7. MAIN BODY

2nd paragraph:
A basic summery of the plot. What happens? (This
is often done in the Present Simple)
3rd paragraph:
The strong points of the film/book, or the weak
points, or both (remember to use contrasting
expressions: however, on the other hand, in
contrast). It’s good idea to try and think of one
negative aspect of a good film/book or one positive
aspect of a bad film/book, if you can. It makes
review look more balanced.
