Can be verified with evidences
and is provable, observable
and measurable.
Fact
Can not be proven.
They are based on someone’s thoughts,
their feelings and their understanding.
Though you may be able to use facts to
add credibility to an opinion, it is still an
opinion!
Though an opinion may be widely
accepted, that does not make it a fact.

5. Differences Between Fact and
Opinion
Fact Opinion
A fact can be proven
by a reliable authority
or information such us:
• A history book
• Statistics
• Mathematics
• Governmental laws
There are several types of
opinions:
• Hypothesis statements
• Assumptive statements
• Theory statements
• Value statements
• Exaggerated statements
Certain words to
give you hint
that the
statement is an
opinion.
Some those are:
maybe
perhaps
best
worst
probably
apparently
other
suggestive

6. A hypothesis is a statement that
can be proved or disproved.
A research question can be made
into a hypothesis by changing it
into a statement.
For example, the third research
question above can be made into
the hypothesis: Maximum reflex
efficiency is achieved after eight
hours of sleep.
The assumptive selling
technique, also known as a
presumptive close, takes
place when a salesperson
intentionally assumes that
the customer has already
said yes to the sale.
For example, an assumptive
statement from the
salesperson might be "give
me your credit card and I'll
get the paperwork started."

7. A scientific theory is a
broad explanation that is
widely accepted because it
is supported by a great deal
of evidence.
Examples of theories in
physical science include
Dalton's atomic theory,
Einstein's theory of gravity,
and the kinetic theory of
matter.
Value statements are declarations
about how the organization wants
to value their customers, suppliers
and be valued within their own
internal community. These value
statements explicitly define how
people will behave with each other in
the organization. Priorities and
actions are grounded in the
organization's values.
Example value statement:
"Our work will be guided and
informed by our beliefs and
commitments to: Inclusiveness - we
respect people, value diversity and
are committed to equality.

8. Exaggeration is a statement that makes
something worse, or better, than it really
is. In literature and oral communication,
writers and speakers use exaggeration as
a literary technique, to give extra stress
and drama in a work or speech.
For example: This bicycle is a thousand
years old.

9. Ferdinand Marcos is the former president of the
Philippines.
Jhon F.Kenndy was President 1961-1963.
The adult human body has 206 bones.

10. President Duterte is the best.
John F. Kennedy was an excellent President.
Apparently, the human body has more
bones than was is necessary.

11. “Where can we usually
hear, see or read factual
and opinionated
information?”
* Tabloid
*radio
*television
*magazine
*internet

12. Guidelines of Listening
1. Keep an Open
mind.
Keeping an open
mind means to
wait until you
know all the facts
before having an
opinion or
making
judgment.
2. Stay focused on the
topic.
Focusing on the topic
when listening will
help you to identify
key points and ideas.
3. Identify purpose and main
idea.
Knowing how to listen for the
main point is the way to
actually understand what the
other person is trying to say.
The main idea is the most
important concept of the
passage as a whole.
Once you understand the
main point, all the details will
fall into place but without the
main point, nothing really
makes sense.
