Tarantula’sFACT VS. OPINION
A fact is a statement
that is true.(e.g. “Elephants have trunks.”)
An opinion is the view that
somebody takes that is based
upon personal judgment.
(e.g. “Looking at elephants is a
waste of time.”)
The jellyfish is a poisonous creature that lives in the Pacific Ocean. It does not stay in one place; it floats all around. I am very much afraid of being stung by a jellyfish. It hurts! The jellyfish stings with its long tentacles, which hang down from its body. I would rather see a large shark than a jellyfish swimming near me!
