The first thing we want to answer is what is
00:21 - 00:21
on opinion.
00:21 - 00:25
Paragraph on opinion paragraph shows what the writer feels about
00:26 - 00:28

00:29 - 00:32
and it uses reasons and details to explain the opinion.
00:33 - 00:35
Please keep in mind your goal throughout.
00:35 - 00:38
The entire opinion paragraph is to make sure that you're
00:39 - 00:40

00:41 - 00:43
How do you draw the reader's attention?
00:44 - 00:47
There are four tips that we will be giving you
00:47 - 00:48
on how to draw the reader's attention.
00:49 - 00:50
Tip number one.
00:50 - 00:52
Write a good hook to catch people's attention.
00:54 - 00:57
You must have a clear position regarding your talk.
00:58 - 01:02
Make sure that you provide good reasons and examples and
01:03 - 01:05
close your paragraph with a good computing sense.
01:05 - 01:09
It's in order to explain the process of writing an
01:10 - 01:10
opinion paragraph.
01:11 - 01:14
I'm going to break it down and supports on opinion.
01:14 - 01:17
Paragraph is made up of a hook a topic sentence.
01:19 - 01:19
Three reasons.
01:20 - 01:23
Examples each reason and they concluding sense.
01:24 - 01:26
It's Let's figure with the hook.
01:28 - 01:29
A hook is a piece of writing at the beginning
01:30 - 01:32
of your paragraph that engages your reading audience.
01:33 - 01:35
This hook can be in the form of a question
01:36 - 01:37
on affirmation or negation.
01:38 - 01:43
Statement. Here are some examples How many times have you
01:43 - 01:43
won the lottery?
01:44 - 01:46
Do you know someone twice hit the jackpot?
01:48 - 01:51
These questions should be at the beginning of the opinion
01:51 - 01:54
Paragraph on are aimed at capturing the reader's attention.
01:56 - 01:58
It makes the reader want to answer the question and
01:58 - 02:03
thus engages the reader in the piece of writing online.
02:04 - 02:07
College classes are cheaper and more effective than in person.
02:07 - 02:12
College classes notice the position that is being taken and
02:12 - 02:16
the comparison that is being made this to in service
02:16 - 02:17
a hook.
02:18 - 02:21
A business flog is like a magnet that pulls clients
02:21 - 02:21
to a company.
02:23 - 02:27
This imagery conservatism, hookahs well, to draw the reader's attention.
02:29 - 02:31
Please keep in mind that every sentence that you write
02:32 - 02:34
in your opinion paragraph should begin with a capital letter
02:36 - 02:39
and should end with the period we have taken.
02:39 - 02:41
A look at the hook now Let's go to the
02:41 - 02:44
topic sentence in the topic sentence.
02:45 - 02:49
You want to express your opinion, your position towards a
02:49 - 02:50
situation or topic.
02:51 - 02:53
A topic sentence is made up of two things.
02:54 - 02:56
The 1st 1 is your opinion.
02:57 - 03:00
The 2nd 1 is the main idea that your opinion
03:00 - 03:01
paragraph will be talking about.
03:03 - 03:05
There are different ways that we can express our opinion.
03:06 - 03:09
You can use the following expressions toe help you begin
03:10 - 03:12
your topic sentence and expressing your opinion.
03:13 - 03:17
I totally agree that I disagree that I don't agree.
03:18 - 03:19
I am four.
03:19 - 03:20
I am against.
03:21 - 03:22
I am definitely in favour off.
03:23 - 03:28
I highly think I strongly believe that these are a
03:28 - 03:31
few expressions that you could use to express your opinion.
03:32 - 03:33
There are many more that you can use.
03:34 - 03:38
Your goal is take a clear position on where your
03:39 - 03:42
senses regarding the topic that you are discussed.
03:44 - 03:46
Now let's take a look at how the hook and
03:46 - 03:47
the topic sentence can be unified.
03:49 - 03:51
How many times have you won the lottery?
03:52 - 03:53
Do you know someone who has hit the jackpot?
03:54 - 03:57
I strongly agree that lotteries should be prohibited.
03:59 - 04:01
You may notice that this opinion paragraph takes a strong
04:02 - 04:05
negative position about the use of lotteries.
04:08 - 04:11
After you have provided a clear opinion for your paragraph,
04:12 - 04:14
you will continue with the three reasons to support your
04:14 - 04:18
ideas. It is necessary to start every reason with a
04:18 - 04:22
capital letter and to end each sentence with a period.
04:23 - 04:25
Let's see the most important tips for your reasons.
04:29 - 04:31
What do I have to take into consideration when writing
04:31 - 04:31
the reasons?
04:33 - 04:35
You should think of three reasons to defend or disagree
04:36 - 04:36
with your hook.
04:37 - 04:40
When you write the connectors, please be sure to use
04:40 - 04:40
a comma.
04:42 - 04:46
Here are some connectors that you can use for reason
04:46 - 04:47
number one first.
04:48 - 04:52
Firstly, first of all, to begin with first and foremost
04:54 - 04:59
for a reason Number two and this Secondly, moreover, furthermore,
05:00 - 05:06
on the other hand, also for reason Number 3/3 Thirdly,
05:07 - 05:13
finally, last but not least, lastly, using the same main
05:13 - 05:17
idea about the lottery, let's take a look how we
05:17 - 05:19
can use the different reasons within our paragraph.
