Who is the target reader: website, Great Lives
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.
Step 2: title.
The review should start with the title, and there are several ways to write it:
Title (book): Green Lantern by Stephen King (by) Title (hotel): Ibiza Hotel in Barcelona – a review (a review) Title (restaurant): Taco Bell: U n forgettable experience (catchy)
we will use this title in our guide : TITLE : Mandela: Striving for Freedom — a review
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.
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 – users of the website, Great Lives
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.

– engaging/interesting vocabulary

Cae review sample 1.
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.
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.
Cae review sample 2.
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.
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!

A review may be about a book, magazine, film, play or concert; it may also be about a product or a service. A review in the C1 Advanced Writing paper does not merely ask for a general description of the thing reviewed, but requires an evaluation of its suitability for a particular purpose or audience. The target reader is specified in the task, and candidates should be encouraged to use this information when choosing appropriate ideas and language to include in their response.from: Cambridge English First Handbook for Teachers
Reviews are fun.
Reviews are fun because reading reviews is fun. Who doesn’t enjoy a few opinions from other people before making the decision on which restaurant to go to, which film to watch or which book to buy? Also, in our day and age, we are constantly looking at social proof for a wide range of topics so reviews are much more natural to us than they were only a few years ago when the internet wasn’t everywhere so you might even have written about a few of your own experiences online.
Speaking from my experience as a teacher and preparing numerous students for the exam, I can say that most review tasks look pretty much the same. The structure is very very similar and once you know what to look for, you can use it to your advantage by saving a lot of time and going into the test ready and calm.
You might ask yourself why it is so important to know who you are writing for, but this tells you exactly if you should use formal, neutral or informal language. Imagine you had to write to your boss or the director of your school. You would choose a more formal style than if you were writing to your friends. In our example, we should choose something that is more of a neutral style. After all, we don’t the people on the website, but we want to keep it light and as interesting as possible.
Now that we know what the task’s topic is, what exactly we need to include and the tone we should write in, it is time to look at the structure of a review. Luckily, this can be repeated from review to review and you simply have to change the content depending on the topic and main points.
I say this in every article I write here on teacherphill.com and I’m going to say it again in this post because it is such an important piece of advice. Unfortunately, many candidates simply ignore or forget about it and find themselves in the official C1 Advanced exam nervous and unprepared so I want you to include this in your practice.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom – a review Have you ever been so passionate about something that you would sacrifice your very best years for it? Would you even put it ahead of your family and friends? In the film Mandela: Lond Walk to 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.
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. 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 a 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 .
I’ve highlighted some of the more important language features for you. At the beginning of each paragraph, I play with contrasting statements (while, despite) as this keeps the reader guessing. I also tried to use some vocabulary that is specific to Mandela’s life (anti-apartheid movement, sacrifice themselves, segregated society, racial abuse…had to endure, stand up and fight for equality) and some words and expressions to make the review more interesting for the reader (one-of-a-kind, captured and imprisoned, it is a testament to…, astonished).
All in all, Mandela: Long Walk to 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 or buy the film as soon as you can and I promise you won’t regret it.

The moment you click 'publish' is exhilarating. You've done it! You're self-publishing your book!
However, before you do that, there's a lot of work to be done. That exciting moment should be the culmination of careful planning and preparation.
To ensure that your book is well-received and reflects your best work, it’s essential to take several crucial steps before you press the 'publish' button. This guide to how to get a book published is designed to take you through the steps that will maximise your book’s potential.
The very first step, of course, is to finish your manuscript. But simply writing it is only the beginning.
Self-editing Once your first draft is complete, take a break before diving back in for self-editing. This distance allows you to view your work with fresh eyes. Look for inconsistencies in plot, character development, pacing, and grammar. You can use tools like Grammarly to assist with grammar checks, but don’t rely solely on technology – your instincts as a writer are invaluable.
Beta readers Consider sharing your manuscript with beta readers who can provide constructive feedback. Choose individuals who fit your target audience or are well-versed in your genre. Providing them with specific questions or areas you want feedback onh can lead to more actionable insights.
Types of Editing
Once you’ve self-edited and gathered feedback from beta readers, it’s time to seek professional help. There are several types of editing:
Finding an editor Ask for recommendations from fellow writers or consult reputable sources such as those listed in The Self Publishing Guide . Review their samples and testimonials to make sure their approach is in line with your vision for your book.
Once your manuscript is polished, it’s time to format it for publication. Formatting correctly is vital. Poor formatting can turn readers away, regardless of the story's quality.
Formatting for different platforms Different platforms (ie Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, or print) have specific formatting guidelines. You can check out The Self Publishing Guide for specific advice on the formatting requirement each online publishing platform.
For print, create a PDF that adheres to the specific dimensions and requirements of your chosen print service.
DIY vs. professional formatting You can format your manuscript yourself, but investing in professional formatting can ensure that your book looks polished and professional, which can lead to better reviews and sales.
Don't underestimate the importance of cover design. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the fact is, most readers do. Your cover is the first impression potential readers will have of your book, so it's crucial to invest time and resources into a compelling design.
Using a professional designer Just as with editing, hiring a professional cover designer can make a significant difference. Look for designers with experience in your genre and ensure their style resonates with your vision.
DIY cover design If you decide to design your cover yourself, tools like Canva or Adobe Spark can help you create something visually appealing. However, ensure that your cover meets industry standards in terms of resolution and dimensions.

Your book description is a powerful marketing tool. It should capture the essence of your story, enticing readers to dive in, in a succinct, carefully crafted form.
Tips for writing a compelling description
Consider asking friends, other writers or beta readers for feedback on your book description. A fresh perspective can be useful to help you refine your messaging.
Before you launch your book, establishing your author platform will help you connect with readers and promote your work effectively.
Building a professional website Your website is your digital home. It should include:
Use the social media platforms where your target readers spend their time. Regularly engage with readers and other authors. Share writing tips, behind-the-scenes content, or snippets of your work to connect with your audience.
Developing a marketing plan and robust marketing strategy is essential for self-published authors. Begin by identifying your target audience and where they are most active online. Troubador Publishing has lots of information about using social media to build your brand .
Social media marketing Make the most of social media to promote your book. Create a content calendar for your posts. Consider sharing:
Email marketing Building an email list is a crucial step. Offer something valuable – ie a free short story or writing tips – in exchange for email sign-ups. Regular newsletters can keep your audience informed about your book launch, events, and special promotions.
Line up your marketing ducks! IngramSpark have a free interactive worksheet for indie authors to help them with their marketing strategy.
Set a launch date. Choose a date that gives you sufficient time for marketing and preparation. Consider seasonal trends in your genre, holidays, or events that may align with your release.
Build anticipation. Create buzz around your launch. Use social media teasers, share your book cover, and engage with your audience. Consider hosting a virtual launch event to celebrate your book's publication, inviting friends, family, and readers to join.
Reviews have a significant impact on your book’s visibility and credibility.
You can ask for advance reviews by approaching:
Before you hit 'publish', run through a final checklist to ensure everything is in order:
Self-publishing can be a fulfilling journey, so make the most of it with careful planning and execution. By taking the necessary steps before you hit the 'publish' button, you not only increase your chances of success but also ensure that your work is the best it can be. From professional editing to effective marketing, each step contributes to building your identity as a self-published author and engaging your audience.
