Book Review Example: '1984' by George Orwell

# data[].attributes.body
Title: 1984
Author: George Orwell
Genre: Dystopian Fiction

Orwell's masterpiece continues to resonate with readers today. The story follows Winston Smith in a totalitarian society where thoughts are policed and individuality is suppressed. The author's vivid world-building and prescient themes about surveillance and control are particularly striking.

The prose is clear and impactful, though some might find the middle section's political exposition challenging. The love story adds human warmth to the political commentary.

Rating: ★★★★★
Highly recommended for its timeless relevance and powerful message.

Film Review Example: 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'

# data[].attributes.body
Title: The Grand Budapest Hotel
Director: Wes Anderson
Year: 2014

Anderson's whimsical masterpiece delights with its intricate storytelling and visual splendor. The film follows the adventures of legendary concierge Gustave H. and lobby boy Zero.

The symmetrical cinematography and pastel color palette create a distinctive aesthetic. Ralph Fiennes delivers an outstanding performance, balancing comedy and melancholy perfectly. The nested narrative structure might confuse some viewers initially.

Rating: ★★★★½
A must-watch for anyone who appreciates artistic filmmaking and clever storytelling.

Theatre Review Example: 'Hamlet' at the National Theatre

Theatre Review Example: 'Hamlet' at the National Theatre

# data[].attributes.body
Production: Hamlet
Venue: Hungarian National Theatre
Date: 2023 Season

This modern interpretation of Shakespeare's classic tragedy brings fresh energy to the timeless tale. The minimalist set design allows the powerful performances to take center stage.

The lead actor's portrayal of Hamlet captures both the character's intellectual depth and emotional turmoil. The contemporary costumes and lighting create interesting parallels with current political themes.

While some traditionalists might question the modern setting, it serves to highlight the play's universal themes.

Rating: ★★★★
A bold reimagining that respects the source material while speaking to contemporary audiences.

Did you learn anything new about the person's life from the book or film? Did the book or film help you understand why this person made their important contribution?

Write your review (around 220 - 260 words)

The first thing is to find underline a description part , where we have to describe something like a film, book, restaurant or anything else. Next, find a discussion part where need to give opinion and or make a recommendation or suggestion.

On top of that, find the target reader who is always specified so you know exactly who you are writing for and who is going to read your review.
You see the following announcement on a website, Great Lives:

(to describe)

Did you learn anything new about the person's life from the book or film? Did the book or film help you understand why this person made their important contribution?

Thanks to this, we have all the elements we need to write a great review below:

You need to describe: B ook or film that focuses on somebody who has made an important contribution to society

You need to answer/discuss:

1. Why this person made an important contribution?

2. Did you learn anything new about the person's life?

We know now that the target readers are the users of the website, so the writing style can be quite direct and informal (idioms, phrasal verbs).

Now we can start building our structure and writing a review.

The review should start with the title, and there are several ways to write it:

imagine you're reviewing a book you can write [Title] by [Author]

if you were reviewing a hotel you could write the [name of the hotel] - a review

or you can just write something catchy but it has to point to what you are going to review

we will use this title in our guide:
TITLE: Mandela: Striving for Freedom - a review

Use the introduction to identify the thing you are going to be reviewing, and state its genre (i.e. a science fiction novel, a horror movie) or location (if it's a restaurant or a hotel).

The other function of your introduction is to engage the reader. There are certain tools we can use to achieve that for example, we can ask a rhetorical question.

It is a question that doesn't really need an answer it is there as a stylistic feature that engages the reader and makes them interested in the topic

Make your introduction at least 2-3 sentences long.

INTRODUCTION: Have you ever been so passionate about something that you would sacrifice your very best years for it? In the film Mandela: Striving for Freedom we get not only a glimpse of Nelson Mandela's life, but rather dive deep into who he was and how he changed a whole country. This autobiographical film, based on the book, and released in 2013, tells the amazing story of an even more extraordinary man.

- rhetorical question

- identification of reviewed item

TIP: Don't waste your time looking for a real book or a real movie to match your review. Make it up or change the facts to suit the review, it doesn't have to be real.

Step 4: The body paragraphs (main content)

The body paragraphs can be used to describe the points you've found in (Step 1)

You need to answer/discuss:

1. Why this person made an important contribution?

2. Did you learn anything new about the person's life?

Unlike essays, your paragraphs don't have to be of the same length (however, should be longer than the introduction or conclusion).

Use idioms, phrasal verbs and colloquial language - informal language is appropriate for your target reader -

See the example below, in which we dedicate one paragraph to one point...

[Why this person made an important contribution?]

While the whole film captivated me throughout, there was one aspect that truly stood out to me. Nelson Mandela and his second wife Winnie had a one-of-a-kind relationship driving each other to continue and grow the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa even after Mr Mandela was
captured and imprisoned. It is a testament to their dedication and partnership and something 'that a lot of us can learn from.

[Did you learn anything new about the person's life?]

Despite having a strong and driven partner in his wife, I still used to be astonished by the fact that someone would simply sacrifice themselves and give up a big part of their life to help others, but this biopic made me reconsider. Witnessing segregated society and all the racial abuse the
black community had to endure during apartheid, there was no other option for Nelson Mandela than to stand up and fight for equality.

