Don’t you think that...?I don’t think that’s right...
I don’t think so.You must be mistaken...
No, you are wrong thinking about...I’m afraid you’re wrong...?Aren’t you confusing...?I’m not so sure about that...Surely it must be...Yes, you are right, but...
I believe that you’ve got it right.Yes, I agree with you.
Sentence patterns:
SpeakingSample dialogues:Situation 1:A: I don’t think learning a language is so difficult. When you live in a country where you speak that language, you can hear it and practise it every day.B: well, that would certainly be helpful, but not everybody can go abroad. Besides, it should be possible to learn a language well before going to another country.C: I agree with A.B: I think it depends on yourself. Of course you have to spend enough time on learning.D: Do you think it’s a matter of time?B: Yes. You are right. Time is the most important. The more time you take to practise, the better you’ll be.A: That depends on you. It’s hard to tell, but for easy languages such as English you can learn a lot in only a few hundred hours.
D: Some people spend a whole lifetime without really learning much.
C: Very funny! It sounds nice, but some languages are too difficult.
Take Chinese, for example, how many hours does it take to learn
that?
B: Yes. That’s a good example. Chinese takes perhaps four or five
times more time to learn than English or Spanish.
D: You mean for somebody whose language isn’t English or Chinese?
B: Exactly.
C: I disagree. I think you are wrong thinking that it will take anyone a
short time to learn English, but a long time to learn Chinese. Both
English and Chinese are very different. That’s why it takes
Englishmen a long time to learn Chinese. But then it should work the
other way around as well. Because they are so different, it will take
Chinese people four times more time to learn English than for
example somebody who speaks Spanish.

Situation 2:
A: Of course it is easy to learn geography by reading a book and
studying a map. You just look at the map and remember where
places are. It’s as simple as that.
B: I’m not so sure about that. I haven’t really thought about it
before, but I think the only geography I know very well is that of
China. Of other countries I have some idea where places are,
but it feels different from the way I know it for China.
A: Surely it must be possible to learn it from maps. How else can
you teach geography?
C: Well. It sounds as if both of you are right, in a way. I agree that
what you can learn from a map is not exactly the same as when
you go somewhere.
A: Oh here’s another. Don’t you think you can study a map and then
find your way through the mountains? There, you see.
D: Yes, you are right, but you wouldn’t really know where the
mountains are, how high they are and how broad. Isn’t that what
you are think of?
B: Yes, you are right.
C: Of course it should be like that. After all, maps are only
representations of the country. They are a bit like a model.
D: I believe you’ve got it right. Maps are not the real thing. You
cannot learn everything from books. You have to experience
things to make it real and meaningful.
