 Conversation #1 – Asking for and Giving Opinions 

Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases
There are a number of ways to ask for someone’s opinion. Most of them involve the words think/thoughts, feel, opinion, or views:

•  “What do you think of/about...?”  “Bạn nghĩ gì về/về…?
•  “How do you feel about...?”  "Bạn cảm thấy thế nào về...?"
•  “What are your thoughts/views on...?”  “Suy nghĩ/quan điểm của bạn về...?”
•  “Where do you stand on...?”  “Bạn đứng ở đâu trên…?”

                       This phrase is usually used for controversial issues

•  “What’s your opinion about...?”  “Ý kiến ​​của bạn về...?”

Here are some basic ways to express your opinion:

•  “I think...” / “I believe...” / “I’d say...” (that)  “Tôi nghĩ là…” / “Tôi tin là…” / “Tôi muốn nói là…” (điều đó)

                        In spoken English, the word “that” is optional, and most people don’t use it:

                             Ex) I think that we should invest more in education.

                            I think we should invest more in education.

•  “It seems to me that...”  "Theo tôi thì..."  “Đối với tôi, dường như…” "Theo tôi thì..."

                        This is a gentle way to express an impression. You can use it to say something that you are not 100% confident about, and which could be open for debate:

                         Ex) “It seems to me that more and more people are unhappy with their jobs these days.”

•  “In my opinion...” / “In my experience...”  “Theo ý kiến ​​của tôi…” / “Theo kinh nghiệm của tôi…”

                        “Opinion” means you are expressing your thoughts/beliefs; “experience” means that you have real present or past experience with the topic or situation

•  “To be honest...”  "Một cách trung thực..."

                        This expression is often followed by a criticism or negative opinion:
                        Ex) “To be honest, this article isn’t very good.”

•  “If you ask me...”  "Nếu bạn hỏi tôi..."

                       This phrase is often used to express your opinion when NO ONE has specifically asked you about it!

Sometimes, you want to put special emphasis on the fact that this opinion is YOURS, and that you recognize that other people might not share your opinion – or might disagree. To do this, you can begin your statement with one of these phrases:

•  “Personally, I think...”  "Cá nhân tôi nghĩ..."
•  “Some people may disagree, but I think...”  “Một số người có thể không đồng ý, nhưng tôi nghĩ…”
•  “From my point of view...”  "Theo quan điểm của tôi..."
•  “The way I see it...”  "Theo cách tôi nhìn nhận..."
•  “As far as I'm concerned...”  “Theo như tôi được biết thì…”
•  “Speaking for myself...”  “Tự mình nói…”

In the conversation, the interviewer asks Laura for some additional details about her opinions. He uses some of these phrases:

•  “What do you mean?”  "Ý bạn là gì?"
•  “Could you clarify?”  "Bạn có thể làm rõ?"
•  “Could you elaborate on that?”  "Bạn có thể giải thích về điều đó?"
•  “Could you give an example?”  “Anh có thể cho một ví dụ không?”

Another conversational technique to clarify information is repeating or re-stating what the other person has said. Here are some expressions for confirming the other person’s ideas:

•  “You mean...”  "Ý bạn là..."
•  “So what you're saying is that...”  “Vậy điều anh đang nói là…”
•  “If I understand you correctly, you're saying that...”  "Nếu tôi hiểu bạn một cách chính xác, bạn đang nói rằng ..."

All of these can be said as either questions or statements. For example:

•  “So what you’re saying is that we should get rid of standardized tests?”  “Vì vậy, những gì bạn đang nói là chúng ta nên loại bỏ các bài kiểm tra tiêu chuẩn hóa?”
•  “So what you’re saying is that we should get rid of standardized tests.”  “Vì vậy, những gì bạn đang nói là chúng ta nên loại bỏ các bài kiểm tra tiêu chuẩn hóa.”

