14th January 2013

4.00 pm - 6.00 pm

Today we all learned about facts and opinions. Fact is objective information that can be checked or proved to be true. Fact also is information that does not change. Fact is not a statement about the future. There are a few clues that we can use to identify facts which are:

• the use of dates and year
• the use of statistics or figured or precise numbers or quantities
• the use of definitions
• when starting a geographical or scientific fact. 

Opinion is a statement that cannot be proved to be true or false. An opinion also one’s personal belief, idea, or feeling about a subject. Opinion can be a statement about the future. There are also have a few clue to identify opinion which are :

• the use of adjectives which show your point of view or emotions
• the use of comparison words which show a comparison between two or more things
• the use of other words which show frequency, possibility, advisability and necessity
• the use of phrase which show a belief, a suggestion, a feeling, or an opinion. 

After Miss Zuehas explained about the facts and opinions, she wants us to form a group. My group members are Farhah, Syazz, Seha, Fatin Izzati and also me. She gave us one product which is coconut milk and she wants us to promote about that product. We all must talk about a product and talk about the fact and opinion about the product. Then, the rest of the group will guess how many fact and opinion that the group has present.
