Strengths and weaknesses are internal to the organisation and can be directly managed by it, while the opportunities and threats are external and the organisation can only anticipate and react to them.

To sum up... Rewrite the whole report, no bullet points Sentences starting with inappropriate verbal types (Yes...). A lot of spelling and grammar mistakes.
