FACT VS OPINION

This is my first reading classs. I'm very suprise because there are a lot of student inside the class. Actually the reading class are combination between two groups which are group a and b. Miss Zu had given a task to promote the product and the audience should identify which of the stament is fact or opinion. The group that get the highest marks will be the winner.. Sadly, my group lose tonight. But never mind, we will fight next class to win the game.. chayok3



This was my group that promoted dictionary.


Lets learn about facts and opinion...

   What do you know about fact and opinion?? How do you differentiate them??

A FACT

Fact is objective information that can be checked /proved to be true, the information does not change and not a statement about the future.

How to identify facts??
  • use  dates and years
  • use of statistics / figures / precise numbers or quantities
  • use defination
  • when stating  a geographical or scientific fact
OPINION
Opinion is a statement that cannot be proved to be true or false and can be a statement of the future.

Clues to identify opinions:
  • use adjective when change point of view or emotion. eg: exciting/fun/worst
  • the use of comparison words which shows a comparison between two or more things. eg: more/most/better/worst/least
  • use of other words that shows frequency, possibility, advisability, and necessity.                       eg: probably/likely/perhaps/may/should/must/always/usually/often/occasionally
  • use phrases that show a belief, suggestion, feelling, and an opinion. eg: in my opinion/i feel/appear
