Marking Signals

Opinion marking signals- are the words and

phrases that we use to help us better express or
share our ideas. These are the following, in my
opinion, for me, I totally agree, etc.

Example: I prefer using facebook than twitter.

What word is the marking signal? Everybody answers the word

Answer: I prefer using facebook than twitter

Another example:

I believe that Ramon Magsaysay is the greatest I prefer

president of the country.

What word is the marking signal?

I believe that Ramon Magsaysay is the greatest

president of the country.

The common opinion marking signals are as

I believe
follows: personally, in my opinion, in my
experience, etc. However, other phrases work in
the same context as well. So, for example, when
you hear a statement and say ‘I beg to differ,’
then start expressing your opinion—that’s
considered an opinion marking signal.

The same goes if you say ‘The way I think,.’ and

go on to express your opinion. So, while the
concept of opinion marking signals is clear and
simple, they don’t have to be limited to common
words. Instead, you can use endless words to say
that you’re about to express your opinion.

Now who wants to give their example?

Yes Ms/Mr.___

Why Many Tourists Visit the Philippines?

tourists visit the Philippines.
