In this activity, you need to say if you agree or disagree with the different situations.
Use the statements to express agreement and disagreement:
AGREEMENT | PARTIAL AGREEMENT | DISAGREEMENT |
I see your point…
I get what you mean… I understand where you’re coming from… That’s a good point… You took the words out of my mouth… That’s just what I was going to say… I couldn’t agree more |
Yes, but…
I partly agree, however,… That may be true, but… You might have a point… Though I understand your point,… It could be right, whereas… |
I don’t see what you mean
That can’t be right! No way! Are you serious? You must be joking! You must be mistaken. There is no way on earth… Are you pulling my leg? nonsense… |
Decide if you agree or disagree with the statement and discuss with a partner (4 minutes):
- People say that you should work to live and not live to work. What’s your belief?
- Everyone thinks that climate change needs to be dealt with. What do you think?
- It is thought that we need five pieces of fruit and vegetables each day. Do you agree?
- Money can’t buy you happiness. How far do you understand this point?
- Some people say that technology is reducing our attention span. What’s your view?
- It is said that the world is more corrupt than the past. What do you reckon?
- Everybody says that traveling opens your mind. Do you agree with the statement?
- Having children changes your life forever. Do you share this view?
