The following statements are taken from other learners’ reviews. Read them and answer the questions in the spaces provided.
1 ‘The film was too long and it was boring.’
* What should the reviewer go on to write?
The film was long and not what I was expecting. I didn’t find it enjoyable and I thought it was quite boring.
2 ‘I don’t know what I thought of this book but my friend thought it was really interesting.’
* Why is this not a good thing to say in a review?
Because the reader is looking for your opinion and you’re the reviewer so it’s meant to be your opinion. The friend should’ve just written the review.
3. ‘For a children’s play there was not a lot of action. The bit with the lion was good but it got boring from then on.’
* Why might this not be helpful to an audience?
This wouldn’t be helpful because the audience haven’t watched the play yet so they do not know about the lion bit and what was before it or after. So it is irrelevant to say what the reviewer found boring.
* How could the reviewer make it more useful?
The reviewer could’ve explained a little bit more about what came before it and why after that part it got boring. They also could’ve said whether they thought the play is worth watching as they are saying ‘it got boring from then on’
