WRITING ASSIGNMENT 3 – WEEKEND CLASS LEVEL 7B (YOUNG LEARNER)

1. Read the book review below.

Book Review Title: “If you are hungry for a good book, read on!”

2. Write your own book review (200 – 250 words). You must follow the rules below (a
– d).

a) In the first paragraph, attract the reader’s attention. You can do

this by addressing him/her directly, especially with questions.
E.g., “Have you ever read a book that you just couldn’t put
down?”.
b) Use an informal style. You can even use some jokes – E.g., “So if
you haven’t read it yet, buy it, borrow it, or steal it (just
kidding!) as soon as you can.
c) Choose a good title for your article.
d) Give your review a good structure:
Paragraph 1 – Introduction. Attract the reader and give some
background information about the book. Give your opinion of the
book for the first time.
Paragraph 2 – Describe the plot and characters.
Paragraph 3 – Mention what you liked/didn’t like.
Paragraph 4 – Conclusion. Repeat the main idea given in the
introduction, but using different words. It should also include the
writer’s opinion and, if appropriate, a recommendation.
