A fact is an objective piece of information that can be verified and proven true through evidence or observation. It exists independently of opinions, beliefs, or feelings.
Facts
An opinion is a personal belief, judgment, or feeling that is subjective and cannot be proven true or false through evidence alone. It reflects what someone thinks or feels, not necessarily what is.
Opinions
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.
