Meaning
Khi sử dụng "In my opinion", bạn đang cho người khác biết rằng những gì bạn sắp nói là suy nghĩ hoặc quan điểm chủ quan của bạn, chứ không phải là một thực tế khách quan hoặc sự thật tuyệt đối. Ví dụ, bạn có thể nói: “In my opinion, món ăn này rất ngon” để diễn đạt rằng bạn thấy món ăn ngon, nhưng người khác có thể có ý kiến khác.
Cụm từ này thường xuất hiện khi bạn tham gia vào các cuộc thảo luận hoặc tranh luận, giúp làm rõ rằng bạn đang chia sẻ suy nghĩ cá nhân. Nó cũng có thể được sử dụng để mở đầu cho một phần ý kiến trong bài viết hoặc bài luận, nhằm giúp người đọc hiểu rằng đoạn văn đó chứa đựng quan điểm cá nhân của bạn.
Khi học tiếng Anh, việc sử dụng "In my opinion" không chỉ giúp bạn bày tỏ quan điểm mà còn làm cho câu nói của bạn trở nên lịch sự và có tổ chức hơn. Điều này đặc biệt quan trọng trong các tình huống giao tiếp chính thức hoặc học thuật.
