This document distinguishes between facts and opinions by providing definitions and examples of each. It defines facts as statements that can be proven true through evidence, while opinions are subjective statements about personal feelings, preferences, or beliefs. Examples are given of factual statements involving dates, numbers, science, and historical events. In contrast, opinion statements use words like "think", "prefer", "believe", and include personal judgments with words like "best" or "sweetest". The document emphasizes that facts are supported by evidence, while opinions are subjective or lack evidence. It provides exercises to practice distinguishing facts from opinions.

children happy. That is why Rizal Park has a
playground for children, a skating rink, and bicycle
lanes. Families have picnics on the grass under

flowering hedges or watch the carp and goldfish swim
gaily in the ponds. A planetarium stands beside a
library rich in magazines and books for young and old.
