What is the most optimum way to write the internal part of a review, as well as its conclusion? In this episode, we will have a look at how to solve this problem looking at different angles.

From a semantic point of view, we will look at what to include and how to distribute it in different paragraphs. In order to acomplish this, we will use the TiPToP strategy: Ti(=Time), P(=Point), To(=Topic), P(=Place). From a synctactic perspective, we will review different strategies to make your sentences interesting and fun to read. From a grammatical standpoint, we will refresh the specific verb patterns associated with giving suggestions and recommendations. We will also introduce modals in passive constructions. You will be able to contrast what expressions to use in a formal, neutral or informal review.
