SLIDE 3: What is a Review? A review is a critical assessment or evaluation of a product, service, or experience. Reviews provide readers with feedback on a specific subject to help them form their own opinions or make decisions. They are typically subjective but should be based on facts and evidence. SLIDE 4: Characteristics of an Effective Review 1. Clear Purpose - Clearly states whether the subject is recommended or not. 2. Objectivity and Fairness - Balances positive and negative aspects to ensure a fair evaluation. 3. Personal Experience - Includes the reviewer's own experience to offer an authentic perspective. 4. Detailed Information - Provides specific details (e.g., ambiance, food quality for restaurants, plot and acting for films) to support the reviewer's judgment. 5. Target Audience Awareness - Understands who the review is for and tailors the content to meet their needs and expectations. 6. Comparisons - Compares the subject of the review with similar products, services, or experiences for context. 7. Engaging and Concise - Writing Engages the reader with a well-structured, succinct, and lively review. SLIDE 5: Restaurant Review Criteria Ambiance: The setting, cleanliness, decor, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. Service: The quality of the service provided by staff, including speed and friendliness. Menu & Food Quality: The variety of offerings and the taste, presentation, and freshness of food. Value for Money: Whether the experience justifies the cost. Overall Experience: A holistic view combining the food, service, ambiance, and price. SLIDE 6: Film Review Criteria Plot: The story’s structure, pacing, and originality. Character Development: How well characters are written, their growth, and the actors’ performances.

SLIDE 7: Main Impression Restaurant Review: The main impression typically revolves around whether the restaurant provides a memorable dining experience, focusing on the quality of food, service, and ambiance.  Film Review: The main impression often addresses whether the film is entertaining, thought-provoking, or worth watching, highlighting the effectiveness of the plot, acting, and direction. How to Identify the Main Impression: 1. Look for the Summary - In a restaurant review, the final paragraph usually sums up whether the reviewer recommends the place. In a film review, it reflects the reviewer’s stance on the film’s overall impact. 2. Analyze the Overall Tone - A positive tone often signals a recommendation, while a critical or neutral tone might suggest the opposite. 3. Look for Key Points - In both types of reviews, key points will be emphasized — the restaurant’s food quality or the film's performances — which contribute to the overall judgment.
