ASKING FOR &

GIVING OPINION
Example 1

Alex and Andi are talking about their plan to have a

holiday to Bali.

Alex: What do you think about going to Bali next holiday?

Andi: That’s a good idea. I’ve never been to Bali.
Alex: Do you think we should book the ticket from now or
just before we go?
Andi: I think we’d better book the ticket now. Many people
go to Bali in holiday. If we don’t book the ticket now,
we might not get any ticket later.
Alex: Yes, you’re right.
Example 2

Milly : Do you like your smartphone?

Brian : Yes. I think I got more than I expected.
Milly : Why?
Brian : I just want to buy a smartphone which has 1 gigabyte
of RAM. But this smartphone gives me more.
Milly : I think you’re lucky.
Brian : Yeah. I think with the price I’ve paid, got a smartphone
with 2 gigabytes of RAM is very awesome.
Milly : But what do you think about the camera? Is it good?
Brian : Not too bad. I got 8 megapixels for primary cameras, and
its secondary camera 5 megapixels. But it is not
the important point.
Milly : Why?
Brian : I do not like selfie. Haha.
