🗣 How to give your opinion in English

Before you answer, remember these useful phrases to express what you think:

I think that… In my opinion,… I believe that… Personally, I feel that… I'm not sure, but… From my point of view,…

✏️ Try to give a reason for your opinion too. Use because or since to explain.

Do you think our appearance is the most important thing about a person, or are our other senses (the way we speak, the scents we wear, our flavour of personality…) just as important? Write 4–6 sentences giving your opinion. Use at least two of the opinion phrases above.
