In the process of studying abroad, examining a Critical Review (Criticial Review) is an essential part of the process, from which not only can we gain a deeper understanding of the students’ ability to think, but also cultivate their own reasoning and judgement, as well as everything should be seen from both sides of the good point of view. In this paper, we will analyse in detail how to make a critical analysis of the concept of the essay.
I. Introduction
The opening paragraph of a critical review usually contains the following elements: the title of the work, the name of the author, and the date of release. It highlights the theme of the work, defines the author’s position, and describes his or her personal understanding of the work and subsequent ideas for the essay.
Abstract
In the abstract, the core idea of the work should be briefly summarised, including elements such as characters, events, place and time. In addition, the structure, style or point of view of the text may be explored.
Analysis
In the analysis section, the strengths and weaknesses of the work need to be examined critically. For example, one can analyse issues such as whether the author has successfully conveyed his/her point of view, whether there is enough information, whether the argument is strong and how effective it is.
IV. Conclusion
In the conclusion section, the individual’s point of view needs to be re-emphasised and the main points summarised in new or stronger terms.
V. Tips
When writing a critical review, one should remain critical of the cited information and should not blindly accept what has been published. A critical review is not a total rejection but aims to make suggestions for improving the research or article.
VI. Conclusion
Critical review is a comprehensive and in-depth form of writing that helps to improve our logical thinking and analytical skills. Hopefully, the above suggestions will help you do a better job of writing a critical review. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
