How to write a review
A REVIEW is usually written for an
English-language magazine, newspaper or website.
The main purpose is to describe and express a personal
opinion about something which the writer has experienced (e.g. a film, a
holiday, a product, a website etc.) and to give the reader a clear impression
of what the item discussed is like.
Description and explanation are key functions for this
task, and a review will normally include a recommendation to the
reader.
Hints
- It is a good idea
to give your review an interesting title.
- In the first
paragraph, say what you are reviewing and try to get the
reader's interest.
- Give your opinion of what
you are reviewing linked to the question in
the second paragraph. Remember a review is not just a list of
facts - it's largely your opinion.
- Give more details of what your are reviewing linked to the
questions in the input in one or two more paragraphs, but only focus on
those you've been asked to develop.
- Summarise your view, using different words from the
introduction, and include a recommendation.
- Remember.
- Use a personal
or more neutral style, according to the target reader.
- It is important that
you show a range of structures in the language of
opinion, description and recommendation.
- Add vivid language to add interest.
Revolution from dream to reality
The French theather show Revolution was one of the best I've seen in the last few years. As a show organized for schools, it offered the possibility to improve language skills and to deal with social issues for teenagers, such as insecurities, uncertainties, bullying and courage.
The main character is an insecure girl named Chloe, who, while reading a book, enters the story dreaming about four revolutionary figures that will help her to fight her monsters.
They are well defined and each of them plays an important role.
What I disliked the most were the coreographies, which seemed repetitive, but on the other hand the soundtrack was really impressive.
I was pleasantly surprised by the ability of the actors to interact with the audience and to make the message clearly understandable in spite of different languages. However, the thing I liked most was the union between fun and teaching.
All in all, I really appreciated the show from all points of view and I recommend that schools offer their students the opportunity to attend it, because it wouldn't be a waste of time at all.
My first concert
A new music wave is currently spreading in Italy, especially among teenagers.The indie music has already arrived and along with it a crowd of new artists that are becoming increasingly important in the Italian music scene. Among these we have the famous Edoardo d'Erme, whose art name is Calcutta.
After the great success of the album Mainstream and after quite a long period of time without producing anything, last year, Calcutta's record company, Bamba Dischi, released a new album called Evergreen in the music market and along with it, a new tour that finished on the 9th of February 2019.
On that Saturday a lot of people, especially teenagers, chose to have fun in that concert rather than to stay at home to watch the final evening of Sanremo.
The PalArt Hotel was full of young people that were waiting for the concert to begin.
When the lights went on and a voice called the singer, while jumping he grabbed the microphone and started to sing.Songs after songs, the audience was more and more amused and always ready to sing, till losing their voices(me, for example)
Even it was my first concert and my first experience I think it was great and especially the frontman was perfectly able to encourage us to get lost in his music and what telling about the other members of the band but that they were amazing!
So, if you get a chance to go to one of Calcutta's concerts...go please. For me it was a performance that I'll never forget.I believe it'll be the same for you!
An Art exhibition-Impressionism
My review today is about an art opening organized in a near city.
It is about an exhibition of more or less 200 paintings painted by 19th century artists, the so-called impressionists.
The opening is really well organized, every painting is really interesting and their location is amazing. I am an art lover, so I can really say that this gallery impressed me- in fact every painting I looked at left me astonished in the positive meaning of the word clearly.
Moreover, at the end of the tour there is a small store with every kind of souvenirs, wherein you can find lots of things with the drawings and colours of the paintings.
The only thing I didn't like was the audio-guide, because she talked too fast and I couldn't admire the works of art enough, in fact I always stayed behind.
To conclude, I suggest that everyone should go and enjoy the exhibition, so I reccomend it to art lovers and not, because a bit of beauty has never worn anyone out or troubled him.
So enjoy art!
