    Writing a review
    • The main purpose of a review is when you want to give your
    opinion about something, for example, a film, book, game,
    product, restaurant, concert, etc.

    • The review needs to engage the audience from the beginning


    to the end and there should be a conclusion.

    • Candidates can give their own opinions in the answer to the


    exam question – this can include both positive and negative
    opinions.

    • The review will include examples and evidence to support the


    opinions expressed, e.g. give an example of good (or bad)
    acting.

    Language covers:
    • range (i.e. complexity of vocabulary and sentence
    structure)
    • accuracy (i.e. grammar, spelling, punctuation and text
    organisation).

    • describe (e.g. some details of the plot, actors,
    special effects, music)
    • analyse (e.g. give opinions and examples)
    • advise (e.g. make a final judgement about what
    you thought of the film). It will include
    vocabulary related to films, acting and
    performance.
    • The candidate should use correct spelling,
    punctuation and grammar.
    Assessment
    Language
    • Think about the audience that the review is for.
    • The tone of the review can be personal and informal.
    • If writing for adults the style may be more formal than if writing
    for teenagers. But in both cases you should sound professional
    and as if you know about the subject.

    Organisation
    A review should include:
    • information about what is being reviewed
    • clear opinions and interesting points about the film
    • final opinion and possibly provide a rating.
