How to write helpful shop reviews

One of my favorite things to do whenever I visit a new neighbourhood is to check out the local shops. I love to browse the shelves and sort through the clothing racks/stands to find cool, unique pieces.

 

The reviews you share on Google Maps can help others like me discover great boutiques to go to. 

Here are a few tips for writing these reviews.

1 - Identify the shop: write the name and the location of the shop, and classify it (specify the type of shore it is).

2 - Include the types of items you can find there: share details about the brands, prices and quality. f the store sells all of its own merchandise, be sure to mention that too. You may also want to include where some of the items were made.

3. Give your opinion. You can even share a review of a specific item you purchased there.

What did you think of the item you bought there? Was it worth the value? Who would you recommend it to?

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The list contains good reviews for boutique, reviews for dress designers, reviews for sweaters, jeans, jacket, shoes and more.

Classical three part structure

In every essay-writing, as high school student know, you lead with an introduction, elaborate your main points in the body, and summarize your argument in the conclusion. A well-developed oral presentation adheres to the same structure.

Opening

Of the three parts, it is your opening that will vary the most from essay to essay in terms of style and content. Before you dive into your main points, the reader must know: 1) who you are, 2) what you are going to talk about, and 3) why they should care. 

Review these points prior to your essay and spend no more time addressing them than you have to. 

Body

Dive into your main points but remember to keep them short. 

Conclusion

A conclusion should summarize your key points and reinforce the overall message of your essay. 

Consider if your essay was intended to motivate your audience to a particular action. Your conclusion should make this suggestion explicit. If, however, the essay was for information purposes only, then it might be a good idea to repeat the most important information one last time.

How to write a semi-formal email

A semi-formal e-mail is written to someone that you know by name and with whom you have a professional or business relationship with, for instance; your teacher, accountant, landlord, etc. The surname should be used when addressing them – Dear Mrs.Thomas, Dear Mr Jones.

A semi-formal greeting > Dear Mr Hopkins, Dear Mrs Thomas.

When signing off the e-mail, ‘Yours truly’, ‘Sincerely yours’ and ‘Yours faithfully’ would be used for semi-formal or formal e-mails. In semi-formal e-mails, you can also use – ‘With best wishes’ and ‘With regards’.
