What is It

In this lesson, you will learn how to express opinions using opinion-marking signals.

Opinions refer to personal beliefs. They tell about how someone feels, thinks, or takes a
stand about something. They are influenced by a person’s experiences, background
knowledge, emotions, and preferences. Others may agree or disagree with opinions, but
they may not prove or disprove them.

The group of words that introduces opinions are called opinion-marking signals. They are
used as signal words that will help express and identify opinions. They are usually written in
the beginning part of a sentence.

Below are examples of opinion-marking signals.

Maybe… Perhaps… Probably…


I think… I believe… I feel…
I hope… I should… I love…
I hate… The best… It seems…
My favorite… For me… In my opinion…
In my experience… From my point of view… It is my belief…
I am convinced that… I am confident that… I am certain that…
From what I know… I must admit that… I take the view that…
I might be wrong, but… If I am not mistaken… I cannot deny that…

The following sentences express opinions using the opinion-marking signals.


a. I feel happy about being a Filipino.
b. It seems that Filipinos have strong family ties.
c. From what I know, Filipinos are known to be hospitable.
d. Personally, I think that Filipinos give importance to education.
e. Maybe Filipinos are resilient because they find ways to survive.
f. In my experience, Filipino families go to church and pray together.
g. I hope Filipino children will continue to respect their elders by saying
“po” and “opo”.
h. It is the belief of the Filipinos that when you respect others, they will
respect you as well.
i.
In the given sentences, how are the opinion-marking signals used?

Sentence A uses the opinion marking signal I feel. It tells about a personal feeling
of being a Filipino.

6
In sentence B, the opinion-marking signal used is It seems. This phrase gives an
idea that the opinion is expressed in a less assertive or forceful way.

The opinion-marking signal used in sentence C is From what I know. This


statement shows that the speaker is expressing an opinion based on his
background knowledge.
I think is the opinion-marking signal used in sentence D. This phrase emphasizes the
standpoint of a person. The sentence is stated based on one’s personal nature.

Sentence E uses the opinion-marking signal Maybe to express a mere possibility.

In sentence F, the opinion-marking signal used is In my experience. The speaker


expresses an opinion that is based on a real and first-hand experience.

the expectation and desires of the speaker.

It is the belief (of the Filipinos) is the opinion-marking signal used in sentence H.
The sentence expresses a practice that Filipinos accept as true or real.

Take note of the different opinion-marking signals used in the given sentences. These signal
words or phrases are used in different manners and for different purposes. However, there
are certain opinion-marking signals that can be used in the same manner and for the same
purpose, like maybe and probably, based on my experience and in my experience, and I am
certain that and I am sure that.

This time, let us try to share thoughts about the given pictures below.

Why Many Tourists Visit the Philippines?


by Fanny Andrea B. Naranjo

The Philippines is one of the most visited countries in the world. There
are many good reasons why many tourists visit the Philippines.

Firstly, I believe that the Philippines is known to have hospitable people.


Filipinos are very welcoming and accommodating. I am certain that these Filipino
characteristics are very attractive to many foreigners.

In my experience, Filipinos are always ready to help other people in need.


They are generous. They always share with others, even if sometimes they only
have little. It is their belief that sharing is loving.

Also, many tourists think that the Philippines has the most beautiful islands and
beaches. It has Palawan, Bohol, Siargao, Leyte, and Boracay, to name a few. They
take the view that Philippine islands and beaches are breath-taking and there are a
lot of sea adventures to experience. They have delicious local foods. Also, the
Philippines has a unique culture. I cannot deny that I agree with all these thoughts.

In conclusion, I am convinced that many foreigners love the Philippines. That


is why, they continue to visit the country. Others even choose to stay.
