The following are the example of mental verbs which refer to opinion.

Asking and Giving Opinion ialah suatu ungkapan yang digunakan untuk menanyakan,

Dalam Opinion, biasanya terdapat beberapa kata kerja yang digunakan antara lain believe (percaya),

atau don’t agree (tidak setuju).

A. Mental Verbs refer to cognitive (that deals with logic) state in which actions are mostly
abstract. Mental verbs provide meanings which are connected to our sensory capabilities,
deciding, understanding and planning. Opinions can be expressed using mental verbs.
 Mental Verbs adalah kata kerja yang merujuk pada kemampuan berfikir yang aksinya secara
umum abstrak. Mental verbs memiliki makna yang berhubungan dengan kemampuan perasa,
kemampuan menentukan sesuatu, pemahaman, dan perencanaan. Contoh sederhananya seperti
ini; "makan" adalah verb yang secara jelas terlihat aksinya

Contoh sederhananya seperti ini; "makan" adalah verb yang secara jelas terlihat aksinya. Begitu pula
"berenang", "tidur", "belajar", dan lain - lain. Kata kerja ini aksinya terlihat, lantas tidak dikategorikan
sebagai mental verbs.

Sementara "berfikir", "percaya", "ragu", "memutuskan", dan "merasa" adalah beberapa contoh verb
yang aksinya tidak terlihat atau abstrak. Yang sepertinya inilah yang dimaksudkan dalam Mental Verbs

Berikut adalah contoh kata mental verbs

- Believe                      - Remember
- Think                         - Forget
- Assume                     - Taste
- Doubt                        - Hear
- Feel                           - Smell
- Like                           - See
- Love                          - Look
- Hate                          - Learn
- Realize                      - Want
- Undertsand                - Decide

The following are the example of mental verbs which refer to opinion.

1. I believe our country will be a great nation.

2. I Think we have responsibilities to prevent bullying in our society.

3. I doubt the Road construction in our village will finish this week.

4. I assume tourism in our country will increase next year.

5. I feel rice prices will remain stable during this year.

B. A collocation is a combination two or more words that often go together. These combinations
just sound "right" to native English speakers, who use them all the time. On the other hand, other
combinations may be unnatural and just sound "wrong".

Dalam Bahasa Inggris, collocation merupakan gabungan antara dua kata atau lebih yang
membentuk suatu istilah.
Sebenarnya, tidak ada aturan khusus tentang collocation, hanya ada yang terdengar natural bagi
pembicara native Bahasa Inggris, ada yang tidak. Maka dari itu, kita hanya bisa menghafalnya
yaa.

Collocation digunakan agar percakapan atau sebuah tulisan tidak terdengar kaku dan justru
natural.

Listen and repeat. ( Naskah )

Practice the following dialog with friends.

Yuda : the traffic is heavy every morning. Look! Drivers and motorcyclists drive their vehicles
very fast. We should be careful.
Bayu : you are absolutely right. I guess they are in hurry to their offices or schools.

Yuda : I know, but they shouldn’t do that because it may endanger other road users and
themselves. They should leave for their offices or schools earlier. Do you think so?

Bayu : yes, I do. I feel poor when I see motorcyclists not wear safety helmets and ignore traffic
lights. They don’t realize how dangerous it is.

Yuda : yeah ! I’d say that police officers should have more safe ride campaigns, especially for
students because I see many students break riding rules.

Bayu : that’s true. By the way, we never have a safe ride campaign. What do you think if we
arrange one at our school?

Yuda : I agree, I think we should have one, so we understand the importance of safe ride and
riding rules . what’s your opinion if we invite a police officer to campaign safe ride at our
school?

Bayu : I agree with you. Let’s discuss this matter further in the osis meeting tomorrow.

Yuda : that sounds great.
