Reviews
A review is a short description of a book, film, TV series, play, music album, video game, event, etc. They are usually found in newspapers, magazines, on websites, or even as part of an email to a friend. They are used to inform readers and give an opinion about what is being reviewed. The style (informal, semi-formal or formal) depends on where the review will appear and who will read it.
Reviews usually include: an introduction summarising the background information about the film/book/CD/ game/etc (e.g. title, name of outhor/director, type, what ittasks about), a main body of two paragraphs (the first lists the main points of the plot and the second gives information about the plot/storyline, characters, lyrics (CD), special effects, etc) and a conclusion in which we recommend/dontaskt recommend the book/ film/CD/etc together with (a) reason(s) to support our recommendation.
Present tenses are normally used. A variety of adjectives/adverbs make the review more interesting and make our comments dearer and more to the point.

An English language website for teenagers is asking for reviews from its readers of a festival/sporting event they have attended. Write your review including general information about the event (time, place, reason, etc), a, description of the activities and what you liked about it (120-180 words).
1 The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race is an exciting sporting event that takes place every year on a Saturday in spring on the River Thames in London. It started in 1829 and is one of the oldest sporting events in the world.
2 The Boat Race is a fierce rowing competition between two teams; one from Oxford University and the other from Cambridge. The race takes place over a 6.8 km stretch of the River Thames between Putney and Mortlake. The river banks come alive with a festival-like atmosphere as hundreds of thousands of spectators gather to cheer on their favourite team.
3 Many people attend the Boat Race in the Park event at Furnivall Gardens which is free and open to all. It has live music, childrentasks rides, sporting activities and refreshments available to keep people entertained until the big event, and huge screens to watch all the action.
4 All in all, I thoroughly recommend The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. It is a thrilling spectacle that is thoroughly enjoyed by all and a great day out for all ages. This is definitely an event not to be missed.
