In my opinion 不是錯——只是太簡單。Band 7 的 Lexical Resource 要求 uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision。連續寫 In my opinion... I think... I believe... 三段都用 = 詞彙範圍不足。

為什麼要升級

這個片語有兩個小問題：

  1. 重複率高——一篇 250 字寫 3 次就膩
  2. 強度單一——所有觀點都用同一個強度詞，讀者分不清你「強烈主張」還是「比較傾向」

Band 7+ 的考生會用強度差異來表達細微立場。

五種替代片語（依強度排）

| 強度 | 片語 | 使用場景 | |------|------|---------| | 強 | I firmly believe that... / I am convinced that... | 個人立場明確、想下結論 | | 中強 | I would argue that... / I maintain that... | 學術中性、中段論證 | | 中 | In my view, ... / From my perspective, ... | 取代 In my opinion 直接置換 | | 中弱 | It seems to me that... / I would suggest that... | 推論型語氣、結尾總結 | | 弱 | Arguably, ... / On balance, ... | 留有餘地、強調平衡 |

❌ Bad / ✅ Better 對照

| ❌ 重複 / 弱 | ✅ 升級 | |------------|--------| | In my opinion, schools should ban phones. | I firmly believe schools should ban phones, given the documented impact on attention. | | I think technology has improved life. I think it has also caused problems. | I would argue that technology has improved life — but at costs we are only now beginning to count. | | I believe public transport is better. I believe cars are bad. | In my view, public transport deserves greater investment; arguably, private cars deserve less. | | In my opinion, both sides have advantages. | On balance, both sides have merit, although the case for ___ is stronger. |

強度搭配「論證強度」

如果你的論點是邊緣案例 / 部分情況成立，用弱片語比較誠實：

Arguably, remote work suits some industries better than others. ✓

如果你的論點是核心信念，用強片語：

I am convinced that early literacy investment delivers the highest social returns. ✓

把弱論點配強片語 = 過度承諾 = examiner 不買單。

一篇 Task 2 的「強度地圖」

理想配置：

| 段落 | 表態強度 | |------|---------| | Intro 結尾 (thesis) | 中強：I would argue that... | | Body 1 (主論點) | 強：I firmly believe... | | Body 2 (次論點 / 讓步) | 弱：Arguably, ... / It could be argued that... | | Conclusion | 中強：On balance, I maintain that... |

四段四個不同片語——Lexical Resource 直接 Band 7。

Quick Rewrite Drill

下面段落連續用 In my opinion / I think——把每句換成不同片語：

  1. In my opinion, online education is effective.
  2. I think it suits motivated students.
  3. In my opinion, it is cheaper than traditional schools.
  4. I think the social aspect is missing.
  5. In my opinion, a hybrid model is best.
  6. I think this view will become standard.

Answer Key（注意每句強度不同）

| # | ✅ 重寫 | |---|--------| | 1 | I would argue that online education can be highly effective. (中強) | | 2 | Arguably, it suits self-directed learners more than reluctant ones. (弱) | | 3 | From my perspective, its cost advantage over traditional schools is real. (中) | | 4 | It seems to me that what suffers most is the social dimension of learning. (中弱) | | 5 | I am convinced that a hybrid model captures the strengths of both. (強) | | 6 | On balance, this view will probably become the default within a decade. (中弱) |

一句總結

強度多樣 = 詞彙多樣。寫完通篇用 Ctrl+F 搜「I think / In my opinion」——每出現一次都換成不同片語。
