In the IELTS speaking section, expressing opinions articulately is a key aspect, particularly in Part 3, where in-depth discussions on various topics occur. Here are some examples of how you can infuse your opinions with the dynamism using phrasal verbs and idioms:

 

Expressing an Opinion:

"I'm really drawn to the idea of sustainable living; it aligns with my values."

"I lean towards the perspective that technology can bring about positive change if used responsibly."

 

 

Describing Someone:

"She takes after her grandmother; they share the same passion for art."

"John brings about a sense of calm; his presence is reassuring in stressful situations."

 

 

Describing a Place:

"The small town does without the hustle and bustle of city life, creating a peaceful environment."

"The vibrant market brings about a lively atmosphere, with locals engaging in lively conversations."

 

 

Indicating Uncertainty:

"I'm a bit on the fence about the new policy; it seems promising, but potential challenges need careful consideration."

"We can do without unnecessary complications; let's keep the plan simple for now."
