Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,
2
where learning English is easy and fun.
3
I'm Emily.
4
Hello Emily.
5
Hi everyone.
6
It is so wonderful to be here with you today.
7
I am feeling very happy.
8
I am happy too, Paul.
9
You look very energetic today.
10
Did you have a good morning?
11
I did.
12
I had a very big breakfast.
13
Eggs, toast, and a very large orange juice.
14
It was delicious.
15
Oh, wow.
16
A big breakfast is the best way to start the day.
17
I only had a small yogurt and my coffee.
18
Well, your coffee is very important too.
19
I see it there.
20
It looks warm.
21
It is.
22
It is my favorite part of the morning.
23
But Paul, I'm excited because today we have a very special topic.
24
Oh, I love special topics.
25
What are we talking about today?
26
Today, we are going to learn how to express our opinion.
27
Ah, opinions.
28
That is very important.
29
We all have opinions, right?
30
Yes, exactly.
31
We have opinions about food,
32
movies, music, and even the weather.
33
That is true.
34
I have many opinions.
35
Sometimes I think I have too many opinions.
36
That's okay.
37
It is good to share what we think.
38
It helps us talk to people and make friends.
39
I agree.
40
But sometimes it is hard to find the right words in English.
41
I don't want to be rude,
42
and I want people to understand me.
43
You are right, Paul.
44
Many students feel nervous about this.
45
They think, how do I say what I think?
46
Or is this correct?
47
Yes, that is exactly how I feel sometimes.
48
So, I am ready to learn some easy ways to do this.
49
Great.
50
But wait, Paul.
51
Before we start our chat,
52
we should ask our friends for a small favor.
53
Oh, yes, you are right.
54

57
It helps us a lot.
58
And please subscribe to Mr. English Channel.
59
We want to see you here every week.
60
And don't forget to share this with your friends or family.
61
If they are learning English,
62
they can listen and learn with us too.
63
Thank you so much.
64
Okay, Ball, are you ready?
65
I am ready.
66
Let's talk about opinions.
67
Okay, so the first way to give an opinion is very, very simple.
68
We use two words, I think.
69
I think.
70
Hmm, I know those words.
71
Yes, it is the most common way to start.
72
For example, I think this coffee is great.
73
Ah, okay.
74
So I can say, I think the sun is very bright today.
75
Exactly.
76
Or, I think English is fun.
77
I definitely think English is fun.
78
That is an easy one.
79
It is.
80
Another word that is very similar is I feel.
81
I feel?
82
Like my emotions?
83
Yes, but we use it for opinions too.
84
For example, I feel that this movie is too long.
85
Oh, I see.
86
So, I think and I feel are like cousins.
87
They are very similar.
88
Yes, they are perfect for daily life.
89
You can use them with your friends or at work.
90
What if I want to sound a little more formal or different?
91
That is a good question.
92
You can use the phrase, in my opinion.
93
In my opinion?
94
That sounds very professional, Emily.
95
It does, but it is still easy to use.
96
In my opinion, the blue dress is better than the red dress.
97
Oh, I like that.
98
In my opinion, pizza is the best food in the world.
99
Well, that is a very strong opinion, Paul.
100
But it is a good sentence.
101
Thank you.
102
So we have I think,
103
I feel, and in my opinion.
104
Yes, and there is one more that is very friendly.
105
You can say, for me… For me?
106
Yes.
107
For me, summer is the best season.
108
It shows that this is your personal idea.
109
Ah, for me, tea is better than coffee.
110
Oh, Paul, how can you say that?
111
I'm sorry.
112
It is just an example.
113
I like your coffee too.
114
Okay, okay, I forgive you.
115
But see, you just expressed your opinion.
116
That was great.
117
Wow, it is not so difficult.
118
But Emily, what happens after I say my opinion?
119
I want to know what the other person thinks.
120
That is very important.
121
A conversation is two people talking,
122
so you must ask a question.
123
What question should I ask?
124
The easiest one is, what do you think?
125
What do you think?
126
Okay, I like that.
127
It is simple.
128
Yes, or you can ask, do you agree?
129
Do you agree?
130
Hmm, that is a good one too.
131
Let's practice, Paul.
132
I will give an opinion and then I will ask you.
133
Okay, I'm ready.
134
I think that cats are better than dogs.
135
What do you think?
136
Oh, hmm, I'm not sure.
137
For me, dogs are better because they are very friendly.
138
Do you agree?
139
I see.
140
I agree that dogs are friendly,
141
but I think cats are very cute and quiet.
142
That is true.
143
Cats are very quiet.
144
My dog is very loud.
145
See, we are having a real conversation about opinions.
