This is called plagiarism and is a form of cheating. If I were you, I would make a bibliography that includes all of the sources you used. Chow!!

You will need to quote the sources of all your data & statistics whenever possible. Generally, a journalistic style is unacceptable for academic reports. Yours will look good on a newsletter, but not on an academic paper. Academic writings do not, generally, pose questions to the reader i.e.: "What do you think?" , "Have you ever wondered?"- it looks very amateurish. Further, academic writings do not sensationalise facts: i.e.: "Amazingly, however, both iundustries were thriving..." and "Bahamian citizens felt really lucky...." Sentences can never, ever begin with a number written in numerics, i.e.: "57 people died" - It should be "Fifty seven peple died". Do not use informal language i.e.: "Knocked out" in reports. Those are the major points I can see. Your report can be improved a bit.
