LESSON 71: THE ENTERTAINMENT SECTION – READING AND WRITING A REVIEW
Reading, Writing, and Surviving Reviews
Discuss with your class: People leave crazy reviews on the internet. Can you guess what they are talking about?
A review is a short article where you express your opinion. Your message has to be clear: Do you want to recommend it, or warn people to stay away?
Start strong. State clearly if you liked it or not.
"Are you planning on going to Mario's Pizza? If so, I'd highly recommend it!"
Avoid vague words. Give proof of your opinion.
"The lemon pie had a wonderfully crunchy crust and a soft filling."
If you are planning to eat at 'The Salty Spoon', save your money and go somewhere else. My experience last night was absolutely dreadful.
First, the service was terrible. The waiter was rude, and it took 45 minutes just to get a glass of water. Furthermore, the food was completely overpriced. I ordered the "Famous Steak," but the meat was cold, dry, and tasted like an old shoe. Even the music was extremely loud, making it impossible to talk.
In conclusion, I do not recommend this place to anyone. I give it one star, and that is only because the napkins were clean.
Write a short review (3-4 sentences) about the place or media you chose. Give it a rating (1 to 5 stars) and use specific details!
You have exactly 30 seconds to read your review to the class with passion and emotion.
If you hated the place, sound angry! If you loved it, sound excited!
Listen to the critic. After they finish, raise your hand and answer:
"Based on this review, would you go to that place / watch that movie? Why or why not?"
You are now a professional English critic.