- topic-specific vocabulary

- engaging/interesting vocabulary

- relevant details

Step 5: Conclusion / Recommendations

It will contain your general impression and your verdict/recommendation.

Use this paragraph to make an objective assessment of the reviewed material. You may then recommend or dissuade your readers from seeing/attending it.

CONCLUSION: All in all, Mandela: Striving for Freedom gives some incredible insight into the life of one of the world's most famous and influential personalities of the 20th century. It would be a shame not to watch it so I highly recommend that you check your favourite streaming service as soon as you can and I promise you won't regret it. - recap, what you like about the film

C1 Advanced (CAE) Review: Example reviews

Question:

You have seen this announcement on your favourite music website.
Have you ever been to an amazing concert venue?
Write a review of the best music venue in your local area and tell us about what makes it so special. Say who you would recommend it for a why?

The best entries will be published on our website.

Model answer:
The Apollo: The Theatre of Dreams
Never before have you seen such an amazing spectacle as you will see in the Apollo. It´s not only the facilities and personnel that make this venue so great, but also the amazing acoustics of such a large venue.

From the moment you enter the place there is an awe about it. All of the greatest acts of recent times have played here and you can feel the buzz as soon as you enter. The crowd are so close to the stage that they can literally feel the droplets of sweat coming off of the brows of their favourite artists, this creates an amazing connection between the musicians and the audience and I can tell you, the fans go wild!

I´d definitely recommend this venue to anyone, it has a great feel to it and the prices are at the lower end of what you would expect to pay in such a place. They also don't go over the top on drinks prices, and through it sounds weird, it´s not all that difficult to get to the bathroom which is a plus. So, without a doubt, the next time your favourite group is playing, come on down to the Apollo, oh, and did I mention it is in London? It couldn´t get any better.

Question:

You see this announcement in an international magazine.

The most UPLIFTING and the biggest DOWNER.
It's sometimes hard to choose a film that fits your mood purely on the basis of the poster or the description on the cover of the DVD. That's why we want to publish reviews of the most uplifting and the most depressing films our readers have seen, so that others know what to watch and what to avoid.
Send in a review which describes the most uplifting film you've ever seen and the one you found the biggest downer. Make sure you give reasons for your choices.

Write your review in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.

Model answer:

A tale of two films

If I were to present two of the most contrasting films about overcoming adversity it would be The Blind Side (2009) and Doctor Zhivago (1965). Whereas the former left me with a huge grin on my face, sadly, the latter left me feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders.

Doctor Zhivago, directed by five-time Oscar winner David Lean, is set in the Bolshevik revolution and follows the title character, who must adapt to the new order while pining for Lara, the beautiful wife of a political campaigner. The director succeeded in creating a film that is thoroughly engaging but full of gritty realism, cruelty and tragic irony. Take the tissues!

The Blind Side, which is based on a true story, is also a bit of a tearjerker, in a completely different way. Starring Sandra Bullock, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of a rich white mother in Tennessee who takes a homeless black teenager under her roof. Understandably, the gentle giant thinks he isn't good at anything but his new mother sees his potential to become a football star and part of the family. The plot is based on a true story, making it all the more touching.

I would strongly recommend The Blind Side. It will appeal to a range of people and is a great choice for a movie night. Although Doctor Zhivago is a classic, I think it has more of a niche audience and is best saved for when you want a dose of gloom!

Pixar's sci-fi comedy Hoppers (2026), written at a B2 English learning level with useful vocabulary and phrases in bold.

Introduction

Hoppers is a highly anticipated animated movie produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Directed by Daniel Chong, the creator of We Bare Bears, this film introduces an innovative concept to family cinema. The story follows a young, animal-loving student named Mabel who uses breakthrough technology to transfer her consciousness into a realistic robotic beaver. Her goal is to infiltrate the animal kingdom and uncover hidden mysteries within nature.

Plot and Major Themes

A central theme of the film is environmental preservation. Once Mabel enters the animal world as a beaver, she befriends a charismatic animal leader named King George. Together, they must rally the wildlife to protect their habitat from a greedy local mayor, voiced by Jon Hamm, who plans a destructive construction project. The film effectively balances heartfelt emotional moments with dark, slapstick comedy about the "circle of life". Critics have noted that it is reminiscent of the movie Avatar, but with a distinctly humorous, animal-focused twist.

Cast and Production

The movie features an all-star voice ensemble including Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, and Meryl Streep.

The Musical Score: The unique soundtrack was composed by Mark Mothersbaugh, which helps enhance the comedic timing of the wild action sequences.

Visual Style: Pixar utilizes cutting-edge animation techniques to make the movement of the robotic "hopper" animals feel distinctly different from the real forest wildlife.

Reception and Conclusion

The film premiered theatrically in March 2026 to overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and general audiences. It quickly became a box office success, grossing over $400 million worldwide. In conclusion, Hoppers manages to deliver a powerful message about environmentalism while keeping audiences thoroughly entertained. It proves that Pixar is still highly capable of creating original, wild, and unforgettable stories
