Now begin to note down some of the frightening events in the book. Don't worry if you have lots - you
can choose the most frightening ones later.
Write down some synonyms for 'frightening' so you can vary your vocabulary in your composition:
e.g. scary, distressing, alarming, terrifying, shocking, horrifying, chilling
Remember that the task is a review, so what is the best style to use?
If the answer is 'no' to any of these questions then you will need to do some more drafting!
Communicative achievement
Semi-formal/informal register. Would be informed and would have enough information
to decide whether or not to read the book themselves.
Organisation
Should be divided into three or four paragraphs. Should mention early on in the review
what book is being written about. It's important not to reveal the book's ending.
Language
Language of description, summary and opinion ('In my view....'; 'The book's greatest
moment is....'). Present tenses should be used to narrate events. Should not contain
major errors that lead to misunderstandings or that irritate the reader.
