Suggestions:
• Re-read your introduction - it sounds 'funny'. You are mixing up your tenses.
• Full stops - if you don't use them, you are not writing sentences! Re-read your work out loud. Where you take a natural stop, you need a full stop!
• Information reports do not use personal pronouns such as I, you, we or us. You will need to rewrite these sections.
