Review structure

• introductory paragraph - name what you are going to be reviewing, state its genre (i.e. a
science ction novel, a horror movie, a vaudeville performance and so on). It is possible to write
about the author’s other notable works if there are any. To make your introduction more
engaging, you may brie y state your general impression on it. Make your introduction three or
four sentences long.

• rst body paragraph - should give a short summary of the reviewed material. Give a brief
overview — plot, setting, actors, general idea. Avoid giving your opinion in this paragraph — you
will do this in the following passages.

• Second and third body paragraphs - can be used to describe good and bad points
respectively. Your paragraphs don’t have to be of the same length — if you liked the described
thing then your paragraph with good points will be naturally bigger than the other one. In the
negative points paragraph you can name things that could be changed to improve the quality of
the product.

• Conclusion will contain your general impression and your verdict. Use this paragraph to sum up
the good and bad points to make an objective assessment of the reviewed material. You may
then recommend or dissuade your readers from seeing/attending it.
