ENGAGING QUESTION:
Have you ever had to

easy or hard? Why?
LESSON 1

AGREEING OR
DISAGREEING
WITH THE IDEAS
OF THE SPEAKER
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING
COMPETENCY (MELC): AGREE OR
DISAGREE WITH THE IDEAS OF THE
SPEAKER.
• use correct expression that shows agree and
disagree
• show politeness in giving your stand in an
issue; and
• show sensitivity to others.
AGREE
Do you ever feel unsure of how to show that you
agree with what someone is saying? After all, it’s
not always enough (or appropriate) to simply say
“yes”. There are many occasions where you need
to show how strongly you agree with someone or
explain why.
In English, there are many different words and phrases that
you can use to agree with an affirmative statement.
For example, if you want to show that you share the same
opinion in a simple way, you could say:

I agree. Sure. Absolutely! Definitely. Me too.


Of course. I also think that. I feel that way too. So,
do I.
These are very simple phrases, but you can also use slightly
more sophisticated terms to show that you strongly agree
with someone.
For example:
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I couldn’t agree with
you more.
You’ve hit the nail on the head there. I think you’re totally
right about that.
Of course, sometimes you want to politely show that you
respect someone’s opinion, but you don’t 100% agree.
Perhaps you want to show them that you don’t want to
argue with them, but your opinion is slightly different, or you
want them to explain their point of view a little bit more.
In these situations, you could say something like:
I don’t doubt you’re right… You know more about
this than me…
I understand what you’re saying… I see what you mean…
I could be wrong about this… I don’t disagree…
Then you would follow this with one of the following “but”
statements (or something similar):
but what about… but I would have
thought that… but don’t you think… but in my
experience…
but it seems to me… but it could be that…
but maybe… but it isn't… but I still
think…
So, for example, you might say:
I don’t doubt you’re right, but what if we changed the
schedule around? Could that work?
WHY AGREEMENT IS
IMPORTANT IN DAILY LFE?
• Helps in teamwork and cooperation
• Avoids conflicts and
misunderstandings
• Essential in business, law, and digita
interactions
DISAGREE
Acknowledge the other person’s idea before you
disagree. Make sure you make it clear that you
understand what the other person is saying and that it
is a valid argument before you disagree. This shows
you are listening to the other person and makes your
argument stronger. To do this, you can use phrases
such as:
“I see what you’re saying but…”
“I understand where you’re coming from, but…”
Here are some more expressions to disagree:
I’m afraid… That might be true, but…
I beg to differ. I don’t think you’re right.
I think otherwise. I don’t share your view.
I’m sorry but… I take a different view.
You may be right, but… I´m not sure I agree with
you.
ANY QUESTIONS?
SEATWORK NO.1 : Directions: Read the conversation
and focus on the idea of each speaker. Copy the
sentences on a separate sheet of paper. Box the
statement that shows agreement and underline the
expressions that show disagreement.
Carla: In my opinion, the good school is the one that
makes a balance between discipline and fun.
Jean: I completely agree with you, Carla. Too much
focus on discipline can make a school like a prison, and
excessive focus on fun makes it a park rather than a
school. So, balance is better.
Migs: I’m sorry to say this, but I totally disagree with
you. What is the point of fun in school? To my mind,
the good school is the one where you don’t have to
study such useless subjects such as a foreign
language.
Jean: I don’t agree with you, Migs. I think foreign
languages are very important nowadays.
Carla: You are right Jean. There is no good school
that doesn’t teach foreign languages today.