Notice the difference in the way they are pronounced. We typically use the statement form when we are confident that our re-statement is correct, and use the question form when we have a little bit of doubt that we have understood the other person’s thoughts correctly – or when we are somewhat surprised by their idea.

To respond to this re-statement, if the person has accurately repeated your idea, you can simply say “Yes,” “Right,” or “Exactly.” But if you want to make a correction, you can say:

•  “No, that’s not what I meant. / No, that’s not what I’m saying.”  “Không, ý tôi không phải thế. / Không, đó không phải là điều tôi đang nói.”
•  “No, not exactly. What I mean is... / What I’m trying to say is...”  “Không, không chính xác. Ý tôi là... / Điều tôi đang cố nói là..."

 Conversation #2 – Asking for and Giving Advice 

Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases

Here are a few phrases for asking someone for advice:

•  “What should I do?”
•  “What would you do if you were me?”
•  “What do you suggest/recommend?”

To reply, there are three different ways to give advice – by using questions, by making statements, and by giving commands. Using questions is the most indirect way; it is good for giving advice on sensitive topics, when advising a person who you don’t know very well, or when suggesting possibilities to someone who has not directly asked for your advice.

How to give advice using questions:

•  “Have you tried...?”   “Bạn đã thử…?”
             I can’t find time to exercise. What should I do?

                      Have you tried going to the gym before work?

•  “Have you considered...? / Have you thought about...?”   "Bạn đã cân nhắc chưa...? / Bạn đã nghĩ về...?”

                     I always get nervous when giving presentations
                     Have you considered taking a class in public speaking?

•  “How about...?”   "Bạn nghĩ thế nào về...?"
           I live by myself, and it sometimes gets very lonely.
          How about getting a dog?
•  “Why don’t you...?”   “Tại sao bạn không…?”

                  I’m exhausted. I’ve been working way too much.

                Why don’t you take a vacation?

If you want to be a little more direct, you can give advice using statements:

•  “I suggest...” / “I recommend...”   “Tôi đề nghị…” / “Tôi đề nghị…”

                “I’m going to visit Boston. What should I do there?”
                “I suggest taking a tour of the historical center of the city.”
               “Thanks. Do you know of any good hotels?”
               “I recommend the Hilton on Cambridge Street – it’s nice, but very affordable.”

•  “If I were you, I’d...” / “If I were in your shoes/position, I’d...”   “Nếu tôi là bạn, tôi sẽ…” / “Nếu tôi ở vị trí/vị trí của bạn, tôi sẽ…”

             Use these phrases to describe what you would do if you were in that situation:
            “Oh no! My final exam is on the same day as a job interview! What should I do?”
            “If I were you, I’d ask the teacher if I could take the exam a day earlier.”

•  “You should...” / “I think you should...”   “Bạn nên…” / “Tôi nghĩ bạn nên…”

   Ex) “My sister’s been mad at me for weeks. She won’t answer my phone calls.”
 “I think you should write her a letter.”

•  “You’d better...”  “Bạn nên…”

              This phrase is the most forceful and direct in this category.
             Ex) “I have a terrible toothache.”
           “You’d better see the dentist before it gets any worse.”

You can also give advice using imperatives/commands. These are “stronger” and they are typically only used with people who you know well, or when you want to be extremely direct – like if the person doesn’t want to listen to the more indirect forms of advice. Here are some examples:

•  “Try to save more money.”  “Cố gắng tiết kiệm nhiều tiền hơn.”
•  “Stop eating fast food.”  “Đừng ăn đồ ăn nhanh nữa.”
•  “Start going to bed earlier.”  “Bắt đầu đi ngủ sớm hơn.”
•  “Make sure you...”  “Hãy chắc chắn rằng bạn...”

               Ex) Make sure you bring money for a taxi, because there are no buses after midnight.

•  “Whatever you do, don’t...”   “Dù bạn làm gì, đừng…”

             Use this phrase when ONE piece of advice is especially essential:
            Ex) Whatever you do, don’t eat the seeds of this fruit – they’re poisonous.
