Expressing your opinion Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Today we practised expressing opinions in English by discussing different issues. First I gave you some phrases to use when you agree, disagree, when you ask questions or when you want to interrupt an ongoing conversation. Remember to always be polite in English, especially when you disagree.

We also studied the structure of an argumentative piece of writing on the movie Brokeback Mountain. An argumentative essay is usually structured like this:

  • Introduction
  • Background
  • Thesis (main idea/main point)
  • Argument 1
  • Argument 2
  • Argument 3
  • Conclusion

Here is a trailer for Brokeback Mountain.
