📚 Topic Summary
When you share your opinion, it's more convincing if you have good reasons to back it up. Reasons explain why you think something. They make your opinion stronger and help others understand your point of view. For example, if you think reading is fun, you might give reasons like 'I learn new things' or 'I get to visit different worlds'.
