Expressing Your Opinion in English: Speak Your Mind with These Quick PhrasesBeing unable to express yourself clearly is a common fear among language learners.But don't worry!In this post, I'm going to teach you exactly how to overcome this fear with tips for expressing your opinion in English and common English phrases to use when doing so.Contents What Is an Opinion?An opinion is simply how you feel or think about a certain issue. It's usually a personal viewpoint based on your experiences.Being asked to express your opinion shouldn't be scary, because we express opinions all the time.Whenever we speak, we're likely either agreeing or disagreeing with someone, or telling them what we think about something.Don't believe me?Let's take a look at some of the things we say in our day-to-day conversations.I really hate the weather. It's too hot and humid.I like coffee more than tea, thanks.I didn't like the latest Star Wars film. What about you?What do these statements all have in common, apart from being in the first person (I, me, mine)?They're all personal opinions.When telling someone our opinions (especially when using formal English), there's a certain way we do it in order to sound polite.It's important to know how to clearly express your thoughts in an organized way so that no one misunderstands you (or gets offended).By the end of this post, you'll be able to confidently and politely express your opinions in English like a native speaker would.So let's get started, shall we? Tips for Expressing Your Opinion in EnglishBefore diving into common phrases, here are some tips that'll help you express your opinion in English as well as improve your speaking and writing skills.Keep a diary to talk about your feelings/opinions. Make it a point to write in your diary every day. You can write about what you did that day, your likes and dislikes or use specific prompts to give you ideas.Practice listening to other people's opinions through videos. By watching how other people express their opinions, you're able to learn different phrases and words to include in your own to better formulate your thoughts.There are different resources available to find videos like these. For example, the FluentU program has authentic English videos with interactive captions. Plus, after each video, you can take a quiz to review what you're learning.Watch an English movie and write about it. You can talk about what you liked and disliked about the movie in your diary!Pick a topic and try talking about it. You can practice expressing your opinion by choosing a topic, setting a timer and speaking about it in front of the mirror. Notice your tone and body language. You can also have discussions or "debates" with your friends. A debate is two or more people agreeing or disagreeing with a topic. You can also find online language partners on apps like HelloTalk or Tandem. Phrases for Expressing Your Opinion in EnglishAn opinion usually has three parts:An opening phrase or statement that clarifies that it's your opinion being expressed.One or more reasons that explain "why" you have that opinion.A conclusion that ends the discussion. It can also ask a question, as we'll see in other examples.Let's take talking about the weather, for example:I really hate summer weather (opening statement). It's hot and humid (reason #1). It makes me feel tired and unproductive (reason #2). I don't feel like working or doing anything much (reason #3). So I don't look forward to summer (conclusion). To express your opinion in English, you can always refer to this three-step guide. The conclusion is something we often skip while speaking, but it's important when we're writing our opinions in the form of an essay. Express Your Personal Opinion with These PhrasesNow let's focus on making our opening statements stronger and more clear.The listener should know right away that what you're telling them...Is an opinion.Is your opinion.Thankfully, in English, we have several phrases just for this purpose.Let's take a look at some examples:In my opinion, the government hasn't done a good job of handling the healthcare crisis.I think we need to study more to pass the test.I feel like we aren't doing enough to help her.I believe that we should depend less on technology.In my experience, men tend to be more immature than women of the same age.What I mean is that he isn't a good politician and we should vote for someone else.If you ask me, he's a fine actor and I enjoyed watching all the plays he was in. Express a General Opinion with These PhrasesSometimes, we share an opinion with someone else (or a group of people). In these cases, it's common to use third-person pronouns (it, they, everyone and more).If you want to talk about an opinion shared by others instead of a personal opinion, use the following phrases:It seems like the new policy did more harm than good.Everyone agrees that she was the worst principal in this school.Some think that the movie was brilliant while others find it dull.Many believe that aliens have already landed on Earth.Everybody knows that movie isn't going to do well. In today's world, it's widely accepted that the Earth isn't flat. Agree with Someone Using These PhrasesSometimes, two or more people have the same opinion. In such cases, this is how you express your agreement with them.That's a very valid point.I think what you said is true. Disagree with Someone Using These PhrasesThere may be situations when you disagree with someone on certain topics.That's when you have to politely express your disagreement while avoiding an argument or fight.You have to make the listener realize that while you heard and understood what they said, you don't agree and have a different opinion.That's a valid point, but...Let's agree to disagree, shall we?I understand, but I personally think/feel... Explain the Reasons for Your Opinion with These PhrasesIn several situations, such as in meetings and group discussions, we're asked to explain our opinions. There are many ways of doing this.We can simply state or list our reasons (firstly, secondly, thirdly) in a certain way.My reasons for quitting the job are being forced to work overtime, poor salary and racist colleagues.Firstly, horror movies are scary. Secondly, I don't believe in ghosts. Thirdly, I can't sleep after watching scary movies!We can also use conjunctions (such as because) or other connecting words and phrases to explain our thoughts in a logical manner.Moreover, I wasn't there when they broke up, so it's none of my business.In addition to not liking the taste of seafood, I'm also allergic to it.Most importantly, I think my father is a good man.Another example of Sheila's talent is her skill at origami (the Japanese art of paper-folding).I miss her for many reasons, but mostly because she was such a nice person to talk to. Conclude Your Opinion with These PhrasesFinally, you have to sum up your thoughts in the conclusion.You can repeat the opinion or even ask your listener to share their opinions on the matter, too.So, from these reasons, we can conclude that the new policy was a failure.To sum up, I think we need a proper investigation.In conclusion, she was a very nice person.This proves that water is wet.Can you suggest a way to improve this?And that's is why I prefer being a night owl.
