Tuesday 3/7/2012 FACT VS OPINION

FACT vs OPINION? It's sound interesting right? I'm sure that all of you will be interested with this entry. Why I said like that? Because it can help you all to identify whether it is an opinion or a fact. For me, this lesson help me as I was really confused with this topic since I was learnt BEL 260. So guys, these are some tips that you all can use to differentiate the fact and the opinion. 

FACT

• dates / year
• statistic / figure / precise number or quotations
• definition
• geographical on scientific fact
• use the word "some"

OPINION

• adjectives
• comparison between two things or more
• possibility, advisability
• show a belief, a suggestion and a feeling 
• use the word "all"

Example :)

Siti Nurhaliza is a best singer in Malaysia who has been awarded all the trophies in singing competition.

This is an opinion. Why? Because of the word BEST and ALL.

Siti Nurhaliza is a female singer who starts her career at the early age which is 17. 

This is a fact. Why? Because this sentence has a number and we know that Siti is a female. 

That's all for today guys. Hopefully it will help you to enhance your knowledge. Thank you ^_*
