HOW TO WRITE A GOOD REVIEW pt. 1
So i wanted to make a small guide on how to write a good review because a lot of us arent native English speakers (including me) and struggle it.
So the term "good review" is always subjective!
But I added a few guide questions that I think is important in a review.
FIRST RULE:
ACTUALLY TEST IT AND BE HONEST! No one is going to kill you if you dislike a product!
I N T R O
So what I always learned in school is to start with a introduction sentence what I like to do is write if it works for me or not.
Something like "Didn't work for me.." So the user knows in which direction it goes.

What I do is "repeating" my first sentence and draw a conclusion.
So you're going back to the beginning and have a "cirle" review.
"As mentioned at the beginning this product didnt work for me because ..." .
That what my teacher always preach to have so idk
Dont forget to add some pictures and you're good to go!
I hope this could helped you a little bit!
I know this is not everything! A lot of things are missing! It's just a guide that you can go over when writing a review. I also dont answer all questions. (Pls dont come at my current reviews.. I know they lack a looot)
I'm planning a part two where I add some vocab on how to write a review (like texture: watery, viscous, ...)
So stay tuned!
What are other points that you think is important in a review? Just comment and I add them in this post!
