Activity 2 Read the text and decide whether the statements are Facts (F) or Opinions (O).
I’m Zhang Lin. I’m 26. I’d like to talk about some changes in my life over the years. When I was little, I lived with my parents. We had meals together every day. Now, I live by myself and sometimes I don’t have time for breakfast. I have to say that it is not healthy. Another big change in my life is the way of shopping. In the past, we went to stores to do shopping, but today we can shop online. I think it is much easier and simpler. I always order fruit and vegetables on phone apps. There are so many choices, and shopping online saves me a lot of time.
