For this week's response, I'd like you to go back and look over your classmates' responses, choose a response that you disagree with (even if only a little!), and respond by writing your own opinion. To express your disagreement politely, you must use at least one of the following expressions:
- I see what you mean, but I think that......
- Perhaps that's true, but it may be that.....
- True, but I'm afraid I disagree (with).....
- There may be some truth in what you say, but it's possible that.....
- I agree with what you said about.....; however/on the other hand, I would have to say that.....
- I understand your point, but I see it a little differently.
- That may be the case, but I feel.....
Note: You may have to go back to older blog responses from the early weeks of the semester (weeks 3, 4, 5, etc.). Some of these question topics elicited a few responses that you can probably disagree with.
Good luck!
