Happy New Year!!
How was your winter holiday?
I enjoyed Christmas with friends, but after that, I had a fever.
On the other hand, I had a good holiday.
I hope you enjoyed your holiday.
By the way, I will analyze these reviews.

Written
・What is the writing atyle of the review ?
I think the first half of the writing is reviewer's opinion about Sunday lunch. I felt the lunch for holiday is greatly important for the reviewer. The reviewer has a strong preference for the view from the restaurant, location, quality and price of the dishes. In the first half, there were a little difficult words for me. However, reviewer's impression of the restaurant was simple and easy to understand.
・Based on the review, would you like to try this resutaurant?
I thought I want to go to this restaurant, because the reviewer recommended there and I would like to have a relaxed weekend for lunch. The reviewer said the price of dishes were reasonable and taste was good! I want to eat Vitello tonnato which the reviewer recommended. It sounded like very tasty.
Visual
・What is focused on in the review?
The reviewer told good points of the restaurant, then she told bad things. I thoght she evaluated the restaurant objectively. I felt she focused on whether customers want to go to this restaurant again. She evaluated about the service, quality, price and so on.
・What criticisms do you have of the video, either concerning the professionalism, production quality or the content?
I thought it was good for us that the video has BGM and it was easy for us to understand her evaluation of the restaurant, because she told both of good points and bad points. I felt I wanted to know more dishes in this restaurant. I think Istanbul's food is not so popular in the world, and I also don't know the detail of them. Moreover, I felt there were a few visual of the restaurant and food.
I'm sorry to hear that you had a fever during the winter holiday, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy it despite that.
返信削除It's good that you pointed out that the reviewer mentioned the good points of the restaurant before bringing up the bad aspects. That is usually the case in reviews...good before bad.
I'm also glad that you noticed that the reviewer put a high value on having an enjoyable Sunday lunch. Traditionally in America, that was a day (and a meal) when the family would get together--often after church--and sit down for a long leisurely meal, particularly families with a southern European background, like mine. That would be a day when family members would be expected to participate in the meal and to socialize together. Family members who lived apart during the week might come together for this special meal on Sundays. Unfortunately, this custom is dying out in many families as the pace of life speeds up. It was a very strong custom when my parents were children, it was weakened a bit when I was growing up and mostly just involved the nuclear rather than extended family, and now it's harder and harder to get family members together to eat and talk, even on a Sunday. Perhaps it takes a strong mother to show leadership and insist that everyone take a time out to come to the table to share a meal and each others' company.
