I'd like to share with you what I have learned for today. Normally we only have one class for thursday but for today we have two class for BEL260. One class in the afternoon for replacement class and class in the evening. For afternoon class, as we have learned about linear to non-linear essay, miss Zu decide to make a pop quiz for this topic. We take about one hour for this quiz.
Night Class
What is the difference between fact and opinion??? The difference between fact and opinion is that a fact is something that is empirically true and can be supported by evidence, while an opinion is a belief that may or may not be backed up with some type of evidence. An opinion is normally a subjective statement that can be the result of an emotion or an individual interpretation of a fact. For example, biological differences between males and females are a fact while a preference for one gender over the other is opinion. It is hard to find whether the sentences is fact or opinion especially when it goes to reading comprehension. There are some tips on how to differentiate between this two things...
- Things known for certain to have happened
- Things known for certain to be true
- Things known for certain to exist
Opinion :
- Things believed to have happened
- Things believed to be true
- Things believed to exist
EXAMPLE :
1. More and more women are deciding to give birth to their children at home. A hospital,
after all, is not the best place for a baby to be born. FACT
after all, is not the best place for a baby to be born. FACT
2. B. J. Vukovich, author of Claws, the best-written novel of the disaster genre, will speak at tonight’s “How I Became An Author” meeting. OPINION
3. The national coal strike, now into its seventh week, has caused untold hardships on the miners, their families, and the rest of the winter-weary nation. FACT
4. Janet Guthrie, world famous auto racer, was the least nervous driver at the Indy 500. OPINION
- Once the cavity reaches the dentin (the hard, dense, bone-like material that composes the principal mass of the tooth), it must be cleaned and filled. Some researchers, however, are beginning to question whether periodic cleaning and checking of the enamel (the calcareous substance that forms a thin layer capping the teeth) plays a significant role in preventing tooth decay. FACT
At the end of the class, we join the activity on distinguishing between fact and opinion. We are divided into group of 5 and each group have to pick one of the product that miss Zu have put it in one box. We have to make 10 sentences of fact and opinion and other group will guess whether it is fact or opinion. For my group we got a product of oreo with vanilla flavour. yummy!!! For this activity, Rahey's group is considered as a winner as they got higher mark differ from other group.
