    Exercise 6 of the IGCSE paper could be a Review for a book that you enjoyed

    (or didn’t!)

    The exercise is worth 15 marks (6 marks for Content and 9 marks for Language)
    and you should write about 120 – 160 words.

    These are the main elements of a Book Review:

    • Introduction: state the book’s title, author’s full name, the setting of the
    story, giving a one-line description of what the story is about. Use
    adjectives to describe the book such as’ insightful, beautiful,
    controversial’ etc.
    • Brief description: give a one-paragraph synopsis of the plot of the book,
    shortly expanding your one-sentence description in the introduction.
    Don’t write the whole story, only the beginning! Use the present
    tense of verbs and linking words to outline the story chronologically.
    Bonus points if you can use words that fit the theme of the story. If, for
    example, the book is of the fantasy genre, use words like ‘magic,
    summon, fate, spells’ etc.
    • Opinion: this is where you have to write down how the book impacted
    you. Was it inspiring? Thought-provoking? Life-changing? You could
    praise the book or criticise it, stating why.
    • Recommendation: you must state whether you would recommend this
    book, to whom and why.
