- Listen for language of opinions, e.g. In my view..., I believe..., I think..., I disagree that..., I can't stand..., I'm keen on...
- Listen for reactions to help understand opinions, e.g. You're absolutely right! You're wrong! How awful! That's fantastic! etc. They are often said with a high voice.
