Facts Vs Opinion

In this lesson I learned that difference between facts and opinion. First, facts are statements that can be proven by evidence, records, and data, while opinions are statements that is base on someone feelings and preferences. I also knew that there are 5 types of opinion. First, is hypothesis statements it explains an observation. Second, is theory, is an opinion from believe explanation. Third, is assumptions is an opinion that is based from predictions. Fourth, value statesments it is an opinion from someones belief. And last exaggerated is an opinion that emphasizes the statement to sway the readers. Example when you are not sure about it you can give an opinion about it. On the other hand when you know about it is fact.

OPEN AND CLOSE CONVERSATION

Last time, we tackled about "Open and Close conversation", a conversation use for communication and information in exchange to the person talking to. An Open Conversation requires you to answer in a long sentence to make it more interesting. On the other hand in Close Conversation you can answer it in simply "yes" or "no". To keep a conversation on going use the Seven ways. First, give a little more information than is asked for,second make a related comment, third repeat key words, react in some creative way ,fifth add comments, sixth ask a related questions and, last use question tags.

So after we finished discussing about this lesson we had group work consist of two members. My partner in that pairing is Mr. Manabe. We talked and used the Open and Close Conversation. Using the 7 ways to keep the conversation going. We present our talking in front of the class. It served as a Quiz.

For me our lesson really helps me to know how to keep a conversation long and more interesting. In my previous years in highschool, I used to keep the conversation short beacause it's hard for me to speak in english in fluent. I used to say "Oh really" "Okay" "Yes" "No". But now I know. I am now speaking in english often even if it is not english time, for me to be more fluent. Even in text and chat.


Sorry sir. I know this is late already. But please sir accept this. Thanks!

JUST DO IT.✔

JUST DO IT.


To begin with my personal description for you know me better, I will give you first a quote that best fit my personality.


“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”


Hi! A pleasant day to everyone! My name is Luis Antonio P. Malvar. I was born in Perpetual Succor Hospital in Manila on October 24 1996. I was  born by my two great parents Luzviminda Malvar and Antonio Malvar. My name was derived from the combination of my parent’s names, thus I was called Luis Antonio. My early childhood was spent in Bulacan for 7 years. My primary education began in Holy Spirit Academy of Malolos. When we moved in Quezon City, I continued my studies in Notre Dame of Greater Manila from 1st year to 2nd year. My parents saw some insightful factor in our school which led to my transfer to Colegio de San Lorenzo. At first I was apprehensive to transfer again to another school because I had to adjust to a new environment and new teachers and classmates. In high school I learned so many things in life. I have also my ups and down which is normal to a growing teenager my age. I remembered when I got a low grade (79) wherein my parents got disappointed. But as I matured I have  learned how to value time and apply it in my studies. I balanced my social life and my studies. There are bad influences in high school and good company influences me to avoid them.

I am a varsity player in volleyball for almost 3years. I was busy then being a player and didn’t have time for relaxation. But my father said "that it’s okay to enjoy my high school life but you should never take for granted your education” There is a big BUT. So I take his advice to be more focused in my studies. It is not all about study and study and study. I have also my hobbies in life, playing basketball and volleyball. Playing gadget especially ps3. I think I am in the Sporty level because I can easily learn other sports. Like badminton and Table Tennis.

Now, I am studying at Lyceum of the Philippines in Manila taking up Bs International Hospitality Management – Cruise Line Operation in Hotel Services in my 1st year college. This is only the first step into my Dreams. This is the last stage of studying. I need to be more focus in college. But now I’m adjusting to deal with up. I think this course will help me to have a better and secure career in future days.
“I always had a lot of confidence in my work and the unique essence is I like to bring it into my characters, but you know I'm not a huge dreamer. Everybody is a dreamer.”
