CONCLUSION OF THE CONCLUSION OF THE ACTIVITYACTIVITY
What the students have just done has a particular purpose. That is to take the first step to approach the way of expressing opinions, ideas, points of view subjectively. It is rather different from the way to say a fact.So what is an opinion and what is a fact?And how do they differ from each other?
