- hi folks it's miss teneticus and in today's video i'm going to talk about how you can write a review
- i'm going to cover the basics of a review and what parts a review consists of and in the end i have a tip on how you
- can get a higher result by simply changing a few words in your review if you want to skip to the part that is
- most relevant for you use the chapter indicators in the bar below so that you can go to that particular part but first what does a review
- consist of let's get to it [Music] so what does a basic review consist of
- well a review consists of an introduction it has a description of the thing you're reviewing and in the case of a film
- a book it might be a summary it has of course your opinion which is basically the review part and it has of course a conclusion
- and a verdict with a particular recommendation do you recommend this thing film restaurant whatever it is to the
- person who's reading your review so you're now ready to write your review and the first thing you need to write
- is your introduction now usually i would say write the introduction at the end but since the review is kind of different
- you can start with your introduction now the introduction is there to give some basic information about the thing or the film or episode
- or whatever you are reviewing make sure to follow the funnel shape and if you don't know what that is have a look at my introduction and
- conclusion video but it's basically that you start very general and you move towards specific and you know how general it is
- it really depends on the type of thing you're reviewing now your introduction might consist of some basic information about the thing
- you're reviewing so you might want to give some major characters or maybe you want to give the director or some actors that played
- in your film if you're reviewing a film if you're doing something else like you're reviewing your phone or your computer or
- maybe a tablet or whatever make sure that you give some details about the thing you're reviewing now sometimes
- it's necessary to add a second paragraph to your introduction in which you put this basic information and that's of course not a problem
- but important for your review is again make sure that it's concise and you only add information that is relevant next you want to describe the
- thing that you're reviewing and it's important that you do this objectively you don't want to give any opinions yet since you're simply
- describing something now in the case of a book or a film or series this is the part where you give a plot summary but it's important to keep it
- concise because we're not really interested in all the details of the plot you also want to avoid giving spoilers here
- unless it's very important that you include the ending in your summary because maybe you want to give your opinion about the ending in the case of
- a restaurant or something that you experienced you want to describe objectively what it is and how it was
- what did you experience when you were there how is the food presented it is very important to remain objective you're not giving your opinion
- in your summary yet in the case of an object you want to describe the object you're reviewing so in the case of a phone
- you might want to give something like the measurements it's weight how it's presented what it looks like the colors those kinds of things are
- relevant for an object that you're reviewing maybe you want to give specific features of the thing you're reviewing
- and only give facts that are necessary and relevant because you don't want to overload your reader with lots of facts and
- information that is not very relevant now in the case of a phone or an object or something else that has a lot of details
- what you could do is put this information in a table because then if someone is interested they can have a look at the table to
- find this very specific information now after you've given the summary or in this case of an object after you've described
- it you want to give your opinion what do you think of the product what do you think of the film what do you think of the story
- now make sure that when you do this you write structured paragraphs and if you need to know more about how to write structure paragraphs have a look at my
- paragraph structure video now what you could do before you start writing is creating an outline and in the next
- video i will show you how you can create an outline of a review so make sure that you're subscribed so that you know when this video will be
- out important for your opinion is that you give clear examples you don't want to give an opinion that's
- based on something that's very vague or something that doesn't really make sense so when you're giving your opinion it is your opinion and if you found something
- that you really like or maybe you don't like you can use it as an example to illustrate your opinion now in each
- paragraph make sure that you focus on one particular element now i'm not saying that you only need to
- give three sentences per paragraph paragraphs could be a bit longer but make sure that your topic sentence which describes the element you're
- focusing on really connects everything together in your paragraph so don't add things to a particular paragraph that is not described in your
- topic sentence and when you're done you can link paragraphs together using linking words or linking phrases and things like
- however although etc are very good words to use in the case of a review so after you've done all of this you've
- given your summary you've given your opinion it's time to write a verdict would you recommend this to the person
- that is reading your review you want to combine everything you discuss together in a good conclusion and this conclusion should also follow
- the upside down funnel shape make sure that your review has a clear recommendation because that's why people are reading your review
- now here are two very useful tips you can use in your own reviews one thing learners of english usually do is you stick to the same adjectives
- and in the review adjectives and adverbs are very important so what you could do is avoid particular adjectives by
- mixing them up and using them in different ways and one thing to achieve this is by using a thesaurus in the case of a word like beautiful you
- could use something like alluring or maybe something like gorgeous in the case of something like well written you could say that something's
- eloquent and finally instead of saying something is emotional you could say that something is poignant
- now a thesaurus is key here and if you notice that you're using a particular adjective several times have a look in a thesaurus and maybe you
- can use a different adjective with the same meaning now another thing learners of english usually do is put very in front of everything and
- that is something that you can simply avoid so try not to use very too much instead of saying that something is very
- important for example you could say that something is crucial and the same goes for a word like very funny
- you can say that it's hilarious and finally instead of saying that something is very good you could say that it's excellent now to
- help you with this i'll put a link in the description to an infographic from people at proofreadingservices.com
- and this infographic contains 120 ways to avoid the word very and that's basically it when it comes to review writing
