EXAMPLE OF MAKING REVIEW

THE FILM PRESENTED TWO PERSONS AT THE

BEGINNING OF THE FILM. THE MAN DRESSED
WITH FORMAL DRESS SEEMED VERY CURIOUS
TO THE LADY SHOWED IN THE FILM. THE LADY
LOOKED VERY SEXY, BEAUTIFUL AND VERY
ATTRACTIVE. EVENTUALLY THE MAN
FOLLOWED THE LADY UNTIL HE STOOD BESIDE
HER, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS VERY
SUPRAISED SINCE THE ATRACTIVE LADY HE
THOUGHT WAS NOT AS HIS EXPECTATION
SINCE THE LADY WAS A MAN.

BASED ON THIS REVIEW WE CAN CONCLUDE

THAT WE HAVE TO ENSURE UNPREDICTABLE
THINGS BY HAVING SERIOUS JUDGEMENT . OR
IN SHORT WE CAN SAY THAT DO NOT EVER
JUDGE A BOOK FORM ITS COVER BECAUSE
ONCE WE MAKE WRONG ASSUMPTION WE
WILL HAVE WRONG DECISION TO BE MADE.
