4. It builds Integrity
Standing up for your beliefs may not be easy, but when you do, you know you
will be able to look yourself in the mirror and feel about yourself.
When you wanted to make the statement stronger, you can do it by adding an
adverb or adjective. For example:
• I really think…
• I strongly believe…
• I truly feel… or
• In my honest opinion…
Example: In my honest opinion, Bangkok has the best street food for
everything I’ve tried has been so delicious!
Let’s look at a few phrases that are more common in formal situations, which
are usually found at a business meeting, conference, or in a formal paper.
• From my point of view…
• From my perspective…
• In my view… or
• It seems to me that…
Example: In my view, cruise ships should be banned. They produce
massive amounts of waste and use the dirtiest fuel in the world.
Imagine that you have expressed yourself, but what about the opinion of
others? It is a good idea to ask other people for theirs. Phrases like these help you
show desire to hear from others :
• What do you think of…?
• What are your thoughts on…?
• How do you feel about…?
• What’s your opinion on…?
Example: How do you feel about the new English teacher?
