It is very important to know when we are reading facts and when we are reading a writers opinions. The ability to recognize differences between facts and opinions can help us to achieve a deeper understanding in our reading.,Facts are statements that tell what really happened or what really is the case. A fact can be proved or disproved with direct evidence. It is something known by actual experience or observing.,Recognizing Differences Between Facts and Opinions,随 笔,阅读实践,Look at an example from Text A: Gail and I imagined a quiet wedding. During our two years together we had experienced the usual ups and downs of a couple learning to know, understand, and respect each other. (Para. 1),随 笔,阅读实践,Opinions are statements of belief, judgment or feeling. They show what someone thinks or feels about a subject. Solid opinions, of course, are based on facts. However, opinions are still somebodys view of something and are not facts themselves.,Recognizing Differences Between Facts and Opinions,随 笔,阅读实践,Look at an example from Text A: But when I met Mark I found him a charming and intelligent young guy. (Para. 7),随 笔,阅读实践,But it is not always easy to tell opinion from fact. A writer often combines the two in such a way that we do not always notice where fact ends and opinion begins. When we have a mixture of fact and opinion in a single statement, we must decide whether the main point of the sentence is essentially fact or opinion. Sometimes an opinion is presented as if it were a fact.,Recognizing Differences Between Facts and Opinions,随 笔,阅读实践,Look at an example from Text A: My biggest worry is that you may be marrying Mark for the same wrong reasons that I married your father. (Para. 7),随 笔,阅读实践,阅读技巧,Directions: Look at the following statements from Text B and decide which are facts and which are opinions. Put F (for fact) or O (for opinion) in brackets.,随 笔,_ 1.

In fact, I arranged it so my mother would want to cook a meal especially for him. Para. 2 One day, my mother called me, to invite me to a birthday dinner for my father. My brother Vincent was bringing his girlfriend, Lisa Lum. I could bring a friend, too.,Chinese,Question 1,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 3 I knew she would do this, because cooking was how my mother expressed her love, her pride, her power, and her proof that she knew more than anyone else. “Just be sure to tell her later that her cooking was the best you ever tasted,” I told Rich. “Believe me.”,Chinese,Question 2,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 4a The eve of the dinner, I sat in the kitchen watching her cook, waiting for the right moment to tell her about our marriage plans, that we had decided to get married next July, about seven months away. She was cubing garlic and slicing cabbage into small pieces and chatting at the same time about Auntie Suyuan:,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 4b “She can only cook looking at directions. My instructions are in my fingers. I know what secret ingredients to put in just by using my nose!” And she was slicing so quickly, seemingly not paying attention to her sharp chopping knife, that I was afraid the tips of her fingers would become one of the ingredients of the purple vegetable and pork dish.,Chinese,Question 3,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 5 I was hoping she would say something first concerning Rich. I had seen her expression when she opened the door, her forced smile as she surveyed him from head to toe, checking her judgment of him against that already given to her by Auntie Suyuan. I tried to anticipate what criticisms she would have.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 6a Rich was not only not Chinese, he was also my junior, a few years younger than I was. And unfortunately, he looked much younger with his curly red hair, smooth pale skin, and the splash of orange freckles across his nose. He was a bit on the short side, compactly built.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 6b In his dark business suits, he looked nice but easily forgettable, like somebodys nephew at a funeral. This was why I didnt notice him the first year we worked together at the firm. But, my mother noticed everything.,Chinese,Question 4,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 7 “So what do you think of Rich?” I finally asked, holding my breath. Para. 8 She tossed the garlic in the hot oil, which bubbled in a loud, angry sound. “So many spots on his face,” she said.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 9 I could feel the goose bumps rise on my back. “Theyre freckles. Freckles are good luck, you know,” I felt compelled to defend on his behalf, a bit too heatedly as I raised my voice above the noise of the kitchen. Para. 10 “Oh?” She said innocently. Para. 11 “Yes, the more spots the better. Everybody knows that.”,Chinese,Question 5,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 12 She considered this a moment and then smiled and spoke in a Chinese dialect: “Maybe this is true. When you were young, you got the chicken pox. So many spots, you had to stay home for ten days. So lucky, you thought.” Para. 13 I couldnt save Rich in the kitchen. And I couldnt save him later at the dinner table either.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 14 He had brought a bottle of French wine, something he did not know my parents could not appreciate. My parents did not even own appropriate glasses for wine. And then he also made the mistake of drinking not one but two frosted glasses full, while everybody else had a half-inch “just for taste”.,Chinese,Question 6,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 15 But the worst happened when Rich criticized my mothers cooking, and he didnt even have a clue about what he had done. As is the Chinese cooks custom, my mother always made negative remarks about her own cooking. That night she chose to direct it toward her famous steamed pork and preserved vegetable dish, which she always served with special pride.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 16 “Ai! This dish not salty enough, no flavor,” she complained, after tasting a small bite. “It is too bad to eat.” Para. 17 This was our familys cue to eat some and proclaim it the best she had ever made. But before we could be so diplomatic, Rich said, “You know, all it needs is a little soy sauce.” And he proceeded to pour a riverful of the salty black stuff on the china plate, right before my mothers shocked eyes.,Chinese,Question 7,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para. 18 And even though I was hopeful throughout the dinner that my mother would somehow see Richs kindness, his sense of humor and charm, I knew he had failed miserably in her eyes. Para. 19 Rich obviously had had a different opinion on how the evening had gone. When we got home that night, after we put Shoshana to bed, he said modestly, “Well, I think we hit it off A-OK.”,Chinese,Question 8,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,课文阅读,Choice Making,1.
