A school talent show worth remembering
You have attended a school talent show.
Write a review for your school magazine. Your readers include pupils who watched the show and pupils who are thinking about attending the next one. Use the information in the table below, but you may add small details of your own.
| Feature of the show | Information to use |
|---|---|
| Opening act | A Year 8 drumming group performed a lively routine. |
| Strongest performance | A solo singer performed a quiet song and was accompanied by a guitarist. |
| Presentation | The host kept the evening moving and made the audience laugh. |
| Weakness | The change between two acts took several minutes because equipment had to be moved. |
| Audience experience | Most pupils joined in with the final group performance. |
Discuss what made the evening enjoyable or disappointing, using examples to help classmates decide whether to attend next year's show. Do not simply list the acts in order.
You may organise your review in five paragraphs:
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
