2. To learn how to statement and express the opinions.

Analysis of students’ learning and teaching ideas：

　　 This part introduces the differences between a fact and an opinion. When persuading others, learn to use the correct expressions to show your own opinions in advertisements, news, letters and reports, learn to combine the facts and opinions commonly. The expressions of the opinions should cause the readers’ interest, and influence the readers. As the matter of fact, a fact is something that is true, while an opinion is what the writer thinks –it may or may not be true. So I’m afraid the students will have some trouble telling the differences between them and using them correctly in their expressions.
