Hello everyone, my name is Emma, and in today's lesson we are going to look at ways to give your opinion.
大家好，我是Emma，在今天的课上我们要来看看如何表达观点。
So this video is very useful for anyone who will be writing the IELTS exam, the TOEFL exam,
这个视频对所有要参加雅思考试、托福考试的人
as well as anyone who wants to become a better speaker or a better writer.
以及想要把英语讲得或写得更好的人来说，这个视频非常有用。
Okay? So in this video we will first look at some common expressions we use to give our opinion,
在这个视频里，我们会先来看看用来表达观点的一些常见的短语，
and we will look at ways to strengthen these expressions to make them stronger
然后讲讲强化这些短语的方法，让它们更强烈，
and to show that we feel very strongly or not so strong about something.
显示出我们对某件事强烈赞同或没有那么强烈赞同。
Okay, so let's begin, so I have here the most common way to give your opinion: "I think..."
好了，我们开始吧，这里有一个表达观点最常见的方式："I think..."
So why do I have an "x" here?
那我为什么在这里画了个X呢？
Well the problem is students overuse "I think..." "I think this, I think that, I think this, I think that", it gets very boring.
问题是学生们会过度使用"I think..."，无论什么都是用"I think..."来表达，这非常单调。
And so if you're doing the TOEFL or the IELTS,
如果你们在参加托福或雅思考试，
the problem with using "I think..." is you're going to get a lower mark because that's considered basic English usage.
使用"I think..."会带来的问题是，你们得到的分数会低一些，因为这被认为是很基础的英语用法。
So in order to get a higher mark or if you're just interested in becoming a better speaker or writer,
所以为了得到更高的分数，或者你们只是想把英语说得或写得更好，
I've listed some expressions that will really help aid you in expressing your opinion.
我已经列出了一些能够真正帮助你们表达观点的短语。
So let's look at some other expressions you can use, and these all pretty much mean "I think..."
我们来看看你们能用的一些其他短语吧，这些基本上和"I think..."都是一个意思。
So the first expression: "As far as I'm concerned," okay?
第一个短语是"As far as I'm concerned,"。
"As far as I'm concerned,...", okay, one question you often get on IELTS, on TOEFL is:
"As far as I'm concerned,..."要怎么用呢，雅思或托福考试中经常会出现的一道题是：
"Should boys and girls go to the same school or should they go to different schools?"
"Should boys and girls go to the same school or should they go to different schools?"（男生和女生应该去同一所学校读书，还是应该去不同的学校？）
What I could say or I could write: "As far as I'm concerned, boys and girls should go to separate schools."
我可以说或者可以写："As far as I'm concerned, boys and girls should go to separate schools."（就我认为，男生和女生应该去不同的学校。）
