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 have more to do than to be talking about the lives of others. I don’t know the correct versions if there is any. In this case fit to mention that the universe could be measured but not human stupidity. Totally agree.
I believe that the students were wrong, was a big exaggeration, all this situation!
She doesn’t was dressed decently, but I think this don’t justified that happened.
P.S Sorry my poor English, I’m a beginner!
I think she had already planed everything.
However so she got what she wanted since begining.
I can’t stand this subject any longer in TV/ midia…Geisy is very happy now….she became famous….rsrs I don’t care!!!
Let’ s come to the point!!! It is Brazillllllllllll !!!!!rsrs
kisses,
I think Geisy Arruda just wanted to show what it has to offer, but the college crowd, wanting to give one of purritanos tried to humiliate the girl, so that the spell got played and now this Geisy the tip of the media.
Hello Adir,
I guess that episode was terrible can show us students with false moralism.
By the way, when you search a tv channel you see almost nude women in talking shows, dancing funk, samba…
Well to me, The people are free to wear anything.
What kind of people will conclud this course?
Remember that some professor participated harassing that pour girl.
Uniban was in check in lnaguage of chess.
Olá, faz algum tempo q venho acompanhando o english experts, esta sendo de grande ajuda para mim, principalmente o curso de inglês para tímidos todos os textos tenho salvado, no entanto seria muito bom se o áudio das aulas pudessem serem salvos tbm pois assim poderia rever o áudio sempre q tivéssemos duvidas sobre a pronuncia, além de treinar a audição.
Hi,
In my opinion, we can see in human history, the lack of tolerance and humans assuming the condition of the other judges.
I don’t approve of several behaviors, but that doesn’t give me the right to measure and condemn people. At some moment I’ll have behaviors that aren’t accept by anyone.
In short, intolerance continues to kill people who call themselves human.
Well guys as you can see that girl called Geisy Arruda was vulgar in the college and because that she deserves a punishment, but the college didn’t need to expell her.
Once we’re humans, everyone is suject to have a mistake.
I think that she was innocent,because I did read many reports about that incident,so that´s my opinion.
p.s.Sorry if my English is incorrect…
