Opinion Essay: cómo escribir un artículo de opinión

an opinion essay 1 bachillerato

¡Hola a todos y bienvenidos un jueves más!  Hoy vamos a ver cómo escribir un artículo de opinión, es decir, un OPINION ESSAY. 

Saber redactar un opinion essay conlleva conocer la estructura del texto así como algunos conectores y formas para introducir nuestra opinión. Pero lo cierto es que este post no solo nos ayudará a aprender a redactarlo, sino que además aprenderemos expresiones para que en nuestro día a día sepamos expresar nuestra opinión de manera oral. 

Espero que os acordéis de los linkers and connectors del post anterior de escritura, ¡porque hoy os van a resultar útiles! Aunque, no os preocupéis, repasaremos los más útiles para este essay concreto.

¿Preparados? ¡Vamos allá!

¿Qué es un opinion essay?

Para aprender a redactarlo, es esencial saber qué es. Un opinion essay es una redacción en la que damos nuestra opinión sobre algún tema determinado. 

Es importante mostrar una opinión clara desde el principio, es decir, desde la introducción de la redacción. A lo largo del texto, acompañaremos nuestra opinión de razones y ejemplos que argumenten nuestro punto de vista. Además, podemos ofrecer también una visión opuesta a la nuestra y explicar por qué nuestra opinión  es mejor . 

Estructura del opinion essay

El opinion essay, al igual que cualquier otro tipo de essay (o redacción), debe estar dividido en párrafos. Así, la información estará visualmente dividida y el lector podrá fácilmente diferenciar cada parte correspondiente a cada párrafo. 

Podemos resumir la información que debemos dar en el essay así: di lo que quieres decir, arguméntalo y resúmelo. Suena lioso, pero vamos a verlo de forma detallada en cada parte de la redacción. 

Introduction – Introducción

Un opinion essay debe comenzar siempre con una introducción. En ella, ofrecemos nuestro claro punto de vista sobre el tema que vayamos a tratar. Debemos introducir de forma clara y concisa qué pensamos, es decir, cuál es nuestra opinión, pero aún no hace falta que argumentemos los motivos. 

Hay varias formas de introducir una opinión:

In my opinión,

En mi opinión,

From my point of view,

Desde mi punto de vista,

I think / I believe (that)…

Creo que / Pienso que…

As I see it,

A mi modo de ver,

As far as I am concerned,

En lo que a mí respecta,

It seems to me that…

A mí me parece que…

I agree / disagree with…

Estoy de acuerdo / en desacuerdo con…

Personally,

Personalmente,

If you ask me,

Si me preguntas a mí,

Consejo – ¿Qué son los intensificadores?

Las expresiones como ‘I think’ o ‘I believe’ son muy fáciles y sencillas, pero se corresponden con un nivel básico. Sin embargo, es posible utilizarlas si queremos redactar un texto más formal o de más nivel, y para ello tendremos que añadirles intensificadores . Los intensificadores son palabras que dan fuerza a nuestra opinión. Aquí os dejo algunos:

  • Completely – I completely agree – Estoy completamente de acuerdo…
  • Amazingly – I amazingly believe – Sorprendentemente creo… 
  • Totally – I totally think – Totalmente pienso…
  • Utterly – I utterly believe – Totalmente creo…
  • Quite – I quite agree – Coincido en que… / Estoy bastante de acuerdo en que… 

Body – Cuerpo 

En el cuerpo presentamos ideas que argumenten nuestra opinión. Es importante que cada idea se corresponda con un párrafo, es decir, no debemos escribir dos ideas distintas en el mismo párrafo. Esto facilitará mucho la lectura y la compresión al lector y mostrará que somos personas ordenadas y con una opinión clara. El cuerpo suele variar entre uno y tres párrafos. Si queremos ofrecer algún argumento más, podemos añadir algún párrafo más, pero no recomiendo que sean más de 5. Realmente, lo ideal son 3. 

