2016年12月英語四級作文： "I think"的替換句式
1. I reckon, 用於闡述自己的觀點，比 「I think I」更正式。
e.g. I reckon it will be much faster to get to London by train.
2. In my view,比 「in my opinion更正式，經常用於討論重要的事情。
e.g. In my view, they made a huge mistake in not selling the company when they had the chance.
3. It seems to me & All things considered，皆可用於仔細思考問題或局勢時。
e.g. (i) It seems to me that they are spending more money than they need to attract new talent into the company.
(ii) All things considered, I think we made a wise choice in recruiting James.
4. If you ask me，用於當你的觀點於對方十分重要時;
e.g. If you ask me, she has spoilt her children far too much.
不過有時人們會在沒被提問的情況下用到此句;
e.g. 「If you ask me,…..」 「But I didn’t ask you….!」
5. To be honest &To tell you the truth &To be frank，皆用於知道對方可能不喜歡你的觀點時。
e.g. (i) To tell you the truth, your father was right when he said that you undersold the company.
(ii) To be honest, I preferred it when you were blonde.
(iii) To be frank, I thought her acting was simply terrible.
6. Frankly speaking，更加直白的方式，用於熟悉的人。
e.g. (i) You would use this expression to give your opinion in a more familiar and forthright way.
(ii) Frankly speaking, I don’t know what she sees in him.
7. Personally，這用於強調自己在闡述個人觀點時。
e.g. (i) This is used to emphasize that you are giving your own opinion
(ii) Personally, I think the CEO should apologize for his appalling behavior at the shareholders』 meeting.
8. To my mind& As far as I’m concerned，皆可用於對方不同意你的觀點時。
e.g. (i) To my mind, private education is better than state education.
(ii) As far as I’m concerned, tennis is a much more interesting sport than football.
這樣以來，除了「I think」 和「in my opinion」，你仍有N種方式可以用於陳述觀點，何樂而不為呢?
