Journal Article Review

Research Article Review
Science Article Review

Much like all other reviews, a ___ article review evaluates

strengths and weaknesses of a publication. A qualified
paper writer must provide the reader with an analysis and
interpretation that demonstrates the article’s value.
___ article review involves anything in the realm of
science. Often, publications include more information on
the background that you can use to analyze the publication
more comprehensively.
It differs from a journal article review by the way that it
evaluates the research method used and holds that
information in retrospect to analysis and critique.

Task 1. Read the text and complete it with the headings from
the box

___ 1. These essays tell a story and often are the most
personal type of essay you may write. They allow you to
exercise creativity and imagination, and you can base them
on a particular prompt, such as the first time you drove a car
by yourself, or a more open-ended prompt, like a time you
overcame a fear. You may submit an essay, usually called a
personal statement, for college or graduate school
applications. It generally has an opening that gets the reader's
attention and provides enough background information for
the story to make sense. A conclusion helps summarize the
main point of your essay or reiterate your goals.
___ 2. These essays provide a detailed description of your
subject. This may be a person, place, thing or event. It allows
for a more creative approach to writing. Unlike narrative
essays, which provide a complete story, descriptive essays
often focus only on the subject. When writing this type of
essay, consider including vivid imagery and incorporate
actions, thoughts, sensory details and emotions to immerse
the reader instead of simply explaining the situation or
events. This can make your writing more engaging and help
the reader feel more involved and connected to your essay
and its characters.
___3. These essays explain a topic neutrally. Writers use it to
demonstrate their knowledge or expertise in a certain area.
Teachers often assign these essays to test their students'
understanding of a topic. These essays often avoid emotion
or opinion and instead focus on factual information. For
instance, if you're writing about environmental conservation,
try to avoid claiming someone should do something or taking
a stance on a controversial issue.
___4. These essays are a type of exposition essay that defines
a term or idea. These essays typically examine complex or
abstract topics and provide in-depth analysis and
explanations. For instance, it might discuss what
existentialism is or the meaning of quantum physics. These
essays are common in academic and research settings.
___5. These essays are another type of exposition essay that
describes how to do something or how something works.
You can write a it in chronological order to maintain
organization and clarity. Process essays usually contain the
following elements:
 Introduction: Introduce the process you will describe.
 Body: These paragraphs describe each step in
chronological order. Consider using transition words
that signal where you are in the process.
 Conclusion: Finish your essay with a conclusion that
summarizes the process to help the reader remember
the most important idea of the document.
___ 6. These essays discuss two subjects and detail the
similarities and differences between them. These essays
include an introduction, at least one paragraph to explain the
subjects' similarities, at least one paragraph to discuss
differences and a conclusion. These essays are common in
academic settings. An example of this essay is one describing
the similarities and differences between bees and wasps.
___ 7. These essays try to convince the reader to take a
certain side based on the information the writer presents.
These essays rely on facts rather than emotion to sway the
readers. For instance, it may discuss why companies should
offer wellness packages as part of their benefits plan. The
essay can incorporate research about how regular exercise
increases productivity and how people who eat well and
work out take fewer sick days. These essays avoid first- or
second-person statements. Rather, they support one side of an
argument and may argue against other sides using objective
information. You can use phrases like "Research suggests" or
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention" to present the facts that support your argument.
___ 8. These essays aim to persuade readers to have an
opinion or take a side using facts and emotional appeals. To
support an argument or cause, these essays can include moral
and emotional reasoning to connect to the reader. For
example, this essay about the previous topic of companies
including wellness packages in employee benefits may
include appeals to employers' satisfaction with providing an
extra perk for their employees. It also could discuss
employers' responsibility to ensure their employees have
access to features that keep them healthy or how excited and
grateful employees are for the new benefits.
___ 9. These essays detail why certain events or situations
led to other events. Writers create a clear connection between
the two sets of events or circumstances and explain what
features of the initiating event created the subsequent
incidents. These essays are types of expository essays, so
they state facts and avoid subjective opinions. This essay
may examine how Charles Darwin's scientific discoveries led
to the origin of new theories of social science, for instance.
___ 10. These essays provide an in-depth analysis of a topic.
They can critique paintings, books, movies, plays or
restaurants. Many college courses, especially literature and
humanities courses, require these essays as a way to test
students' ability to think critically and identify evidence from
a specific work that validates their observations. These
essays use facts from the subject to justify an opinion. For
instance, in a movie review, a writer could note a movie uses
boring dialogue. They then could support that observation by
citing specific lines from the film.

Task 2. Role play. Work in pairs.

You are two old friends that met in the café. You start talking
