OPINION & THOUGHT

Hello friends, how are you? I hope you are fine. Now on my blog the material is Thought and opinion.

Asking Opinion or Giving Opinion

In my opinion.....
I think.....
What I mean is.....
Personally I think.....
In my experience.....
According to me.....
I strongly believe that.....
As far as I am concerned.....
From my point of view.....
As I understand.....
As I see it.....
I reckon.....
I am compelled to say.....
By this I mean.....
To my mind.....
Would like to point out that.....
In my humble opinion.....

Agreeing with an Opinion

Of course.
This is absolutely right.
I agree with this opinion.
I couldn't agree more.
I agree with what you are saying.
I agree, I never thought of that.
Neither do I.
That's a good point.
I think so too.

Disagreeing with an opinion

I am sorry, I don't agree with you.
I am not sure I agree with you.
I don't agree with you.
I am afraid I have to disagree with you.
I do not believe that.
By this I mean.....
I disagree with you.
I think you are wrong.
That's not the same thing at all.
It is not justified to say so.
I am not convinced that.....
I can't say I agree with this, and here's why.....

Example :

Sarah and Naurah are talking about bullying. Both of them agree that bullying should be stopped no matter how small it is.

Naurah : Hello Sarah, how are you?

Sarah : Hello Naurah, I'm fine thank you. How about you?

Naurah : I'm fine too.

Sarah : Have you seen the news about the girl who got bullied and committed suicide because of it?

Naurah : Yeah... I've seen that news on TV. I feel very sad for her.

Sarah : Me too. I think it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I heard it's because she was often teased by her classmates about her weight and appearance.

Naurah : I think people should be careful with their words. We might think that it's only a small teasing. But we don't really understand the impact of our words for other people.

Sarah : I agree. I feel that we shouldn't tease others even if it's small, it's considered as bullying too. Don't you think so?

Naurah : I think so too. In my opinion, we should start telling good things to other people instead of teasing them. If we see someone gets bullied, we have to help them. Some people ended up joining the bully when they should've helped the victim.

Sarah : I totally agree. I really think we should stand up for the person who gets bullied and don't turn our back on them.

Naurah : Have you ever seen someone got bullied?

Sarah : I haven't. Have you?

Naurah : Me neither. I just hope no one gets bullied in our school.

Sarah : Yeah, you're right. I hope so too.

Naurah : From now on, if we see someone gets bullied, we should help them.

Sarah: I couldn't agree more.
