       Precisely                     Reasonably                                    Obviously

                                In addition            Furthermore

                         Moreover                           One more point


                                             “Example”

                              For instance           A prime example

                                       To clarify this point


                                           “Conclusion”

                               All in all               To be exact

        To sum up            To summarize  Overall             On the whole         In brief


                                              “Likes”

                                      I’ve always liked/loved

                                        I’m really keen on

                                     It would make sense to me

                                        My main interest is

                          It’s amazing/ incredible/ fabulous/ fascinating


                                            “Dislikes”

                                  I don’t like/ enjoy/ very much

                                      I find … sort of boring

                                       It’s tedious/ boring


                                           “Neutrality”

                                   It makes no difference to me

                                    I don’t care/ I don’t mind

                                      It’s all the same to me


                                           “Preference”

                           I’d prefer not to            I tend to prefer

                                       I’m more attracted to

                                        My choice would be


                                          “Clarification”

                         In fact               In short            I mean

                                  That means         To be exact

                            To be more precise    Let’s put it this way


                                            “Opinions”

            In my experience     I’d like to point out      To the best of my knowledge

                                 I firmly believe     I tend to think


                                         “Total Agreement”

         I agree entirely       I feel the same way       That’s just what I was thinking


                                        “Partial Agreement”

                       I agree to some extent        That’s quite right, but


                                          “Disagreement”

                               I’m completely against this because….

                            I’m afraid I don’t go along with this idea

                                        I tend to disagree
