Asking and Giving Opinion

Situation: new smartphone.

Milly: do you like your smartphone?

Brian: Yes. I think I got more than I expected.
Milly: why?
Brian: I just want to buy a smartphone which has 1 gigabyte of RAM. But this
smartphone gives me more.
Milly: I think you’re lucky.
Brian: Yeah. I think with the price I’ve paid, got a smartphone with 2 gigabytes of
RAM is very awesome.
Milly: but what do you think about the camera? Is it good?
Brian: not too bad. I got 8 megapixels for primary cameras, and its secondary
camera 5 megapixels. But it is not the important point.
Milly: why?
Brian: I do not like selfie. Haha.

Situation: full day school.

Emily: Hi Tom! What are you doing?

Tommy: I’m reading a newspaper.
Emily: any good news?
Tommy: I’ve just read about full day school.
Emily: so what your opinion about that?
Tommy: in my view, it is useful for Indonesian education development. Because if
school time is extended until 4 or 5 PM, students can learn more. So, Indonesia’s
educational ranking in the world can be increased.
Emily: Do you think like that? But how about the students? Don’t you think it is
too boring for them? In school all day.
Tommy: No, If the teacher can bring class situation more fun, giving them exciting
activities, so the student will enjoy their day in school.
Emily: I think you’re right.

Situation: choosing a dress in a department store.

Naima: I love these two dresses. But I have to choose one. What do you think?
Which one is suited to me?
Naomi: I think the dress which has peach color is suited to you.
Naima: really? But the blue one has a beautiful design.
Naomi: You’re right. But it seems too big to you isn’t it?
Naima: yea…
Naomi: I have an idea! Let’s find a dress which has peach color, but the design is
similar to the blue one?
Naima: yeah… That’s sounds good!

again.
__________Trevor: Eh… Yea…

competition.
