2. adverse
The teacher will read an
excerpt from the article
entitled “Plastic Pollution”.

Plastic pollution is the

accumulation of plastic
objects and particles in the
Earth’s environment that
adversely affects wildlife,
wildlife habitats, and
humans... As of 2018,
about 230 million tons of
plastic are produced
worldwide each year, of
which an estimated 9 %
has been recycled and
another 12% has been
burned. This large amount
of plastic waste enters the
 environment… In some
areas, there have been
significant efforts to reduce
plastic pollution.

(The teacher will ask

comprehension questions)

Are you in favor of banning

single-use plastic such as
plastic cups, plastic bags
and disposable plastic Fact
spoons and forks?

What do you understand if

a statement given is based Opinion
on data or evidences?

What do you understand if

a statement given is based
on someone’s feelings
only?
Analysis Our topic for this morning
is about Fact and Opinion.

Let us read carefully these

two sets of sentences.

A. I believe that reading

books is still the
wisest thing to do.
Maybe it will be good
to experience Nanay
Delia’s Farm first.
I guess it’s time to
visit.
B. President Duterte is
the current
President of the
Philippines.
Bats are the only
 true flying
mammals.
The sun rises and
sets every single day.
Set A expresses opinions

Which set of sentences because it has signal

expresses opinions? How words like I believe, Maybe

did you know? What and I guess. These signal

expressions are used? Can words show that it is

you give other expressions based on someone’s

to signal opinions? opinion only.

Which set of sentences Set B expresses facts

states facts? How did you because it can be verified

know? with evidence. It is

something that is true and
tells what actually
happened.
Abstraction Here are some examples of
opinion.

Dogs are the best pets

among animals.

This statement is an
opinion because not all
people believe dogs as the
best pets. Some believes
that cats, birds and other
animals are the best.

I would say that an

intelligent child always
succeeds.

Not all intelligent children

succeed. There are
children who are not
intelligent, but they
succeed in life. For some
people, intelligence is not
 the basis for an
individual’s success in life.
It is one’s attitude towards
life that counts.

Here are some examples of

opinion.

The sun is the center of

the solar system.

It is a fact. We can prove it

through scientific data and
other references.

Australia is the smallest

continent in the world.

By using world atlas or

other references we can
verify that Australia is the
smallest continent in the
world with land area of
3,300,000 sq. miles

character.

that expresses one’s ideas,
