Pada kehidupan sehari-hari kita pasti pernah memiliki opini
pada sesuatu yang kita lihat, dengar, maupun rasakan. Entah
opini itu mendukung atau bertentangan satu dengan yang
lainnya. Opini merupakan sebuah teks atau dialog yang
mengandung pendapat tentang suatu hal, Biasanya opini satu
sama lain itu berbeda atau bertentangan, tergantung pada
sudut pandang mana kita memihak. Ketika kita memberikan
atau mengekspresikan opini kita, penting sekali untuk
memberikan alasannya untuk mendukung opini itu sendiri.
Kata kerja yang biasanya digunakan dalam opini adalah agree
(setuju), believe (percaya), reckon (memperhitungkan),
