     - Opinion verbs: I believe, I think, It seems to me
     - Adjectives for intensity: Absolutely, strongly, moderately
     - Transition words for connecting ideas: Furthermore, moreover, consequently
   - Discuss how using varied vocabulary enhances clarity and persuasiveness.

3. Expressing Opinions (15 minutes):
   - Guide students through expressing their opinions on a familiar topic or current issue. Encourage them to use the vocabulary introduced in Step 2.
   - Example prompts:
     - What is your opinion on [controversial topic]?

5. Role-play and Discussion :
