Exam tips
You should describe the thing or place you are reviewing. Try to use a range of descriptive adjectives and adverbs.
Remember to include your opinions and give reasons – say why you liked it or why you didn’t.
You usually need to say if you’d recommend the subject of your review to other people or not.
Plan your work
Read the question carefully and plan your review before you start to write.
Think of the style you will use, which will probably be semi-formal.
Plan your writing
Think about how you will organise the content into paragraphs.
You need to deal with several tasks within the question:
to inform the reader about the book or programme
to give your personal opinion
and to say whether you would recommend it.
Choose your vocabulary
You will need to use varied language, including interesting adjectives.
Jot down some words you may want to use so that you can avoid the overuse of words such as 'good' or 'nice'.
Final Check
Check your spelling and punctuation and correct any basic errors you may have made.
Read the task. Write your answer in 140–190 words in an appropriate style.

The series 'Sandy Bay' is about the life of eight friends, four boys and four girls, who are neighbours and spend a lot of time together.
The characters are all very different; for example, Sam is outgoing and full of enthusiasm while Ralph is very shy. Though they are just ordinary people, they often do crazy, unpredictable things that we would not do in real life and this is what makes the series so enjoyable. For example, you can never guess who they will fall in love with.
I love this series because it is full of humour and drama - you get to laugh and also to cry. I enjoy following the changes in the characters’ relationships and I can almost believe they are my own friends.
I'd recommend it to people up to the age of 40 because they'll definitely share the experiences of the main characters. Once they have watched it a few times I am sure they'll find it very hard to miss an episode! However, as the humour is targeted at the younger generation, older people might not find it so appealing.
