Writing Clear Opinion Statements

Read each task carefully. An opinion shares a viewpoint that people may agree or disagree with. Use linking words to connect your ideas.

Spotting opinions

Decide whether each statement gives a checkable fact or a personal opinion.

1.Which sentence expresses an opinion?

A kiwi is a flightless bird.
I think walking is the best way to explore a new place.
A road trip can include several stops.
New Zealand has two main islands.

2.Select all the features that can help you recognise an opinion.

It shares what someone thinks or feels.
It can always be proved true with a measurement.
People could reasonably have different views about it.
It might begin with a phrase such as “I believe”.

Connecting your ideas

Choose linking words that make the meaning of each sentence clear.

3.Complete the statement: “I believe a rest stop is important on a long drive it gives everyone a chance to stretch.”

4.Complete the statement with a linking phrase: “Ari thinks audiobooks make a long journey more enjoyable. , they can keep passengers entertained.”

5.Match each opinion starter to what it mainly communicates.

I feel that…
In my view…
I am convinced…
I think…

A person's point of view
A thought or opinion
A personal feeling about an idea
A strongly held belief

7.Give one reason that supports your road-trip opinion.

8.Add a second reason or a specific detail that would help convince a reader.

9.Write two to four sentences about your chosen road-trip topic. Include an opinion starter, at least one reason, and a linking word such as “because”, “also” or “for instance”.

10.Check your paragraph: does it state a clear opinion, give a reason, and use a linking word? Write one specific change that would make your paragraph stronger.
