Write a review that separates description and judgement

Eine Kulturveranstaltung differenziert bewerten

Support an evaluation with specific features and keep personal preference distinct from a universal verdict.

A review combines a description of the work, concrete observations and the reviewer’s evaluation. The sentence Die Einführung dauerte zwanzig Minuten reports a duration; Für mich war die Einführung zu lang evaluates it against a preference. Explain the link: Weil ich bereits Vorwissen hatte, empfand ich die Wiederholungen als wenig hilfreich. Nuance can come from zwar … jedoch, teilweise or für ein Publikum ohne Vorkenntnisse. Do not make every judgement look objective by dropping its reference point. Conversely, a personal evaluation can still be well argued. A useful conclusion recommends the event to a specified audience, acknowledging both a strong feature and a limitation supported by the account.