Hay varios conectores que nos pueden ayudar a introducir nuestros argumentos.

Para el primer párrafo argumentativo del cuerpo:

First of all,

Antes de nada,

Firstly,

En primer lugar,

To begin with,

Para empezar,

Para el segundo y/o tercer párrafo argumentativo del cuerpo:

Secondly,

En segundo lugar,

Moreover,

Además,

In addition to this,

Además de esto,

Thirdly,

En tercer lugar,

Para el último párrafo argumentativo del cuerpo:

Finally,

Por último,

Last but not least (important),

Por último pero no menos importante,

En el caso de que queramos añadir una opinión opuesta a la nuestra: 

On the other hand,

Por otra parte,

However,

Sin embargo,

Nevertheless,

Sin embargo,

Conclusion – Conclusión

La conclusión será el último párrafo que escribiremos. En ella, debemos resumir de nuevo nuestra opinión y enumerar los argumentos de forma realmente breve. No tenemos que explicar nada, sino simplemente mencionarlos.

Algunos conectores útiles para introducir la conclusión:

In conclusion,

En conclusión,

To sum up,

Para resumir,

In short,

En resumen,

  • No utilicéis nunca abreviaturas. Un opinion essay debe ser una redacción formal, así que las abreviaturas, como bien sabéis, no son bienvenidas.
  • Argumentad siempre vuestra opinión, es decir, si afirmáis algo, argumentad por qué. No basta con decir ‘I do not agree’, debéis decir por qué no estáis de acuerdo. 
  • Intentad utilizar conectores distintos. No digáis en cada párrafo ‘I think’, la variedad en el lenguaje es riqueza. 
  • No escribáis una conclusión demasiado larga. Debe ser clara y breve. 

Los opinion essays son un tema muy común en exámenes de inglés. Pero, además, saber expresar en el día a día lo que pensamos es esencial.

Espero que con los conectores y los consejos que hemos visto hoy, ¡os resulte ahora mucho más fácil dar vuestra opinión!

¡Ah! Y si queréis repasar los conectores para cualquier tipo de essay y para nuestro día a día, os dejo este artículo:

5 Ejemplos de opinion essay

Opinion essay.

Se trata de un artículo de opinión con respecto a un tema determinado redactado en idioma inglés. En este tipo de redacción o ensayo lo más importante es la conclusión , indistintamente del argumento que uses para poder realizarlo.

an opinion essay 1 bachillerato

Es un ejercicio de redacción realizado en inglés. Una de las bases fundamentales de un opinion essay son en primer lugar el vocabulario variado y abundante con sentido , y en segundo lugar, el contenido o frases bien estructuradas con suficientes conectores que te permitan estructurar de la mejor forma (con léxico y vocablo educado) determinada opinión.

La importancia de un opinion essay radica en evitar casi por completo el vocabulario informal, las contracciones y los términos coloquiales .

¿Cómo se debe estructurar un opinion essay?

La estructura de este tipo de ensayos tal como se mencionó anteriormente debe estar lo suficientemente definido . En este sentido, las partes que lo conforman, deben permitirle al lector poder interpretarlo y entenderlo solo con “echar un ojo por encima”.

Lo primero que se debe tomar en cuenta es la introducción . En ella, el punto de vista que vas a plantear debe quedar claro y sin duda alguna. Algunas frases o conectores que puedes usar para ello son los siguientes:

  • believe that / Some / many people feel – cree que / Algunas / muchas personas sienten
  • As I see it – a mi modo de ver
  • It is generally agreed that – en general se cree que
  • According to – según
  • It seems to me that – me parece que

En Segundo lugar pero igual de importante son los argumentos empleados para este tipo de redacción. Estos deben ser organizados en dos grupos o tres, dependiendo de la cantidad del contenido.