146
Yes, and I used a new phrase.
147
I said, I'm not sure.
148
Yes, that was perfect, Paul.
149
I'm not sure is a very polite way to say you don't have the same opinion.
150
Is it rude to say no?
151
Sometimes just saying no can be a little strong.
152
It's better to say, I disagree,
153
or I don't think so.
154
I don't think so.
155
That sounds softer.
156
Yes.
157
Or you can say, maybe, but… Maybe, but...
158
Oh, I like that.
159
It shows I am listening.
160
Maybe, but I think the other restaurant is cheaper.
161
Exactly.
162
It is very polite.
163
It shows you respect the other person's idea,
164
even if you don't agree.
165
This is very helpful.
166
Sometimes I am afraid to say I don't agree because I don't want the other person to be sad or angry.
167
I understand.
168
But in English-speaking cultures, it is okay to have different opinions.
169
We just use polite words.
170
Polite words.
171
Like, in my opinion, or I see your point, but… Yes.
172
I see your point is a fantastic phrase.
173
It means, I understand what you are saying.
174
I see your point, Emily,
175
but I think green tea is very healthy.
176
You really love your tea today, Paul.
177
I do.
178
It gives me energy.
179
That's great.
180
Now, Paul, what if we agree with someone?
181
What can we say?
182
Hmm.
183
I usually just say yes.
184
Yes is okay, but we have better ways.
185
You can say, I agree with you.
186
I agree with you.
187
Okay.
188
Or you can say, exactly.
189
Oh, exactly.
190
I hear
191
that word a lot yes it means you agree 100 it
192
is a very positive word exactly see i used it perfect you can also say you're right you're right
193
that is a very nice thing to hear it is
194
when someone says you're right it makes me feel very happy me too So,
195
if you say, this podcast is very helpful for students,
196
I can say, you're right.
197
Ah, thank you, Paul.
198
And I agree with you, too.
199
This is fun.
200
We are learning how to agree and how to disagree.
201
Yes, but there is one more thing.
202
When we give an opinion,
203
it is very good to say, why.
204
Why?
205
You mean, give a reason?
206
Yes, we use the word because.
207
Because.
208
Okay, I think winter is beautiful because I love the snow.
209
Yes, that is a complete opinion.
210
Opinion plus because plus reason.
211
Okay, let me try another one.
212
In my opinion, learning English is important because it helps you travel.
213
Wow, Paul, that is a perfect sentence.
214
It is very clear.
215
Thank you.
216
It feels good to say more than just, I like English.
217
Yes.
218
Adding because makes your English sound much better.
219
It makes you sound more confident.
220
Confidence.
221
Like our other episode.
222
Exactly.
223
Confidence is key.
224
Emily, I have a question.
225
What if I don't have an opinion?
226
Sometimes people ask me, what do you think of this new song?
227
And I don't know the song.
228
That happens to me, too.
229
In that situation, you can say, I don't really know.
230
I don't really know.
231
Or, I don't have a strong opinion about that.
232
I don't have a strong opinion.
233
That is a long sentence,
234
but it is very useful.
235
It is.
236
It means you don't care very much or you don't have enough information.
237
That is very honest.
238
I like being honest.
239
Me too.
240
Honesty is important in conversation.
241
Okay, so we have many tools now.
242
I think, I feel, in my opinion,
243
for me, I agree, I disagree, and because.
244
Yes, you are doing a great job, Paul.
245
Should we practice with some more topics?
246
Yes, let's do it.
247
Hmm, what is a good topic?
248
Oh, movies.
249
Okay.
250
What is your opinion on action movies?
251
Hmm.
252
I think action movies are very exciting because they are fast.
253
What do you think, Emily?
254
For me, action movies are a bit loud.
255
I prefer romantic movies because they are sweet.
256
Do you agree?
257
Maybe.
258
But sometimes romantic movies are a little boring for me.
259
I see your point.
260
They can be slow, but that is okay.
261
We can like different things.
262
Exactly.
263
We are still friends.
264
Of course.
265
Okay, let's try another one.
266
What is your opinion on cooking at home?
267
Oh, in my opinion, cooking at home is better than eating at a restaurant because it's cheaper,
268
and I like to cook.
269
What about you?
270
I agree with you, Paul.
271
Cooking at home is healthy.
272
But I think eating at a restaurant is fun because you don't have to wash the dishes.
273
Oh, you are right.
274
Washing the dishes is the worst part.
275
It really is.
276
I don't like it at all.
277
Me neither.
278
So, for me, a restaurant is better on the weekends.
279
That is a good plan.
280
See?
281
We are using all the phrases.
282
It feels very natural.
283
It doesn't feel like a lesson.
