Writing a review

Let's do a test

Fill in the first adjective you think of into the following empty spaces, don’t use the same one

twice. 

The smiley lets you know whether the adjective should be positive or negative.

1) A(n) __________ book ☺

2) A(n) __________ meal ☹

3) A(n) __________ experience ☺

4) A(n) __________ trip ☹

Why are so many answers the same?

Usually those are the more simple words and phrases. 

Pay attention to this when reading your work for the first time.
