Answer 1

This can cause serious complications, if not death. There is a very important part of your brain back there that if pressure is put on it from a closed head injury (which you might have from the force of your head hitting the pavement) it could damage very important functions. One is sight! You might have a concussion which if treated properly, is usually not life threatening. But if i were you, id go to the doc to make sure everything is ok, your brain is not something to mess around with. Its your control center for everything!

Answer 2

Your report can be improved a bit. 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.
