Please re-watch the following video from youtube to refresh your memory about the proper vocabulary to use when expressing an opinion. Follow the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Pgnbmx4i4.  Now, we are going to add in the reason why you think this way.  It is important to have a good reason based on logic and common sense when you are expressing an opinion in order to back up why you think a certain way. Then try calling a classmate on the phone or a relative who speaks French and using these different ways of expressing an opinion in a conversation, but this time add in the reason why you think this way!
