Reviews
Reviews are short descriptions of books, films, plays, TV programmes, etc. They are written to inform readers and viewers, and to give them our opinion/recommendation about whether (or not) they should read a book or see a film/play/etc.
A review consists of:
an introduction in which we summarise all the background information about the book/film/etc (e.g. title, name of author/ director, type, setting, etc);
a main body consisting of two paragraphs: one about the main points of the plot, presented in chronological order, and another including general comments on the plot, the main characters, the acting, the directing, etc.
Note: We normally dontaskt reveal the end of the story to the reader.
a conclusion in which we recommend or do not recommend the book/film/play/ etc, giving reasons to support our recommendation.
Reviews are normally found in newspapers, magazines or as part of a letter. The style we use depends on the publication and the intended reader and can be formal or semi-formal.
We normally use present tenses and a variety of adjectives to describe the plot and make our comments more clear and to the point.

Your English teacher has asked you to write a review of a book you have recently read. Write your review giving a summary of the plot and saying why you think other readers might enjoy it (120-180 words).
1 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is the first novel in a best-selling trilogy. It is a fast-paced science fiction novel which tells the exciting story of 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen.
2 The story is set in District 12 in the future world of Panem. Every year, the Capitol holds a lottery to select a boy and girl from each of the twelve districts to fight to the death in the Hunger Games on live TV. When Katnisstask 12-year-old sister is selected, she volunteers to take her place. She will have to fight for her life against others who have trained for the Games all their lives. Will she survive?
3 The booktasks original story, interesting characters and fast-paced plot are guaranteed to keep readers completely absorbed right from the start. It is full of thrilling action and nerve-racking tension as well as touching moments as we follow Katnisstask journey through the Games. The characters are strong and well-developed and the reader becomes quickly interested and attached to them.
4 I totally recommend The Hunger Games. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read that will completely engross readers from the first page. If you like fast-paced action and a creative, exciting and original plot then this is the book for you. Dontaskt miss it!
