Pengertian Review Text

Secara harfiah, review bermakna "tinjauan, ringkasan, tinjauan ulang." Jika ada frasa book review berarti bermakna tinjauan buku. Karenanya, review text bisa diartikan secara harfiah sebagai teks yang difungsikan untuk meninjau. Apa saja yang ditinjau? ya apa saja lah, baik buku, produk kecantikan, mobil, hp, laptop dan lain sebagainya.

            I also learn a lot about the history of Islam in Europe. I know that Islam contribute a lot to Europe especially during The Dark Ages of Europe. But I never knew the trace of Islam is still left in present time.

            One side of the story tells about a man named Rangga which trying to adapt his believe and practice of Islam into a society which pretty much couldn’t careless about religion. The other perspective tells a story of Hanum (Rangga’s wife) learning new things about Islam in Europe.