05:21 - 05:23
To begin with, lotteries are a waste of money.
05:25 - 05:26
Every time we buy the latter, we have less money
05:27 - 05:28
to buy things we need.
05:30 - 05:30
Let's take a look.
05:30 - 05:31
A second reason example.
05:32 - 05:35
Another reason is that playing the lottery is addictive.
05:36 - 05:38
When we buy a lottery ticket and we don't win,
05:38 - 05:43
we behmai we made by more and more tickets for
05:43 - 05:45
the third reason we can express it like this.
05:46 - 05:49
Finally, I consider the playing the lottery is not a
05:49 - 05:52
really good chance to make money because we can't use
05:52 - 05:54
our abilities or skills to win the lottery.
05:57 - 06:00
As you can see in the examples, my three reasons
06:00 - 06:01
are against the latter.
06:02 - 06:05
It means my arguments disagree with them presentation of a
06:05 - 06:09
lottery because my personal opinion was so prohibit the lottery.
06:11 - 06:15
Another crucial part of an opinion paragraph are your examples.
06:17 - 06:20
When you write examples, each example should illustrate or show
06:21 - 06:24
in detail why or how the reasons that you previously
06:25 - 06:26
provided are valid.
06:27 - 06:29
Examples should attempt to show a picture.
06:30 - 06:33
The more concrete, for example, is the better.
06:35 - 06:37
Let's take a look at these examples again.
06:39 - 06:41
To begin with, lotteries are a waste of money.
06:42 - 06:43
That was my first Reese.
06:44 - 06:45
Here is my example.
06:46 - 06:49
Every time we buy the ladder, we have less money
06:49 - 06:51
to buy things we need, such as food.
06:52 - 06:56
This example defends My first reason on provides a concrete
06:57 - 07:01
image off why I believe lotteries are waste of money.
07:02 - 07:03
Let's take a look in my secondaries.
07:04 - 07:07
Another reason is that playing the lottery is addictive.
07:08 - 07:11
When we buy a lottery ticket and we don't win,
07:11 - 07:13
we may by MAWR and more tickets.
07:15 - 07:16
This example.
07:17 - 07:19
When we buy a lottery ticket and we don't win,
07:20 - 07:22
we made by more and more tickets shows a concrete
07:23 - 07:27
addiction, which is the reason that I provided for my
07:27 - 07:30
second reason, Let's look at the last trees.
07:31 - 07:34
Finally, I consider the playing the lottery is not a
07:34 - 07:38
really good chance to make money because we can't use
07:38 - 07:43
our abilities or skills to win the lottery notice after
07:44 - 07:47
because I am expressing why I believe that the lottery
07:48 - 07:50
is not a really good chance to make money.
07:51 - 07:55
Each of these examples illustrated in further detail the reason
07:56 - 07:57
that I had used before.
07:59 - 08:02
Once you have provided a hook, a topic sentence three
08:03 - 08:06
reasons and each with their examples, you will want to
08:06 - 08:07
give your concluding sense.
08:08 - 08:10
It's what is a concluding sentence.
08:11 - 08:13
It is where you retake your main idea with different
08:14 - 08:17
words. You remind the reader why you wrote on believe
08:17 - 08:20
in your position and you invite the reader to take
08:20 - 08:21
action on your side.
08:22 - 08:25
Here are some connectors that we can use when leading
08:25 - 08:31
into our concluding sentence to sum up and brief, in
08:31 - 08:34
short, to conclude in conclusion.
08:35 - 08:37
Now let's take a look at an example of a
08:37 - 08:40
concluding sentence to conclude.
08:40 - 08:42
I believe that it is not a good idea to
08:42 - 08:44
buy the ladder because it is a waste of money.
08:45 - 08:47
It is addicted and it is not really a good
08:48 - 08:51
chance to make money because almost no one ever wins.
08:52 - 08:56
Noticed that in this concluding sentence, I transitioned in with
08:56 - 08:58
a connector to conclude I stayed.
08:59 - 09:01
In my opinion, I believe that it is not a
09:01 - 09:02
good idea.
09:02 - 09:04
I reiterated the main idea.
09:06 - 09:10
Lotteries are a waste of money are addictive and they're
09:10 - 09:11
not a good chance to make money.
09:16 - 09:18
Your opinion is important at the end of the paragraph
09:19 - 09:22
to reinforce what you mentioned in the arguments and to
09:22 - 09:28
close your opinion paragraph Well, students, I have finished the
09:28 - 09:29
structure of the opinion paragraph.
09:30 - 09:32
Now I want to invite you to observe the complete
09:33 - 09:35
paragraph Ondas as an example for you.
09:36 - 09:38
Keep in mind this is the way you have to
09:38 - 09:42
write your opinion paragraph when your teacher asked for it.
09:43 - 09:46
Here is all of the parts of the opinion paragraph
09:47 - 09:48
in a one cohesive paragraph.
09:50 - 09:50
Take a few minutes.
09:51 - 09:52
Look at this example.
09:53 - 09:56
And if you need to watch this video again, I
09:56 - 09:57
