ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES
OPINIONS
You have listed some opinions. Opinions are your own views of certain issues
or concerns. There are words that you can use when expressing your opinion.
Here are some phrases that you can use:

■ I Think....
● From my point of view I believe…
● From my perspective I feel…
● In my view In my opinion…
● It seems to me that I would say…

These are examples of ways to express your opinion:


● I think technology is harmful.
● In my view, technology is not useful and helpful.
● In my opinion, technology is very important nowadays.
You
may also just state your opinions without using those
phrases. You can just say, Technology is harmful but only
when you are in an informal situation. If you are in a formal
setting, it would be appropriate to use those phrases.
You
are entitled to your
own opinions but these
opinions must be
based on facts so that
you will not be biased.
It is very
important that you will not be focused only on giving
opinions. You must also look for information that will help
support your opinion because
more will believe you if what you express is
this will add to the credibility
strongly supported with information that are
and validity of your opinion
true and correct
A very important expository discourse that you must learn how to write is the
reaction paper, review, or critique. It is mainly written to communicate a fair
assessment of situations, people, events, literary and artistic works and
performances. Whether a social commentary, or a critical judgment, it conveys
incisive insights into its analysis of events, its interpretation of the meaning or
importance of a work or artifact, or its appreciation of the moral or aesthetic
values reflected in the work or performance.
It may include the main purpose of the event; the
devices and strategies employed; an evaluation of
its success or failure; and an assessment of its
significance and relevance, timeliness or
timelessness.
