  2. Distinguishing Between Facts and Opinions Listening Practice- Numbers

  3. It is very important to tell the difference between facts and the writer’s opinions in the course of reading. Then what are facts? And what are opinions? Facts— What really happened; objective (客观的) Opinions— Ideas, feelings, judgements or belief from facts; subjective(主观的)

  4. Example 1: Sandy sat there quietly. Fact? Opinion? Fact! Sandy’s sitting there is objectively an action. The writer didn’t make any comment on it, nor did you.

  5. Example 2: It’s probably that awful music that wakes me up every morning. Fact? Opinion? Opinion! Why? Because the writer has shown his feeling or judgment on the music by the word awful. Is the music really awful? It depends! Even you may not think in that way!

  6. The biggest difficulty in distinguishing fact from opinion: When you agree with the writer’s opinions, you may take those subjective things for granted, that is, you may mistake the opinions for facts! Example: He’s so good looking, smart and funny. Fact? Opinion?

  7. Opinion! Why? Maybe you also think the same as the writer that he is good looking, but it doesn’t mean other people will accept this idea. “Good looking”, “smart” and “funny” are just thejudgementsof the writer and not necessarily the truth!

  8. Can you distinguish between facts and opinions here? fact? opinion?

  9. Although there are many alarmist (危言 • 耸听）speeches made to the contrary (相反), in fact, man completely controls nuclear power plants. Opinion! b. The amount of money invested (投资) annually (每年) by this government, on environmental issues alone, is $2m. Fact!

  10. c. It is clear that the only reasonable solution to return to nature is to tap (开发) nuclear power. Opinion! d. Fossil (化石) fuels (燃料) provide a safe alternative (选择) for nuclear power. Fact!