La idea es exponer de forma detallada en los argumentos, el punto de vista que se va a plasmar bien sea a favor o en contra. Algunos ejemplos que se pueden emplear son los siguientes:

  • I belive that – creo que
  • For example – por ejemplo
  • In my opinion – en mi opinion
  • On the one hand – por una parte
  • Because of this – debido a esto

En tercer lugar, la conclusión . Debe ser manejada con mucho detalle y palabras adecuadas ya que es aquí donde se expresa el final del artículo redactado. Algunas palabras, conectores o frases que puedes emplear al momento de realizar la conclusión son las siguientes:

  • To sum up – para resumir
  • In conclusion – en conclusión
  • Whereas – mientras que
  • However – sin embargo

The Human Cost of Your Breakfast Banana

A withered banana peel with a faded sticker on it knocks down blue chairs at a breakfast table. The table has pancakes and orange juice on it.

By Ignacio Gómez G.

Mr. Gómez G. is the director of “Noticias Uno,” a Colombian news program. He has covered drugs, crime and corporate corruption in Colombia for 40 years.

Although several El Espectador journalists were killed in the 1980s and ’90s, many young reporters aspired to being on the staff of the storied Colombian newspaper at the end of the 20th century. I loved working there, despite the risks. After the Medellín cartel bombed our headquarters, my colleagues and I rescued from the rubble the desk on which Gabriel García Márquez wrote his first stories for the paper.

We dreamed that an invisible Mr. García Márquez, from that empty desk, urged us to pursue stories that would expose injustice in Colombia. In 1998, when The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the American banana company Chiquita Brands had bribed Colombian officials to obtain a license for the use of a port loading facility in Turbo, Urabá, a city on Colombia’s coast, I began investigating the firm as if Mr. García Márquez himself had handed me the assignment.

Chiquita denied the allegations of the 1998 Enquirer story. The paper later publicly apologized and renounced the investigation after it was revealed that a reporter lied about sourcing and illegally obtained voice mail records. But at El Espectador we felt that The Enquirer was on to something. We published the allegations, noting that the paper had retracted the article and that the story’s reporter was being investigated by the police in Ohio. And for years — even when I left El Espectador for “Noticias Uno,” a nightly news program — I continued to look into the company. In 2002, after speaking with Nicaraguan police and military officials as well as the police in Panama, I reported that 3,000 weapons for the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, a right-wing paramilitary group known as the AUC, had landed in the Urabá port from Nicaragua and that Chiquita appeared to have been aware the militants were using its facilities to receive weapons.

Now, I like to think that Mr. García Márquez would have smiled at the outcome of a Florida lawsuit against Chiquita. In June, a jury found Chiquita liable for the deaths of eight men killed by the AUC, which Chiquita helped finance. (Seventeen years earlier, the Department of Justice found that Chiquita paid the group over $1.7 million between 1997 and 2004 .) The firm was ordered to pay $38.3 million in damages to the men’s families. It was the first time that Chiquita was found liable for its actions in Latin America. A representative for Chiquita, responding to questions about this essay, said that the company’s payments to the AUC were made under duress and that it is appealing the verdict.

The world has known something was amiss in the banana business for a while. In Colombia, “Noticias Uno” had reported on Chiquita’s association with the AUC since the early 2000s. And while that relationship has come under legal scrutiny in the United States, Chiquita has yet to face judgment in Colombia. The Florida case raised long neglected ethical questions in both countries about the real cost of one of the least expensive fruits in American supermarkets. We should all ask ourselves: How much bloodshed is behind the bananas we eat for breakfast?

In the Urabá region, there’s been far too much. Chiquita set up an operation there, where the land to grow bananas was inexpensive, but it was forced to pay the AUC through its subsidiary in Colombia to operate safely, the company has said . In the 20th century, Fusarium wilt, a deadly fungus also known as Panama disease, destroyed banana crops in parts of the Caribbean and Central America but not in Colombia. Then, in 1998, some of Chiquita’s banana operations in Honduras and Guatemala suffered hurricane damage , costing the company $74 million. Chiquita, it seemed, accepted that paying the paramilitaries was the cost of doing business in Colombia.
