Writing About Feelings and Opinions

What are we learning today?

You will learn how to write about your feelings and opinions with a reason.

Explanation

• To write about a feeling, add a reason with "because" or "so".
• To write an opinion, use "I think ... because ..." or "I don't think ... because ...".
• You can use these phrases: "Absolutely!", "I disagree." and "I suppose you're right."
• Make notes first. Then write the text.
• In an email, finish politely: "Many thanks again for ...", "Best wishes".

Examples

1. I really enjoy visiting new cities, so I'm very excited.
2. I feel nervous about flying because I have never been on a plane.
3. Children shouldn't start school until they're six. I disagree because they like to learn.

Remember!

• Always add a reason to a feeling.
• Use more words than "good" and "bad".
