Using the first person in an essay if the topic implies my involvement
Hello,
Could you please suggest whether it is possible to use the first person in an essay if the topic implies my involvement in the issue? For example,
"Topic: It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan?".
And it doesn't deal with a single "In my opinion" phase. Can I refer to myself while writing claim supporting examples? For instance, may I write
"Since a new restaurant will be built in my neighbourhood, it will take me a minimum of time to get there."?
Or should I use only the third person?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Clive,
Thanks for your comments.

Sorry for this riddle. What I really intended to say is that the originaly stated
question doesn't concern the "In my opinion"-like phrases that may be legaly
used irrespectively of whether the topic suggests writer's in

Hi,
Generally speaking, I'd avoid 'in my opinion . . . ' in any essay.
