The Owl Purdue is a very useful tool for many different kinds of writing papers.  It helps you write, grammar, structure ect.  This is a unique too in that you can use it for any writing situation such as business, personal, memos, sales letters, personal ect.  It can give you great samples and ideas on how to  write reports and scientific abstracts.   It provides you with information on revising documents for audience purpose with emphasis on language, tone, organization and correctness.  It provides information on examples on parallel structure in business documents.  You can use the OWL tool for providing overviews and examples how to use the proper tone in your papers.  It discusses and guides you on writing good abstracts for reports.  It covers information and descriptive abstract and gives pointes or communicate contents of reports.  This article states infomation on accentuating the positives rather than the negative facts such as stressing something is rather than is not.  You can get helpful hints about writing a memo. Memos bring attention to problems and they solve problems.  It covers sales letters which cover 4 points on how to write a good conclusion such as: 1) clearly state what action you wish the reader to take 2) Make that action easy through facilitating devices and careful wording 3) Date the action 4) provide a reader benefit as stimulu for action.  The Owl tool also discusses how to write good abstracts for reports. It covers information and descriptive abstracts and gives good pointers such as on an Informational Abstract 1) communicating contents of reports 2) include purpose, methods of scope, results, conclusion and recommendations 3) highlight essential points
A Desciptive Abstract should tell what report containing, include, methods, scope but NOT results and recommendations.
This resource will help many in any writing areas of my life.  It seems to be a very useful, helpful and an all around tool.  I will use it in the future for any of my english class assignments such as essays, dialogues ect.  I really need the help with the structure of different writing assignments.  I get stuck on the structure.  The Owl tool with guide you through by telling you what it should include and what it shouldn't include such as the Descriptive abstract how it tells you what it should contain and what it shouldn't.  These are great guides.
