Different Ways To Disagree In English


source: Learn English with Let's Talk    2015年6月30日
I beg to differ
This is used when someone states an opinion that you obviously disagree with
Example: We can’t live without smart phones.
Answer: I beg to differ. 10 years ago, we had regular phones are we were doing just fine!

I’m not so sure about that
This is used when you are disagreeing with someone on a topic related to politics, economics, religion or science
Example: Human beings are a product of evolution. We have evolved from apes.
Answer: I’m not so sure about that. Evolution is only a theory. It is not based on scientific fact.

Not necessarily
This is used when the statement you are disagreeing to doesn’t present the entire picture
Example: If people at home just turn their taps off when not in use, the problem of water shortage will be resolved
Answer: Not necessarily-what about water used for agriculture and various other business ventures in huge amounts. You haven’t considered that.

I don’t see it that way
This is used when you see things from a different perspective
Example: Corporal punishment should be banned
Answer: I don’t see it that way. Children should be disciplined..otherwise they will never learn to obey.

I’m afraid I disagree
When you want to politely disagree with a simple fact
Example : If we eat right, we will be able to loose weight
Answer: I’m afraid I disagree, losing weight isn’t that as simple as that

Yes………..but
Used when you want to disagree because you’re not convinced even though someone is persuading you to do something
Example: You should order from McDonald’s rather than eating out! It’ll save your money
Answer: Yes..but junk food isn’t healthy. That is no value for money in the long run because it will ruin your health

Well or actually
This is used when you are disagreeing indirectly
Example 01: :Studying grammar is the key to gaining fluency in English
Answer: Well, listening, speaking , reading are also other aspects that ned to be taken care of to be fluent in English
Example 02: John was the best football player in our school in 2007
Answer: Actually, I think Adrian was better

No way OR you can’t be serious
Used when you want to disagree informally, say when you’re with friends or people close to you
Example 01: Gladiator was Russell Crowe’s best movie
Answer: No way! Have you watched Beautiful Mind? He was incredible in it!
Example 02: I’m going to buy a new bike!
Answer: You can’t be serious! You have 3 credit cards to pay off! How are you gonna afford it?

Basic English – How and when to use LOOK, SEE, and WATCH


source: Learn English with Gill    2016年3月4日
The words 'look', 'see', and 'watch' all seem to mean the same thing, so how do you decide which one to use? Today you'll learn how to use these words correctly! Native English speakers know when to use these words. But it can be difficult for English learners to understand the difference. For example, you can WATCH English lessons on engVid, LOOK for the quiz under each video, and SEE your score once you've completed it. I'll teach you the basic principle of when to use each one of these words and show you many examples, so that you can be sure that you are using them correctly. You'll also sharpen your comprehension skills by practicing looking at the context of sentences -- one of the keys to learning new vocabulary. Think you've mastered it?

This business English lesson is about being diplomatic and polite when as a boss or manager you are feeling very angry ! Yes , its difficult to be polite when you are really angry. Imagine you are thinking of voicing your thoughts to an employee , subordinate or co-worker and you are about to be very frank about what you feel; now its advisable to not do so because you might end up hurting their feelings or coming across as too harsh or worse still … you may sound rude . As a boss its your duty to express your opinion without sounding too personal or judgmental . The list of words below are useful as they can be used to convey your frank thoughts politely .

Unacceptable – meaning inappropriate or intolerable . This word can be used if someone at work is behaving badly .Instead of saying “ This is terrible/bad behavior !” … you can say, “This is unacceptable behavior.”

Impolite – meaning rude .When someone is being outright rude… you can let them know the same by calling their behavior “impolite” instead of rude . It sounds softer and more formal .

Expendable – meaning someone who can be easily replaced. When as a boss/manager you are really angry or annoyed …you cant possibly tell the employee , “If you continue like this ..

Making Appointments:
Making an appointment can take you awhile if both the parties have a busy schedule , therefore requesting for an appointment and suggesting the day and time is favorable.

1. Can we arrange for a meeting?
2. If possible, I would like to come by and see you.
3. How about about Monday?
4. Is next Tuesday convenient for you?
5. Would Thursday suit you?

1. That sounds good/ great.
2. Tuesday would be perfect.
3. That's fine

Declining and Suggesting
If the suggested time is not convenient for you, it is important to decline and suggest an alternative time.
1. I'm afraid I have got another meeting.
2. Tuesday seems to be a little difficult.
3. I would prefer to meet on Friday. IS that okay?

Cancelling and Changing
If you can't make it for the meeting because something else has come, it is important to cancel or change the time of the meeting.

How to start a conversation with a stranger?

