In this part of the module, you will do a self-reflection and express your own opinion about the questions based on the pictures below. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 6  Study how the expressions I believe that and In my own opinion are used in the sentences below. Q: Is the COVID 19 trial vaccine safe?

What is It This part of the module will teach you opinion-marking signals that you can use in sharing or expressing your ideas to certain issues. Every time people engage in interaction or conversation, the interactions are always laden with opinions. Opinion is how you feel or think about something. Whether it be positive or negative, there are appropriate expressions that can be used to introduce one’s opinion or stand on the topics at hand. Opinion-marking signals are usually found at the beginning of a WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 7 sentence and is used to signal personal point of view (Loydnice Educ TV 2020). There are different examples of opinion-marking signals that can be used in expressing opinions. Listed in the tables are phrases that you can use. Expressions or Signals to introduce Opinions In my opinion From my point of view I believe that… It seems to me that It is my belief that I question whether There is no doubt that I (dis) agree with I maintain that in my mind I think that/ As far as I know As far as I am concerned Personally, I think that I feel I suppose I guess From my perspective From my point of view/ I hold the view that….

(Then provide reasons and evidence to support your opinion) Research study says that excessive screen time leads to developmental delays. 2. I agree with the “no face shield, no entry policy” of establishments.

Expressions or Signals to Conclude Opinions 1. For the reasons above 4. In other words 2. As I have noted 5. As a whole 3. As you can see 6. It goes without saying that Examples: 1. “As you can see, millions worth of agricultural products were damaged during the typhoon”. (The opinion- marking signal “as you can see” is used to conclude his/her opinion that because of the typhoon millions and billion worth of agricultural products were loss.} WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 8  2. “In other words, on-line learning is not effective in the Philippines”. (The opinion-marking signal “in other words” is used to conclude that because of the poor internet connection in the Philippines, on-line learning is not effective.) Other opinion-marking signals are the following: To express general point of view Examples Reasons/Evidences Some/Many people say that… “Many people say that he is He had made our It is generally accepted that a bad leader”. relationship worse and Generally, it is thought that…. not better. It is considered that…. Now, you will see these opinion-marking signals used in a paragraph. Below is a persuasive paragraph that uses these signals to express opinions. I believe that COVID 19 has demonstrated the interconnected nature of our world – and that no one is safe until everyone is safe. In my opinion, only by acting in solidarity can communities save lives and overcome the devastating socio-economic impacts of the virus. On the whole, people around the world are showing acts of humanity, inspiring hope for a better future. Self-Check: After studying the different examples of opinion-marking signals, do a self-reflection by answering the following questions: 1. Have you learned how to use the different examples of opinion-marking signals? 2. In what way can opinion-marking signals help you in expressing your ideas about a certain issue? What’s More This time, practice what you have learned about opinion-marking signals. But before that, try to remember the difference between fact and opinion. A fact is a statement that can be proven true or false while an opinion is an expression of a person's feelings that cannot be proven. WBLS-OBE MELC-Aligned Self-Learning Module English 8 9  Directions: Read this passage about seahorses and find the fact and opinion signal words. Signal Words, Facts, and Opinions Seahorses are the best animals in the world. They are in the genus (group of species) Hippocampus, which means “horse sea monster” in Ancient Greek. There are 47 species of seahorses. Only four species live in the Pacific Ocean next to North and South America. The dwarf seahorse lives in the Bahamas. Three kinds live in the Mediterranean Sea: the long- snouted seahorse, the short-snouted seahorse, and the sea pony. Even though they are slow, I think seahorses are amazing animals to watch. According to 2009 Guinness World Records, the dwarf seahorse is the slowest-moving fish, with a top speed of about 5 feet (150 cm) per hour. Seahorses range in size from a half inch to 14 inches. Seahorses should be protected from humans who want to capture them. It is bad when humans take them out of their habitat and try to sell them. I believe that seahorses are the most magical creatures in the ocean.
