Giving Opinion

Part 1: Read the conversations below. Then, complete the table by identifying the expression of
opinion found in the conversations, as well as answering the following item.

Conversation A, between Krisna and Attar:

Krisna : Why are you looking so sad?
Attar : I was reading an opinion article on bullying. It made me extremely sad.
Krisna : Ah, people like to exaggerate things, bullying is not a big deal.
Attar : No, I don’t think so. Bullying is prevalent in our society. It is important that
everyone should be made aware of this.
Krisna : I don’t agree with you. Little bit teasing here and there is acceptable.
Attar : I strongly believe that no one has any right to harass or make people feel
inferior. No one should have that kind of power.
Krisna : Hey stop. You are getting too serious.
Attar : Yes. You should be serious about it as well. I would like to point out that
bullying is everyone’s problem and responsibility. If you condone bullying in
any way, shape or form, it means you are taking part in it, whether it is directly
or indirectly by being silent.

Conversation B, between Kaira and Salsa:

Kaira: What do you think we should do about video games?
Salsa: In my opinion, video games offer a lot of benefits. They can relax a child’s
mind after a tiring day at school.
Kaira: Actually, I am not sure about that. According to the article I read, video games
make children lazy. Playing video games is addictive. Therefore, many children
prefer playing video games to studying.
Salsa: I don’t think that’s a very good argument, because video games can trigger
children to be more creative. The games provide a challenge that can sharpen
their brains.
Kaira: Sorry, I don’t see it that way. There is no easy solution to this dilemma.

Part 2: Complete the table below by answer the question. You can agree or disagree with the
opinion. Do not forget to use the right expression as well as add a reason to support your opinion.

Question
1. What do you think about Korean Drama?
2. Do you think Korean Drama is better than
Sinetron Indonesia?
Answer
In my opinion, Korean dramas are fun to
watch, with various genres and stories that can
captivate audiences of all ages. the cast is also
handsome and beautiful. I am also a person
who likes Korean dramas
I think, Korean dramas are better than
Indonesian soap operas. the story is better
than Indonesian soap operas, also the

3. What do you think about an infamous
statement that women should not work?
4. Most people say that Internet gives only
positive impacts for education. How do you
feel about it?
5. Some people say that living in a city is
better than living in a village. What is your
opinion about it?
audience can get carried away with their
emotions
I do not agree with that statement. Women
are not required to work, but women may
work if they receive permission from their
guardian or husband (if married), and may
even help their husbands earn a living, as long
as they do not neglect their responsibilities as
housewives. women who help their husbands
work for a living, they are waging jihad.
I don't agree with most people. In my opinion,
besides the positive impact, of course there is
also a negative impact on education. it is
important to recognize that the Internet has a
complex impact on education.
I don't believe it. Living in a city has a lot of air
pollution and is also noisy with vehicles.
However, in a more peaceful rural
environment, there are lots of trees which
make the air clean and cool and the water in
the countryside more refreshing.
