Fact- is a true statement. It is a thing or an event that really

happened or existed. It can be proven by means of observation and
experience.

Wild animals live in the forest.

Opinion- is a view or guess which may or may not be true. It is a

feeling or attitude. Clue words like think. Believe, feel, must be, must,
probably, seems, and often signal an opinion.

Example:
The dogs are said to be the mans’ best friend.
Peter feels that somebody is embracing him.

The Dancing Dragon

The Chinese have separate celebrations of their New Year. The

Chinese New Year falls between January 21 and February 19. They have a
great celebration on the last day of their New Year. They hold a parade
where you can see the dancing dragon and the make- believe lion. The
Chinese believe that the lion and the dragon are signs of good luck.
The Chinese believe that there are things that will bring prosperity
and good luck. They wear red clothes or polka-dotted ones for good luck.
They also used firecrackers to drive away bad spirits. Before the Chinese
New Year, they have a general cleaning of their homes. They eat and
serve a cake made of radish and tikoy for prosperity.

Read the story and you will know more about the grasshopper.
Then distinguish the fact statements from opinion by filling in the two
columns below. The statements are given for you.
The Grasshopper

4
 The grasshopper has three body parts: the head, thorax, and
abdomen. On its head are found the eyes, the mouth parts, and the two
antennae. The wings and the legs are attached to the thorax.
Do you know why this insect is called a grasshopper? It lives
where there are plenty of grasses. It just jumps and hops from one blade of
grass to another. It has six legs—two big legs that have sharp thorns. The
grasshopper can jump high because of its strong, long legs.
The grasshopper has four wings—two upper or outer wings and
two lower ones. The outer wings that are hard and stiff spread out straight
when the grasshopper flies. When it is flying, it is a beautiful sight with its
soft wings spread out like a fan. These wings are the two lower ones. They
are soft and thin. They are the ones that produce a crackling sound.
The grasshopper has big eyes. Its eyes cover almost all the two
sides of its head. They are called compound eyes. They are so- called
because they are made up of thousands of little eyes. They enable the
grasshopper to see far objects.
The grasshopper eats grass. When it begins to eat, it uses its two
front teeth to hold the grass. Grasshoppers are great eaters of leaves and
plants. They are very destructive to our plants, especially rice. But it does
not store food like ants.
The grasshopper has no lungs. The air just goes directly to the parts
of the body. This insect needs much air in its body to make it light. All the
tubes and other spaces in its body are always filled with air. When the
grasshopper drops into a body of water, it easily drowns because water
readily enters these spaces.
If you happen to catch a grasshopper, observe its parts.
Distinguish the following statements from fact and opinion.
1. The grasshopper has three body parts: head, thorax and abdomen.
2. The grasshopper has four wings.
3. Grasshoppers have six legs.
4. The grasshopper eats grass.
5. Grasshoppers have two big eyes. They are called compound eyes.
6. The grasshopper jumps and hops from one leaf to another.
7. The grasshopper can jump high because of its strong legs.
8. The grasshopper is a beautiful sight when it flies.
9. Grasshoppers are great eaters of leaves and plants.
10. Grasshoppers can see objects that are far, far away.
