1. Introduction (5 minutes):
   - Start with a brief discussion on the importance of effective communication skills in daily life and academic settings. Emphasize the value of expressing opinions thoughtfully and constructively.

2. Vocabulary Building (10 minutes):
   - Introduce key vocabulary related to expressing opinions and constructing arguments:
     - 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]?

   - Practice with examples and model how to structure arguments effectively.

5. Role-play and Discussion :

   - Encourage respectful dialogue and provide feedback on clarity, coherence, and persuasiveness.

6. Wrap-up and Reflection (5 minutes):
