How to write a proposal
What a proposal really is
A proposal is a document that outlines a plan of action, request for funding, or proposal of an idea. Proposal writing is a process organizations follow for proposal creation. Proposal writing can be used in various settings, including business, academia, and government. In each case, the goal is to present a clear and concise plan to convince the reader to approve the proposal.
It offers comprehensive information about the project an organization wants to implement. It outlines the process and resources required to complete the project successfully. It also includes the objectives and goals of the project.
What a typical proposal task looks like
I typical proposal looks like a report.
When writing a proposal, there are two things you need to ask yourself before you even start to
make a plan:
- What do I have to include in my
proposal?
- Who is going to read it?
As proposals are written to local or school authorities, tutors or teachers, formal English is required so contractions, colloquial expressions, slang or phrasal verbs that convey informality are not allowed.
How to organise your proposal
1.- Title
2.- introduction
3.- Topic Paragraphs (between 2 and 3)
4.- Conclusion
The different parts of a proposal
In this part we are going to look at the example from the
beginning of this post again and I’m going to walk you through writing a proposal
step by step so you know exactly how this whole thing works. Of course, the
topic changes from task to task, but if you understand the essence, you will be
able to apply this knowledge to every future task.
1.- Introduction
A proposal is a rather factual and informative piece of writing so
it is not your job to make it sound happy or sensational (as you would in a
review or possibly an informal email). Therefore, your introduction should get straight to the
point. Say what the proposal’s purpose is and what you are going to include. It
is also important to note that you should never just copy the words from the
task, but paraphrase them and use your own words instead.
Some useful
language for an introduction includes (but is not limited
to) the following phrases:
- The purpose/aim of this proposal is
to…
- This proposal is intended to show/discuss/suggest/outline...
2.- Topic paragraphs
In your topic paragraphs you deal with the three different main
points from the task. As mentioned above, you are not required to make this
sound sensational, but rather informational and factual.
At the same time, however, you’re trying to convince the local council to consider
your proposal so you need to use language to make suggestions and to be
persuasive.
The paragraphs should get headings so it becomes evident very easily what you are
talking about in each section.
Conclusion
Last but not least, we need
a nice and short conclusion to give a last recommendation. Make sure that you
try to convince the reader of your idea one more time.
Recommendations in the conclusion:
I would strongly recommend (+verb in -ing)...
It would be advantageous to...
It is recommended that...
In conclusion, I strongly feel that... is/would be the best to...
It would be a good idea to...
