Struktur Review Text

Struktur Umum Review Text
Sobat pasti sudah mengetahui bahwa di setiap jenis teks yang ada di dalam bahasa Inggris memiliki struktur yang berbeda. Struktur tersebut di dalam review text, terdapat empat struktur kalimat, yaitu:

Introduction
Di bagian ini, sobat harus menuliskan sebuah preview atau gambaran umum mengenai sebuah karya atau benda yang akan sobat tinjau atau nilai di dalam review text tersebut. Gambaran umum merupakan informasi spesifik mengenai karya atau benda tersebut, seperti nama karya atau benda, kegunaan karya atau benda, dan sebagainya.

Evaluation
Di dalam bagian ini Anda bisa masuk lebih detail dan lebih dalam. Sesuai dengan namanya, bagian ini adalah bagian dimana Anda bisa memberikan evaluasi. Di dalam bagian ini, sobat bisa memberikan gambaran yang lebih mendetail mengenai suatu karya atau benda yang akan Anda nilai atau review. Hal yang bisa sobat tulis di bagian ini adalah berupa bagian-bagiannya, keunikan maupun kualitasnya. Tapi yang berhubungan dengan fakta tanpa memasukkan pendapat pribadi sobat.
Yang harus sobat catat adalah, pastikan bahwa sobat menghindari untuk menulis terlalu banyak deskripsi mengenai karya atau benda tersebut sehingga tidak terkesan ‘mengajarkan’ pembaca yang membaca review text sobat pintar. Istilah yang umum digunakan dalam struktur ini adalah mengenai ‘baik’ atau ‘tidaknya karya atau benda yang sobat tulis.

Interpretation
Setelah menulis evaluasi yang cukup di bagian sebelumnya, pada bagian ini, waktunya sobat menuliskan pandangan atau pendapat pribadi sobat mengenai karya atau benda yang sobat tulis atau yang sobat review. Pada bagian interpretation ini sobat bisa melakukan sebuah evaluasi terhadap karya atau benda dari sudut pandang sobat. sobat juga bisa membandingkan karya atau benda yang sobat tinjau dengan karya atau benda lain yang serupa untuk lebih dapat mendukung dan memperkuat pandangan sobat terhadap karya atau benda yang Anda nilai.

Di sini sobat juga bisa menuliskan bagian apa dari karya atau benda yang sobat nilai yang merupakan kelebihan atau kekurangan dari karya atau benda tersebut. Sobat juga bisa memberikan nilai terhadap karya atau benda tersebut.

Summary
Di struktur terakhir, sobat sebagai penulis dapat memberikan kesimpulan pada bagian terakhir dari Review text. Setelah sobat memberikan evaluasi yang mendetail di bagian evaluasi dan memberikan pandangan sobat terhadap karya atau benda tersebut di bagian interpretation, di bagian ini sobat bisa menjelaskan apakah karya atau benda yang di reviewnya berharga atau tidak untuk calon pembeli yaitu pembaca. Atau apakah harga yang ditawarkan sesuai dengan kualitasnya, atau jika yang di review merupakan film atau lagu, apakah akan worth it untuk di tonton atau di dengar!

Contoh Review Text:
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie Review

Introduction
All and each Harry Potter series both movies and book hold a particular part in my heart. And by that means, I love it all. No, I won't talk about the whole series, I could end up with one new book if I did, so only for specific the 6th series of Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half of Blood Prince.

Evaluation 1:
May slightly unsatisfying for those who read the book.

Evaluation 2:
It's a dark time for Harry. It's like a cup of hot cocoa on your cold morning, but your cat breaks the cup.

Interpretation:
Harry Potter books have been a hit and been more potent since the Warner Bros decide to bring it to life through a movie. One or two changes from the text in the film is undeniable. We all know Harry has to feel one more lost on the last movie because Bellatrix killed his God-father, Sirius Black after they talk about lives together in an entirely safe village far from anywhere. Sure it's like a thunder strikes on the midday for Harry.
As we always want for Harry happiness, many have hope that everything he's been through will paid on the Half-Blood Prince. At the first hour of this movie, we can see Harry doing great for his Potion class even beat Hermione, thanks to the book previously owned by The Half-Blood Prince he found at the bottom of the cupboard.
But another dreary, depressing feel once again must we see on this movie as Dumbledore fall from the attic after being Avada Kedavra by his trusted man, Severus Snape aka the Half-Blood Prince. Not many things from the book were adapted. Instead, it almost entirely different. After the movie was released, you can hear some voice of disappointment roaring from some of the fans, including me.

Summary
Nevertheless, this is still an excellent movie to watch and of course worth your time. 7 starts out of 10 for the Half-Blood Prince! Worry not because every question and every scene missed in this movie will be soon explained on Deathly Hallows.