Blog : http://www.learnex.in/how-to-start-a-...
Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/letstalkpodcast

1. Monitor body language: You may want to start conversing with an unknown person, be it a co-passenger while you’re travelling, a new classmate, someone who is at the bus stop or anyone whom you wish to speak to. So, first observe what they are doing, whether they are preoccupied with something else. Don’t just barge in to start a conversation. A good time to start is when the person is browsing their mobile phone. They would be more free and relaxed at that time.

2. Collect Information: Collect the information from the person before speaking. This has to be done subtly. See what the person is doing, what he is reading or what game he is playing. This gives you an idea of what interests the person. So the moment you start a conversation, you know what to talk about.

3. Self-confidence: After monitoring their body language and collecting some information, it’s time to get up the courage. Don’t have cold feet or start fumbling. Keep yourself positive by believing I can do it’. Just go up wit confidence and say ‘hi’ to the person.

4. Ask open ended questions: Close ended questions give you answers only in a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. But open ended questions give more scope for continuing a conversation as it the answers are elaborative. They keep the conversation rolling and interesting.

5. Leave them wanting more: After starting a conversation, don’t be in a hurry to end it. Go slow, relax. Make it fun and interesting that it leaves the person wanting for more the next time they meet you. So, have a positive and a good approach when you are going to start a conversation.

In English grammar the modal verb “can” and its opposite “cannot or can’t” is explained as a verb that we use to describe ability.Can’t (or cannot) is also used with some verbs to create idiomatic
expressions and are widely used by native English speakers. In this English lesson Ceema teaches you 10 expressions with Can't.

Can't be bothered - If you can’t be bothered to do something, it means you have no time or interest to do it. It is not important enough for your attention.

Can't tell - The expression can’t tell means “can’t perceive/observe.” We often use it in the phrases:
Can’t tell the difference between (two similar things)
can’t tell if/whether (something is the case or not)

Can't carry a tune - Someone who can’t carry a tune has no musical ability; they can’t sing a simple melody correctly.

Can't wait - The expression can’t wait means you are very eager and excited for something to happen in the future.

Can't get enough - If you can’t get enough of something, it means you want more and more of it.

Can't stand - If you can’t stand something, it means it really annoys or irritates you; you strongly dislike it.

Can't bear - If you can’t bear something, it means it makes you extremely sad; it is difficult for you to endure.

Can't help - I can’t help it means that you are unable to stop or prevent yourself from doing something or feeling a certain way. You can also say I can’t help + verb in the -ING form: “I can’t help feeling guilty, even though it wasn’t my fault.”

Can't beat - The expression You can’t beat that! means the situation is the best; it can’t be any better.

Can't thank you enough - The phrase I can’t thank you enough expresses very deep, sincere
gratitude. It is usually used when you are thanking the person for something they did that was very significant or very meaningful to you.

1. When pigs fly: This idiom is used when you want to say ‘something will never happen’.

2. Cats got your tongue: This idiom is used for someone who is oddly suspicious and keeps silent. If somebody is silent and does not answer your question, it means cats got his tongue.

3. Bob’s your uncle: This idiom means that everything is alright or there you go. It is commonly used in Britain. So if you want to say ‘there you go’ or ‘finally your project is ready’ you can use the idiom ‘Bob is your uncle’.

4. Van Gogh: Now, Van Gogh was a deaf artist. So if someone uses this idiom for you, do not get happy. They are actually being very sarcastic. SO, if someone tells you, “You’ve got Van Gogh’s ear for music”, do not take it as a compliment. They mean that you have a poor taste for music.

5. Pardon my French: When you use swear words and make an apology, this idiom is an informal way of doing so. So you can always follow a swear word by saying ‘Please pardon my French.”

I changed my mind: Simplest way to say that in the past you had one decision or opinion but later on you changed it.
Eg: We decided to watch a movie, but then I changed my mind. We went for lunch instead.

I had a change of heart: Change of feelings, attitudes and behavior (to be positive)
Eg: The judge fined him for 1000 gbp, but then had a change of heart since he was a first time offender. So he let the accused get away with much less.

Hang on a minute: Used when asking the other person to wait, while u are still debating a decision and you need more time to think
Eg: you’re not sure if you should pick up your new phone at the store or just have someone deliver it to your house. You need more time to think at the time of ordering your new handset.

On second thought: Introduce your final decision which you believe is better than the one you last made
Eg: I will speak with the HR manager about the issue, on second thought I think I will make a formal complaint in writing.

On reflection/upon reflection: When you have given ample thought to a decision or choice before changing it
Eg : Upon reflection, I decided that our plans to have a vacation this year can wait. We need to save money instead.

After further consideration: More formal way to say that you have given ample thought to a decision or choice before changing it

I did a 180: Change of decision or feelings in the total opposite direction.
Eg : I had decided to stop speaking with my parents, but when I understood that they only wanted the best for me, I did a 180. I started visiting them more often, I just had a more positive approach toward them.
