Quick decidion on report

Today, from changing the theam of report to reaching agreement on the topic, from think about the new topic to working out the questionnaire involved, it seems so quick, but we find it is effective through the brainstroming of our team members, especially our new member--Tony.

With around one hour discussion, we designed a questionnarie on our topic of report--A Survey of ELUPP Students' sport habits, from which I confirmed again that all the questions should be concerned on the theam, and serve as the argument for report, the more concise and relevant these questions are, the more effective the questionnaire will be, all of which is crucial to a good report.

Beside that, we also learned about Noun-based phrases/nominalisation, which is used more then verbs in formal written. We use the none-based phrase instead of the 'wh' clause, which require us to use the exact words to express the same meaning, of course, that's the difficult point for us to do it. Take some of my mistakes for example, when we want to express 'where food is', we can use the noun-based phrase 'the location of food', which is better then 'the place of food' I used. Moreover, you can use different form of noun-based phrase to take the place of one sentence, the only thing you have to pay more attention is whether the phrase you use can convey the same meaning. Just like 'the durition of imprisonment' and 'the length of imprisonment', different noun are employed in the two phrases, but give us the same meaning.

So, I think the the more we read the more we pile up, the more we pile up the more frequently we can use in our academic written.
