Welcome back to another episode and welcome back to my first played audio in a WHILE! The last time I did this, it was in season 1. So, with that being said, we’re going to be talking about famous cities and discussing whether or not they are good vacation destinations.

Agreeing and Disagreeing
When discussing ideas in seminars, normally you have to use formal language. Here are some phrases in terms of agreeing.
Formal: I agree. I like that idea. You have a point.
Informal: That’s what I think. That’s a great idea.
The key to disagreeing is to be polite. You can do this by using a nice tone or adding words to make your statements sound better.
I disagree.
I’m sorry, but I disagree.
That’s not always true (not one of my favorites and can produce an argument).
I don’t think that’s always true.
I’m not sure about that.
