As regards the war, Tim believed in victory at any price. - Jeśli chodzi o wojnę , Tim wierzył w zwycięstwo za wszelką cenę .

It’s too short and besides I don’t like the author’s style. - To jest zbyt krótkie, a poza tym nie podoba mi się styl autora.

Furthermore, I neglect such a view. - Ponadtko, nie zgadzam się z taką opinią.

The idea is not reasonable and moreover it’s unreal. - Pomysł nie jest rozsadny, a ponodto nie jest realny

I agree and then there is another aspect.

To begin with, you have to remember that…

His attitude is wrong and what’s more, he seems to be a layman.

Uzasadnianie:

He won the election and accordingly he bacame a chairman.

As you always come too late, I decided not to wait for you.

I argue with you because you are completely wrong.

He had credentials and hence they employed him.

He did it and in consequence he was on time.

I decided to write it since I was asked to do so.

He broke all the rules and thereby, he was expelled.

Profits, therefore, were down last time.

Thus, the whole project cannot be implemented.

Wyrażanie opinii:

According to the author…

As far as I am concerned they can do what they want.

As far as I know it works in a different way.

As for me, I would have done it.

Try to think of it from my standpoint.

I am convinced that it may happen.

I am of the opinion that it is impossible.

I am of the view that it is very probable.

I assert that the thesis is to be substantiated.

I believe (that) this conclusion is legitimate.

He claims he followed the instructions.

I consider the author (to be) a great novelist.

I guess he wrote it himself.

I have every reason to believe that it could not happen for real.

I hold the view that it cannot be correct.

He maintained his innocence.

I opine that such a statement is ridiculous.

I reckon these allegations are unjustified.

I suppose he did not consider the elementary rules.

I think the authors exaggerate.

I would say that such a view is unacceptable.

In my opinion, it is not worth its price.

It seems to me that his arguments are difficult to prove.

Judging from the facts it is possible.

To my mind, it is nonsense.

Zgadzanie się:

I approve of his conclusions.

Your thinking is correct.

He is positive that they did it.

I confirm his arguments.

I accept these arguments. - Akceptuję te argumenty

I agree with you.

I am in sympathy with the author. - Popieram autora.

I sympathise with his opinion.

I support the solution he suggested.

It tallies with my calculations. - To zgadza się z moimi obliczeniami.

Niezgadzanie się:

I disapprove of such thinking.

I differ with him on this issue.

I disagree with you.

I negate such thinking.

I protest against such behaviour.

I object to be called in such a way.

I had to openly oppose him because he was completely wrong.

I reject this ideology.

Precyzowanie danej myśli:

What I mean is that it is not going to be easy.

His approach is inappropriate, I mean (to say) it lacks theoretical basis.

What I am getting at is (that) you are not being realistic.

The point is (that) I just cannot agree.

In other word, the software is full of bugs.

Sociolinguistics, that is to say the study of a language in a society is often underestimated.

I will make myself clear.

I will put it this way, If you want to succeed you have to concentrate on your goals.

Wyrażanie różnic:

It is a well known fact, actually.

anyway, I think that…

As a rule, he is never wrong.

But then such methods are practical.

The story is strange but true.

I usually drink coffee. Today, however, I am having a cup of tea.

I know your thinking is not correct, but in a way, I can understand such reasoning.

In contrast to his father he is very famous.

In fact, I am completely against your suggestion.

In spite of evidence, they did not believe him.

Nevertheless, it is still valued by scholars.

Nonetheless, it is important to him.

He is a decent man, notwithstanding I do not like him.

He is not tall, on the contrary, he is really short.

On the one hand, it is what I need.

On the other hand, it is too complicated.

The novel is hard to read; still, it is interesting.

I agree with the author to a certain extent, but…

She is not a mathematician and yet her skills are amusing.

Podsumowywanie:

Finally, I would like to concentrate on the main issue.

All things considered, he is a happy man.

As a conclusion we may quote the poet…

Generally speaking, it is not a problem.

I would like to say in conclusion, that I admire them.

In short, it was outrageous.

…and lastly it is the most popular programme.

On the whole, it is a quite good idea.

To conclude, the translator domesticated the story.

To recap, it can be accepted.

To sum up, there are advantages and disadvantages.
