我同意 (I agree)

我同意 is a simple, direct way to agree with what someone just said — literally "I agree."

我同意，爬山可以运动一下。— I agree, hiking is good exercise too.

我也这么想 (I think so too)

也 (also) + 这么想 (think this way) is a natural way to say you feel the same as the person before you.

我也这么想，我们好久没有一起出去了。— I think so too, we haven't gone out together in ages.

于是 (so; as a result)

于是 links two clauses to show the second happened as a natural result of the first.

于是我们决定周六见面。— So we decided to meet on Saturday.
