Assalamualaikum, wr wb
Hello guys! How are you doing? How was your holiday?
Thank you.
Ok, guys. Do any of you know what are we going to study today?
Today, we are of course going to learn English. And today's material is about
You guys must be having opinions about things, people, or even situation.
okay, so, we are going to learn it today! and you better be focus only about 10 minutes to go.
When we are negotiating, expressing opinions or simply chatting with a friend, we often have to
agree or disagree with the other person. Also, we don’t want to make a fight out of this, so we must
know how to show empathy with different opinions and also disagree without sounding aggressive.
It is very difficult to convince when they think you are attacking. We need to express our opinions
and, at the same time, show that we are listening, understanding and appreciating the other
opinions. If they feel comfortable, they will be more open to our ideas, opinions or suggestions. Here
are different ways of doing so in a conversation.
Tip: It is always a good idea to justify your opinions. Don’t just say 'I agree' or 'I disagree', but say 'I
agree because I think that ... (explain your reason)', etc.
To my mind… (pendapatku…)
Besides giving opinion, we also often ask for it. For asking for opinion, we can say:
Is that right?
AGREEING
Of course
Yes, I agree.
I think so too.
Exactly.
That’s true.
I hear you.
PROTESTING POLITELY
DISAGREEING POLITELY
On the contrary...
No way!
Absolutely wrong.
But of course!
ACTUALLY
In English, this word is very important, and very common, when you want to disagree politely or
when you want to correct without offending. Let's see a few examples:
- They want to start using uniforms in my son's school. What a stupid thing!
- Well, actually I think it's a good idea. Social differences won't be so obvious then.
