How to write a review:

Reviews are written for a website, a magazine or a newspaper.

You always have to do two things describe and discuss something, for example, a film,
a book, a restaurant, an experience or whatever the task might require you to talk
about. Also, you have to make a recommendation at the end of your text.

Unlike an essay a review should be written in an informal or neutral language, this


means:

 you CAN use phrasal verbs.


 you CAN use idioms.
 you CAN use contractions.

Review: Structure

Step 1: Briefly analyse the given topic…

 find what needs to be described.


 find the specific points you need to comment on in your text.
 find the target reader so you know exactly who you are writing for.

Step 2: Title

 if you’re reviewing a book you can write: [Title] by [Author].


 if you were reviewing a restaurant or a hotel you could write: [name of the
restaurant/hotel] – a review.

Step 3: Introduction

 Use the introduction to identify the thing you are going to be reviewing
and provide details like the genre (i.e. a science fiction novel, a horror movie)
or location (if it’s a restaurant).

 The other function of your introduction is to catch the reader. You can do it
by asking a question.

 Make your introduction at least 2 sentences long.

Step 4: The body paragraphs (main content)

The body paragraphs are the main parts of your review so they should be
the longest and carry most of the information. Also, here you describe the
points you’ve found in (Step 1)
Step 5: Conclusion / Recommendations

A good final paragraph of a review does exactly two things

 it includes a recommendation
 and a final sentence to round off the review
