4. Read the WRITING FOCUS and find examples of each point in the review.
(Đọc TRỌNG TÂM VIẾT và tìm ví dụ về từng điểm trong bài đánh giá.)
WRITING FOCUS A review The goal of a review is to give your personal opinion about something, e.g. a film, a series or a book. The opinion should be supported with examples and recommendations should be given at the end. Reviews are usually written for newspapers, websites or magazines and therefore have a fairly informal style. Introduction • Attract readers' attention with an interesting opening sentence. • Mention the type of show, the stars/director/ writer, the setting, obvious influences, etc. • State your overall opinion. Main paragraphs • Use present tenses to give more details about the plot and the main characters. • Use present or past tenses to say what you liked/ didn't like about the TV series. • Use a variety of adjectives and modifiers when presenting your opinions. Conclusion • Summarise your review. • Make recommendations. |
TẬP TRUNG VIẾT Đánh giá Mục tiêu của đánh giá là đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân của bạn về điều gì đó, ví dụ: một bộ phim, một bộ truyện hay một cuốn sách. Ý kiến cần được hỗ trợ bằng các ví dụ và khuyến nghị nên được đưa ra ở cuối. Các bài đánh giá thường được viết cho các tờ báo, trang web hoặc tạp chí và do đó có phong cách khá thân mật. Giới thiệu • Thu hút sự chú ý của người đọc bằng câu mở đầu thú vị. • Đề cập đến loại chương trình, ngôi sao/đạo diễn/ nhà văn, bối cảnh, những ảnh hưởng rõ ràng, v.v. • Nêu ý kiến chung của bạn. Đoạn văn chính • Dùng thì hiện tại để cung cấp thêm chi tiết về cốt truyện và các nhân vật chính. • Dùng thì hiện tại hoặc quá khứ để nói điều bạn thích/không thích về bộ phim truyền hình. • Sử dụng nhiều tính từ và từ bổ nghĩa khi trình bày ý kiến của mình. Phần kết luận • Tóm tắt đánh giá của bạn. • Kiến nghị. |
