Every person in the world is different and unique. Expressing your opinion accurately and fluently will better allow you express your individualism. So, what is your opinion about this matter? Well, now you are going to learn about how to ask for and give opinion.

We may ask others’ opinion or thought if we want to know theirs. On the other hand, we can also give our opinion or idea if someone ask it from us. Present tense and first person are used in this matter. We also use connectives. They may be sequence which is used to structure whole text (firstly, secondly, etc.), cause and effect to link points within paragraphs (consequently, as a result, etc.), and comparison to link different arguments (however, but, etc.). Sometimes rhetorical question is also used to pose the issue and involves readers. To make a dramatic point, we may also use exclamation in asking for and giving opinion.
Study these following expressions!
GIVING OPINION
1.   Giving your opinion neutrally
I think ….
I feel that ….
In my opinion ….
As far as I’m concerned ….
As I see it ….
In my view ….
I tend to think that ….
2.  Asking someone’s opinion
What do you think?
What’s your view?
How do you see the situation?
What’s your opinion?
What are your ideas?
Do you have any thought on that?
How do you feel about that?
3.  Agreeing with an opinion
I completely agree with you.
Of course.
You’re absolutely right.
Yes, I agree.
I think so too.
That’s a good point.
Exactly.
I don’t think so either.
So do I.
That’s true.
Neither do I.
4.  Disagreeing with an opinion
That’s different.
I don’t agree with you.
However ….
That’s not entirely true.
On the contrary ….
I’m sorry to disagree with you, but ….
Yes, but don’t you think ….
That’s not the same thing at all.
I’m afraid I have to disagree.
I’m not so sure about that.

Dialogue:
Hannah: In my opinion, the good school is the one that makes a balance between discipline
and fun.
Amy: I completely agree with you, Hannah. Too much focus on discipline can make a school like a prison, and excessive focus on fun makes it a park rather than a school. So balance is better.
Paul: I’m sorry to say this, but I totally disagree with you. What is the point of fun in a school? To my mind, the good school is the one where you don’t have to study such useless subjects as foreign languages.
Amy: I don’t agree with you, Paul. I think foreign languages are very important nowadays.
Hannah: You are right, Amy. There is no good school that doesn’t teach foreign languages today.
