Hello Everyone!!

With me again, Nyimas

This week is chapter 2 part 1 which is about opinion

Definition

An opinion is a judgement, viewpoint, or statement that is not conclusive, rather than facts, which are true statements.

Opinions can be divided into three categories:

Weak

I don’t think...
I’m fairly certain that....
I’m quite certain that....
I would have thought that....

Medium

I believe....
I don’t doubt that....
I feel certain that...
My impression is that....
As I see it...
It seems to me that...
It strikes me that...

Strong
I’m absolutely certain that....
I’m convinced that....
I strongly believe that...

Example of a dialogue about OPINION that I made

Nyimas: Hey fia, have you ever read this novel?

Fia: Hi, I haven't but I have plans to read it. What do you think about the novel?

Nyimas: This novel is very good, I really like it. The author's style of describing each story is very interesting and easy to understand. And the storyline is amazing and makes me curious to read until the end.

Fia: Oh, really. I can't wait to read it. I'll buy it later.

Nyimas: Yes, try reading it. This novel is worth reading. So after you finish reading we can discuss the contents of the story. It must be really fun.

Fia: Alright, I agree. Thank you for telling me about the novel.

Nyimas: Of course, you're welcome.
