Example of a review

**Introduction:**

I’ve had the iPhone 15 Pro for about a month now. I picked it because I wanted a phone with an awesome camera and better performance. Plus, the switch to USB-C is cool. I use my phone a lot for school and social media, so I needed something fast and reliable.

**Features:**

The iPhone 15 Pro has a super clear screen and everything looks really smooth because of the 120Hz refresh rate. It’s also crazy fast with the A17 chip. The camera is amazing, especially the 48MP main one. I love using the night mode and the Pro camera feature for taking cool pics.

This is great for people who use their phone a lot for photos, videos, or school.

**Pros and Cons:**

The battery lasts all day, even when I’m on my phone a lot, which is awesome. The camera is definitely one of my favorite things. But the price is super high, and it doesn’t have as many ways to customize things like Android phones do.

**Personal Opinion:**

I’m really happy with the iPhone 15 Pro. It’s fast, takes amazing photos, and overall just works great. I’d totally recommend it to people who care about having a good camera and fast phone. But if you’re on a budget, it’s probably not the best option since it’s so expensive.

**Conclusion:**

The best thing about the iPhone 15 Pro is how fast it is and how great the camera is. It’s perfect for people who use their phone a lot for photos, videos, or school. But if you’re trying to save money, you might want to look for something cheaper.

Word order

Wat is de volgorde voor een Engelse zin:

Onderwerp - Werkwoord - Object

Voorbeeld: Charlie bought a new car.

Als je een bijwoord moet toevoegen staat deze voor het werkwoord (behalve bij het werkwoord to be). 

Staan er twee werkwoorden in de zin dan staat het bijwoord er tussenin. (Bijwoorden geven vaak aan hoe vaak iets gebeurt.)

Voorbeelden word order

We rarely go to the cinema

She is often away during the weekend.

Mason can sometimes work on saturday.

You can not always get what you want.
