In this unit, we learn some entertainment reviews. If you are asked to write a band review, I think the following items must be mentioned in your article. (1) the name of the band (2)the place where the band comes from (3)the number of the members (4) your favorite member or the most popular member(name, appearance, job, the reason why you like them best)(5)music(what kind of music do they play, lyrics, the most popular song, how do you feel about their music). Health is the most important to us. Everyone should keep a balanced diet every day and often do sports to keep healthy.
