        for your opinion
        
        for ideas, solutions to problems
        
        an explanation about why something happens.
    - - Listen for key words. You must always answer the question the examiner asks you. You will lose marks if you talk about the topic without answering the question. So you must listen carefully to the question and then begin your answer in an appropriate way.
      - Don't alway use I think .... It's good to learn some other phrases such as I feel ..., I believe ... , It seems to me that ...
    - - After making sure you have answered the question, you need to develop your answer further with reasons and examples.

        By way of example, maybe we would ...
        
        Giving reasons:
        
        The reason why I think that is ...
        
        One reason for this is that ...
        
        A good reason for X is that ...
      - try to think if real-life examples or relate the examples to your experience. But if you can't, consider inventing a fictional example to help you develop your answer. You might say, For example, I heard that ... or For instance, I read that ...
      - you do not have to give examples first, then reasons. Feel free to change the order if it will help your answer make more sense
