Dialogue: Asking and Giving Opinion

Farah: Hey everybody, I read the newest chapter of this novel in the morning! Have you read it yet? Elly: Oh really? I'll read it now! Wait for me! Daisy: I've read it. If you ask me, I think this chapter's plot is quite cliche. I can guess that the first lead will solve the misunderstanding soon.  Farah: Hmm, I feel that the first lead will go through a bigger problem. A suspicious girl made an appearance. Her mysterious smile creeps me, she's plotting something. Brr! Daisy: Whoa! I didn't think of that. What are your thoughts about her? Farah: She's quite rude towards the first lead. I believe she will be the villain and ruin the first lead's life!  Elly: Guys, I just read it. I'm not sure she will be the villain. There are a lot of opportunities. She might be rude now, but maybe she will sacrifice her life for the first lead. Farah: Amazing. It's unpredictable. I'll be waiting for the next chapter. Elly: By the way, my sister suggested that I ...
