Give your opinion clearlyعبّر عن رأيك بوضوح

The idea, simply

Open your opinion with a phrase that shows it is a view, not a fact: I think, In my opinion, I believe, From my point of view. In my opinion is followed by a comma and a full sentence; do not say In my opinion I think, which repeats the idea. Add a reason with because to make it convincing. To ask for a view, say What do you think about …?

Examples

• In my opinion, online courses save a lot of time.

• I think this plan is better because it is cheaper.

• What do you think about working from home?
