“Do not say, I think...

”
Every day we have an ability to express our point of view. We usually use
such a structure of words as “I think...”, but please, do not say it in this way! In
order to sound smart, more formal, and express your thoughts clearer, use the
words which are presented in the list below.

In my opinion...
To my mind...
I strongly believe...
I would say...
I consider that...
It’s my belief...
As far as I can tell...
If you ask me...
As far as I concerned...
It seems to me that...
I am not going to lie...
In my view...
I believe...
I considered (something) to be...
I presume...
So, there shouldn’t be any problems with replacing “I think...” with any
phrase from these tables. As a result of this change, your speech will be
clearer, more significant, and well-structured.
