Useful Expressions for IELTS Speaking, Part TWO

by Ehsan Dehghan 1. March 2009 13:12

Well, here is the second list of phrases which can help you give a more natural tone to your speaking. The phrases below will help you express your agreement or disagreement on a particular topic. In the IELTS test, there are several occasions in which the examiner gives you an opinion and asks you about your idea. In such occasions, these phrases will help you.

Agreeing with an opinion

  • My view about this is positive.
  • I agree with this idea.
  • I completely agree with this idea.
  • I can't agree more.
  • I agree.
  • This idea is absolutely right.
  • I couldn't agree more on this.
  • I think this idea is perfect.

Partial agreement or polite disagreement

  • I agree partially with this idea.
  • This idea is partially right.
  • I see what you mean, but
  • That's one way of looking at it, but
  • I see your point, but
  • I agree with you, but
  • I think this idea is possible, but
  • I'm not sure you're right there.
  • I'm not sure that I agree with this idea.

Disagreeing with an opinion

  • I think it is a bad idea.
  • I'm afraid I can't agree with this idea.
  • I'm afraid I entirely disagree with you.
  • I think this idea is impossible.
  • I guess this idea is impractical.
  • I see that this idea is bad.
  • I think it is a bad idea.
  • I don't agree with this idea.
  • I suppose this idea cannot be implemented.

I hope you use all the phrases in your speaking. In the next thread, I will come up with some phrases to express certainty, probability, improbability, possibility, and prohibition.

See you soon and take care.
