courier delivery and a
range of other tasks.

Bicycles typically use a chain to transmit power to the rear wheel. Some bicycles
feature suspension. This is especially common in mountain bikes where they are used
to help deal with the vibration caused by uneven surfaces. Road bikes typically have
thinner tires inflated to higher pressures than those found on mountain bikes, taking
advantage of the smoother surfaces that roads generally provide.
