Depends on the report you are doing. If its a report for your boss... just get to the point He/She wants to know details and doesnt wanna spend time reading extra stuff.
If it is a school report then use a story to illustrate the thing you are presenting. It is good to attract the attention of the reader. Especially if the reader is your teacher who is going to be grading it.

The introduction of the OJT Narrative Report defines what the OJT is, and what its functions and use are.
In an introduction you have to generally introduce the subject and give a little opening info. In an exposition or argument you would explain the subject you are about to discuss and which side you are on. In an essay you would talk about the topic and how you wish to demonstrate your knowledge and prove your point. For an information report you should write what your subject or topic is and what you are going to be saying. For an oral report consider introducing yourself and then the topic. An introduction is like a conclusion except instead of summing up the topic you are introducing it.
Start any report with an overview.
introduction,description, conclusion
Do not try to write the introduction to your paper first.
