Curso de Inglês para Tímidos: Lição 21
Hello, there! We have Five lessons to go and I’d like you guys to comment on very current topics, in English, of course!
We all heard about Geisy Arruda being harrassed at college because she was wearing a skimpy outfit. As it turned out, she was expelled and asked to come back after a lot of hype. What I’d like to hear from you guys is, Who was wrong in the situation?
Could you think of some ways this situation could have been handled?
Here are some expressions you can use to express your opinion (taken from the book Functions of American English, Cambridge):
I think that …
I believe that …
I truly believe that …
If you ask me …
You know what I think? I think that …
The point is …
Wouldn’t you say that … ?
Don’t you agree that …?
I’d just like to say that I think that …
I’d like to point out that …
To agree you can use the following expressions:
Exactly.
I couldn’t agree more.
That’s just what I was thinking.
You know, that’s exactly what I think.
That’s a good point.
To disagree:
Yes, that’s quite true, but …
I’m not sure if I agree …
Well, you have a point there, but …
Maybe, but don’t you think that …
So, what do YOU think?
Aguardo as respostas em inglês nos comentários. Good Luck!

I think the Geisy Arruda should not have worn those clothes for college, is not educational, but also i dont think she should have been expelled.
I think this situation went really bad to College that Geyse Arruda studied. But both were wrong because this situation.

I think that students were simply ridiculous, probably they weren’t there to study.
I think that she was very audacious.
The point is, you are in the school for what? To study, or show your body? Nowadays the students wear what they want, there are no more uniforms. The college is wrong to expelled her because they allowed that to happened.
On the oder hand she knew that kind of clothes was not apropriate to wear in the college. In my opinion some women are increasingly vulgar.
By the way, if each person took care of his own life, nothing would have happened!
hmmm, lets go.. I think that the guys was wrong when they harras her, they must get some kind of punishment because what they did is a “crime”. Then, don’t matter what she did, it was her clothes and her figure.. thats it
bye
Hello,
I believe that both are wrong because there are several ways to resolve the incident without you arrive at the extremes.
I believe that Uniban made a serious mistake. The point is that there was not a proper reason for Geisy’s expulsion from the university.
I truly believe that students who harrassed Geisy were wrong. Their behaviour towards her was aggressive, irresponsible and disrespectful.
It seems that the only thing that can be done is Geisy looks for another university to study.
