For e.g. if the XML is ..
<test>
 <TEXT>sldj aldj aldj a</TEXT>
 <REPORT>12345</REPORT>
</test>

You may do -

<xsl:template match="test">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="REPORT" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="TEXT" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TEXT">
  <!-- anything you wish to write -->
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="REPORT">
  <!-- anything you wish to write -->
</xsl:template>
