  • “Do you have any idea for … ?”
    • Example: “Do you have any idea for the next meeting?”

2) Informal / unofficial situations

    • Intended meaning: “My own view on this matter is …”

Examples (dialogues) and what they demonstrate

Example 1: Speech contest

  • One speaker asks: “What do you think … ?” → (asking opinion)
  • Another responds: “I think it’s good…” → (giving opinion)

This example is used to show practicing public speaking using opinion expressions.

Example 2: Student and teacher about a presentation

  • Student asks (asking opinion) with a pattern similar to:
    • “Give me your opinion on my presentation.”
  • Teacher replies (giving opinion) using:
    • “In my opinion, your presentation is good, but you have to keep practicing.”

The subtitle explicitly notes that:

  • the asking part uses an opinion-request sentence, and
  • the giving part uses “In my opinion …”
