How to say "yes" or "no" more lengthily

 

                        There are many occasions in the writing section (part 2) or speaking section (especially in part 3) where you are required to agree or disagree with an opinion or the development either through answering a yes/no question or by showing your agreement or disagreement. Here are some expressions you can use to lengthen your response to the task:

 

Yes:

•     I totally support this idea/viewpoint/opinion.
•    I believe this is a positive development.
•    I think this is a beneficial development. In my point of view, this is very good.

 

Partial Yes:

• I tend to believe that this is generally good, though some might disagree.

No:

• Well, I think it is impossible to ignore the drawbacks.
• I don't think this is a good/positive development/idea.
•  I don't regard this as an improvement.
• I wonder if this is good, because...
•  I can't help but think this is bad.
• I can't help but disagree with you. 
• I’m afraid I have to disagree with you. 
• I tend to consider this a major disadvantage. 
• I'm afraid I consider this to be very bad.
