Agreeing with an opinion Disagreeing with an Opinion

I agree with you. However,…

I agree with this idea. I’m sorry to disagree with you, but…

I completely agree with this view. I'm not so sure about that.

This is absolutely right. I'm afraid I have to disagree.

I couldn't agree more (on this). On the contrary…

Hannah: In my opinion, the good school is the one that makes a


balance between discipline and fun.
Amy: I completely agree with you, Hannah. Too much focus on
discipline can make a school like a prison, and excessive focus on fun
makes it a park rather than a school. So balance is better.
Paul: I’m sorry to say this, but I totally disagree with you. What is the
point of fun in a school? To my mind, the good school is the one
where you don’t have to study such useless subjects as foreign
languages.
Amy: I don’t agree with you, Paul. I think foreign languages are very important nowadays.
Hannah: You are right Amy. There is no good school that doesn’t teach foreign languages today.