284
It feels like a chat.
285
That is the goal.
286
Learning English should feel natural.
287
I agree.
288
Emily, do you have any more tips for our listeners?
289
Yes.
290
My advice is to start small.
291
Don't try to use very difficult words.
292
Use I think first.
293
I think is a great start.
294
Yes, and when you're comfortable, try In My Opinion.
295
And don't forget to smile.
296
Like we said in the confidence episode,
297
a smile makes your opinion sound friendly.
298
Yes, even if you disagree,
299
if you smile and say,
300
I'm not sure, it is very kind.
301
That is true.
302
A smile is very powerful.
303
It really is.
304
Paul, I think we have covered a lot today.
305
We have.
306
I feel much more confident about sharing my ideas now.
307
That makes me so happy,
308
and I hope our listeners feel the same way.
309
I hope so, too.
310
It is so much fun to talk about what we like and what we don't like.
311
Yes, it makes the world interesting.
312
Imagine if everyone had the same opinion.
313
That would be boring.
314
Oh, yes, very boring.
315
Everyone eating the same food and watching the same movies?
316
No thank you.
317
Definitely not.
318
Well, Paul, before we finish,
319
should we remember the main points from today?
320
Yes, let's think.
321
What did we talk about first?
322
Well, we started with the easy ways to say what we think,
323
like using I think or I feel.
324
That's right.
325
And I remember we can also use for me or in my opinion if we want to change it a bit.
326
Yes.
327
And then we talked about how to ask other people for their ideas using what do you think or do you agree?
328
Oh, and my favorite part was learning how to agree and disagree politely using words like exactly or I'm not sure.
329
Exactly.
330
And we also said it is very important to use the word because to give a reason for our opinion.
331
Yes, because makes the sentence complete.
332
And if we don't know,
333
we can just say, I'm not sure or I don't know.
334
Perfect, Paul.
335
You remembered everything.
336
You are a star.
337
Thank you, Emily.
338
You are a great teacher.
339
Oh, thank you.
340
But we are just friends talking.
341
That is the best way to learn.
342
It really is.
343
Well, I think our time is almost finished.
344
Yes, it is.
345
But before we go, we want to hear from you, our listeners.
346
Yes, we have a question for you to answer in the comments.
347
What is the question, Paul?
348
Hmm.
349
In your opinion, what is the best city in the world and why?
350
Oh, that is a fantastic question.
351
In my opinion, the best city is because… Yes!
352
Please write your answer in English.
353
We love to read your comments and your opinions.
354
Yes, we do.
355
It is so much fun to see where you are from and what you think.

I enjoyed our chat very much.

Об этой уроке
В этом уроке вы научитесь, как выражать свое мнение на английском языке. Это важный навык для общения, поскольку все мы имеем свое мнение о различных аспектах жизни, таких как еда, фильмы и музыка. Вы сможете легко выражать свои мысли, что поможет вам заводить новые знакомства и поддерживать разговоры с другими людьми. Наша цель — сделать процесс обучения интересным и увлекательным, поэтому мы будем использовать простые фразы и полезные выражения. Также вы сможете практиковать произношение с использованием техник shadowspeak и shadow speech.
Ключевая лексика и фразы
- Я думаю, что... (I think that...) - фраза для начала изложения своего мнения.
- Мне нравится... (I like...) - для выражения положительного мнения.
- Мне не нравится... (I don't like...) - для выражения отрицательного мнения.
- Это интересно, потому что... (It's interesting because...) - для объяснения своего мнения.
- Согласен с тобой (I agree with you) - чтобы выразить согласие с мнением другого.
- Иногда я чувствую, что... (Sometimes I feel that...) - для озвучивания более сложных чувства.
- Я люблю... потому что... (I love... because...) - для объяснения своих предпочтений.
Советы по практике
Чтобы эффективно изучить язык и выразить свое мнение, попробуйте метод shadowing. Этот метод подразумевает задание вашего голоса за голосом спикера в видео. Обратите внимание на скорость и тональность речи. В данном видео говорит два человека, поэтому вы можете культивировать не только личное мнение, но и акцентировать эмоциональные детали, повторяя их интонацию. Это поможет улучшить произношение английского и сделать вашу речь более естественной. Повторяйте за спикерами фразы с правильным произношением, используя уже знакомые вам выражения. Имейте в виду, что главное — это не только слушать, но и говорить. Начните с простых предложений и постепенно добавляйте больше слов и фраз, чтобы ваша речь стала разнообразной и интересной. Не бойтесь делать ошибки — это часть процесса обучения. Учите английский с YouTube, и вы увидите, как быстро сможете развить свои навыки общения!
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
