Ⅶ. Read and finish the tasks.(请阅读短文,完成下列任务。)
In our life, we talk about many things with our friends. We need to know two important things: facts and opinions. A fact is true information. It is always true and never changes. We can see or check it.
For example, "Apples have peels." is a fact. An opinion is one's idea or feeling. Different people can have different opinions. For example, "Apples are healthy." is an opinion. We have different opinions about many things. Some students like eating apples with the peel. They think it is healthy. Other students like eating apples without the peel. They think it tastes good.
